How long did it take us to run the 6 mile route yesterday? Does it even matter?? 😂 We had to stop for all the pics! Then we grabbed coffee at Commonwealth. I love my Saturday mornings with friends. 🧡🧡
Thanks @scallywompus_events for a great Hill Country Series. Today’s run was so much fun, despite the rain. Looking forward to Midsummer Night’s dream and Alamo Beer Series. ❤️ #scallytag #teamsparkle #thesparklesquad #teamsparkle #running #racing #2run0 #sanantoniorunning #sanantoniorunners

I’m gonna be real with y’all…sometimes it just really sucks to suck 😔 I cannot remember the last time I actually raced a race and was happy with my time. Even running a 2:01 half in October and a 4:33 full in December were disappointing because they weren’t 1:59 and 4:29. I’ve never been a naturally talented runner, and I never will be. I could quit my job, move to Amsterdam, and train alongside @sifanhassan, and I’d still never become an objectively fast runner. FastER, sure. But still not fast. And sometimes that just really f*%&ing sucks 🤬 The weather was a factor in today’s sh!+show of a race, but I still should have been able to run that first 5k under 28 minutes. I did it last year in JULY. The whole reason I went out for a second 5K today is because the first one was a failure. And the second one was shaping up to be a failure as well, so I pivoted to a single fast mile 🥑 I’m just disappointed in myself and I guess I‘m sharing with y’all in hopes that someone has tips for turning a running slump back around. Or if one of y’all would like to send a virtual pep talk to my inbox, that’s cool too. And furthermore, Susan, I freaking hate when people post about dropping from like a 5-hour marathon to sub-3 like it’s something in the cards for everyone if we work hard enough. It’s not. I’m not a new runner, I’m not a lazy runner, and I’m not a casual runner. I just suck. Tell me I’m not the only one who’s felt this way 😢 #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner
Austin Falls 30k First trail race. 30k, three 10k loops, single track, approximately 400ft of elevation gain each loop, and with river crossing. Not the hardest course out there allowing some faster running. The goal: sub 3hs. The strategy: watch my HR and not let it stay at or above threshold for too long during the first and 2nd lap. The problem: at the starting line, my watch connected with someone’s HR monitor. With 5 minutes of running hard, my HR displayed 110 bpm. 10 min later, HR measurement completely disappeared from the screen. Changed the strategy to RPE (Rate of perceived effort). Had the pleasure to lead the 30k for the first 2 laps. But I knew I went out way too fast. The third loop I was in the struggle bus, and the goal was to finish the 3rd one in 60 min. It all was working as planned, when I got sloppy. I felt dehydrated, started kicking roots and rocks as I ran. Fell a few times. I was paying the price. 2 miles away from the finish line, I was on pace to finish within the time I wanted, when I spaced out, kicked a big log, rolled out of the trail and was there - laying down with full calf cramps and hamstring cramps. A few runners, out of kindness, selflessly stoped to help me out. With their help, took me 4 min to get back to running. Hobbled for a mile and half to the finish line, finishing 4th place overall, 2nd overall male and 1st in my age group. 1st lap: 53 min 2nd lap: 58 min 3rd lap: 1h 6 min 2h 58 min Big thanks to my coach: @marcos_hallack for the preparation and guidance, and also to @ultraexpeditions for putting this event together. Beautiful day out there! Congrats to everyone who went out, and did the damn thing! Go all in!
Best attempt at getting a group shot in the Fiesta De Los Spurs crowd! @spursway Yes, the T-Rex was with us! 😁🦕 We hope y'all had a great time running the parade route!

