The Shamrock Strut 5k and 10k Houston has been a small charity fun run for the past 33 years hosted by the Houston Eye Association Foundation. The race raises money for adults and children on the verge of losing their eyesight. The money directly supports patient services to help cover: surgical facility fees, vision-saving medications, and other ancillary services necessary…
The Houston Rodeo Run is one of the larger races in Houston. While its not the Houston Half or the annual Marathon – almost 10,000 runners and walkers participate every year.

This seems to be about what my body can handle as I’ve never really been injured and I’ve been running over 2 years now. For the past 2 weekends, however, I…
I am now officially a Skirt Sports Ambassador for 2018! I’m so excited to finally announce this and share my good news! I applied for the ambassadorship in December as a lark.
