We decided to run with the best bunz in town at the 30th Schlotzsky’s Bun Run benefiting the Austin Sunshine Camps for our fourth 5K of the spring. We ran this race last year and it is a pretty flat course with a fast field of runners (plenty of people to try to chase down). [...]

I scoured the Run Tex Calendar for a our third 5K and saw the Master’s School 5K in San Marcos. This year was their first year putting on a 5K benefiting their school and I thought it would be nice to go out and show our support at a smaller race. We woke up early [...]

After running the Rock and Roll San Diego half marathon I felt good and knew I could handle marathon training. Traveling away from Texas would have been the best option for a fall marathon but scheduling another big trip in the fall while the kids are in school is a little tricky so I opted [...]

Third 5K in 3 weeks and fifth race for me this Spring. I never race this often but my husband and kids have been enjoying the races so I have just gone along for the ride. Honestly after running the Cap 10K and realizing I was much slower than last Spring I did not want [...]