Thunderstorms made today’s race an absolute flustercuck, but I’m going home with my first 🥑 of the #HalfAsFastChallenge 🥳 Not in the 10K, but in the mile. First of all, I cannot stress to y’all enough how rarely I run a mile under 8 minutes. In 2023, I did it three times total - twice during time trials and once as my fastest mile during the @clevemarathon half. This is my first sub-8 of 2024, so I’m proud of that effort. Oh and it was net uphill, too! But now the story of the soggy, fractured 10K 😬 It was absolutely pouring, with lightning and the threat of hail when I left this morning, but I got no emails saying anything was being changed, so I showed up anyways ⛈️ A lot of people took their stuff to go with the plan of racing virtually later in the day. Then they announced a delay til 9:00. At 8:30 with no end in sight, I made the decision to drop down to the 5K and do it “virtually” (I.e. unofficially) on the race course. I finished the 5k in a disappointing 28:50, just as the real 5K was beginning. So I decided to go back out and try to run a faster second 5K back on the original 10K course which went the opposite direction after the first 5K. About 2/3 of a mile into that, I ran into thigh-high rushing water, and I made my one and only intelligent decision of the day and turned around. Then I decided to at the very least make up the time trial I skipped at yesterday’s group run, and went the original, less dangerous direction and knocked that out. And finally I jogged that same mile back to the start for a total of 6.2 unstructured and unofficial miles 🥴🥴🥴 A huge shoutout to @anthonyrunsforbeer for trying to pace me to victory, but this race was doomed from that first thunderbolt ⚡️ #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner

Just a quick little thing between experiments in the lab. They have a cute little 5K on campus every year for Chromosome 18 research. It's untimed and short, but it's free and literally the path I walk every day at lunch. I was going to be on campus anyways, as I had experiments to catch up on today. I literally grabbed my bib early, confirmed the start time, and ran into the lab to get the first steps done. While my set up acclimated, I had a good hour to run a 5k! Ended up first overall female, only because the lady with the incredibly cute dog ahead of me had to make a "pit stop" around mile 2. (This is also Zoey's favorite thing to do as far from the trash as possible, so definitely can relate!) Then back into the lab to complete my work for the day. No rest for the Wicked! #runhappy #brooksrunningcollective #brooksirl #shokzstar @brooksrunning @shokzusa #5k #runnersofinstagram #runningmakesmehappy #backonmybullshit #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning
“Pickup the Pace” training kickoff - and my first day coaching with @san_antonio_roadrunners - was a success 💙 Registration is still open for another week if anyone else would like to join us! One of my favorite things about SARR is that we truly live the motto “a place for every pace”. Send me a message and I’ll get you the link to sign up. The workout was supposed to be a warmup, mile time trial, and cooldown for 3 miles total, but I just did a lil shakeout mile and cheered everyone else on so I’m good to go for tomorrow’s 10K 😬 Speaking of tomorrow, goal B is anything under an hour, but goal A is now to earn my first 🥑 of the #HalfAsFastChallenge by running under 58:02. Y’all think I can do it? #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner
When I am not running, I am passing out water to my fellow runners. This is all part of being a community. We have the best running communities in San Antonio. I am serving water out in the open field where caterpillars are everywhere! My heart is beating so fast, and my mind is screaming ‘run!!’ But I said ‘YES’ to volunteering and my fellow runners need me. Stay away caterpillars! #runcommunity #runningcommunity #sanantoniorunning #ilovemycommunity

Because I’m simultaneously a mother and a runner, I am, by definition, I’m a #MotherRunner. And yet, I hardly ever mention my kids on this page 🤷🏻♀️ So, “why is that?” y’all may ask. Hint: it’s not because I don’t love them. So here are the top 3 reasons: 1️⃣ First and foremost, it’s to protect their privacy. It’s why I gave them the fake names (Miles & Cadence) and why I don’t show their faces in pictures. Sometimes I lament the fact that there are so few photos of me running as a kid and teenager, but it’s also nice that my childhood is not immortalized on the internet. For every cute moment my parents captured, there is an equal and opposite cringeworthy moment (Newton’s third law of nostalgia), and having the choice of which of these to post as adult is something I want to give my kids 📸 2️⃣ It’s also to protect my own privacy. I post about a lot of my vulnerabilities on this page - issues with body image, pace insecurities, even my past struggles with sobriety - but the intimate moments of motherhood are sacred to me, and something I personally choose not to share. 3️⃣ Finally, it’s because motherhood does not define my running. I was a runner before I became a mom, and I’ll be a runner when my kids are grown. Motherhood (and specifically pregnancy/postpartum) absolutely brings unique challenges to running, but for the sake of this page, I choose to focus on the running itself. There are some great pages out there who focus on the relationship between motherhood and running. I follow a ton of them, and love and identify with their content - I just choose to focus my page in a different direction 🩷 #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner

