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. Its more of a “fun” run because it precedes the Rodeo parade downtown so there are lots of people cheering over the 1st mile. Even along the course, some…
Friday Five 2.0 is hosted by bloggers Running on Happy and Fairytales and Fitness. This week’s topic is “Spring fitness goals”. This is an easy topic because I’ve already blogged about my 2018 running goals. So it’s probably a perfect time to update you on how I’m doing so far. 2018 Goals: PR in a 5k: DONE. I PR’d during…
Double run weekend two weekends in a row! My running schedule has been pretty steady since I first started running. I run on Tuesdays, Thursdays and once on the weekends. 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. I figured that I love blogging about running, I love running, I love sharing my running adventures and I love running in skirts, so I might as well…
Tuesdays on the Run Linkup: (The linkup is hosted by Erika of MCM Mamma Runs, Marcia of Marcia’s Healthy Slice and Patty of My No-Guilt Life. Don’t forget to visit their sites!!) The Tuesdays on the Run subject this week is FAVORITE HOMETOWN RACE. It is difficult for me to choose because I am still a relatively new runner. I love the…
Friday Five 2.0 Linkup. I confess that this is my first link-up post. Running on Happy and Fairytales and Fitness are the hostesses of the Friday Five 2.0 linkup and it looked interesting, so I thought I’d try it out. Apparently each week they choose a weekly blog topic and invite other bloggers to also write about the same topic – then…
. Houston Marathon weekend: Last weekend was crazy busy here in Houston. Imagine the city’s biggest sporting event that reaches across the city and spreads out over 2 days. Marathon fever was here and it was great weather for running. My friend Shelley and I usually run on Sundays but we decided that neither of us would be able to…
2018 Running goals – Why are my this year’s running goals so difficult to choose? I have been thinking about what I should do in 2018 to improve my running. Should I run more? Should I do something differently? Should I sign up for more races? Commit to running XXX miles or kilometers over the year? I’m so confused… How…
This past week, I decided I needed get some honest feedback on my blog. I posted on the Facebook group “Slow Runners Community” asking members to to read my blog and provide some honest feedback. This was difficult for me because I know that I needed some feedback but it’s scary putting my writing out there, knowing that it won’t…