Just missing 1 kiddo. Unfortunately our double stroller is an older @bobgearus model with both seat straps torn off; which means I can’t run with all my kids.🙁 Hubs is pretty handy though, he is going to try to fix one seat so we can strap in the baby. Do you take all the kids with you or leave them at home? Or are you like me and mix it up?🤪 #legallyarunner #motherrunners #runnerlife #womenrunners #runningcommunity #runnersofinstagram #latinasrunning #bibchat #womenwhorun #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #thewurzrunners #pospartumfitness #postpartumrunning #leagueofgarmin #sanantoniotx #therunlife #postpartumcomeback #wurzerfamilyrunclub #postpartumlife #bobgearus #strollerrunning
🗣️ Calling all middle-of-the-pack runners! 📢 Yesterday I came up with the #HalfAsFastChallenge, which is where by the end of 2024, I attempt to run less than double the women’s world record in 6 distances: the mile, 2 mile, 5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon. Swipe to see the current records and times needed by gender to complete the challenge! If this sounds like something challenging-but-doable for where you’re at in your running journey, I’d love to have some of y’all join me 🤩 The times for all distances except the marathon are slower than my current PRs, but none of them are paces that I can easily achieve, so I figured this would be something fun and motivating! There are six components to complete the challenge, but instead of earning 6 stars like the @wmmajors, we’ll be earning these 6 halved avocado emojis 🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑 Who’s in? 🤩 #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner #rrca #rrcacoach #halfasfast
With the final race in the @scallywompus_events Hill Country Series coming up this Sunday, today’s #TBT is that same race in 2022 🤠 The Siesta Half Marathon is typically held here in San Antonio near the missions, but in 2022, they moved it to Comfort and used the River Road Run course instead 🏞️ This was just over a year after Cadence was born, and my postpartum PR at the time was 2:47. I made my goal to beat that number, and was so incredibly thrilled and proud when I finished this race in 2:33! A year later at a different Scally race, I set my all-time (not just postpartum) PR of 1:57, breaking my 10-year record of 2:03, which is one of my proudest racing moments. But honestly, I think I was just as proud of the 2:33 from this race because it was a sign to me that having a second baby did not mean that I’d never get faster again. It took my body much longer to recover and feel normal again than it did with my first baby, but this race showed me that better days were just around the corner ❤️ For my mommy friends out there, do you celebrate postpartum PRs when getting back into running after having a baby? 👩🏻🍼 Any everyone else, who will I see at Siesta this weekend? #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner #postpartumrunning #runningpostpartum

🏃🏻♂️➡️ Athlete Spotlight - Kennon Riley 🏃🏻♂️ @rileykc37 is one of the first athletes who trusted me to coach them during my pre-certification beta program. He finished his first marathon in December and immediately knew he was capable of more than the result of that race. We started working together in January and focused on keeping hard days hard (simple enough 🙂) and easy days actually easy (not so simple 🙃). The result was a PR of more than 21 minutes on his second marathon this spring! Next up for Kennon: marathon #3 and another big PR, which will be at the @berlinmarathon this September! Kennon is running Berlin by fundraising for our veterans as part of @teamrwb 🇺🇸 He’s currently halfway to his donation commitment & if you’re able to contribute, his link will be in my bio for the next week or so!

There was a time when my daily fitness diet consisted of swimming, biking, running, and weight training. It was the lifestyle of a triathlete and I loved the structure and discipline that inheritly came with it. Nowadays I consider myself retired from the sport, but the imprint it had on my life has not been forgotten. So when the biggest triathlon in Texas rolls around every year @ironmantri, I take notice of the event and the athletes that are participating. Yelina is one of those athletes. Residing in San Antonio, she is a relatively newcomer to the sport and has caught the ‘fever’ of triathlons, having already completed multiple Half IMs and another Full. She is also the co-founder of @sa.running.chicas which is a local running community that focuses on women supporting one another in their running journeys. Their mission is to “Stride with Strength and Inspire with Grace”. Yelina exemplifies that proclamation and I couldn’t be happier for her, wishing her all the best at Ironman Texas, along with all the respect that it deserves as she competes this Saturday, April 27, 2024. GOOOOO Yelina!!! . Photography: @markallenwright . Athlete: @yelisi8 . #sa.running.chicas #ironmantexas #ironmantri #satxphotographer #sanantoniorunning #markallenwright

Guys I am so proud of this one 😭 After last weekend’s 10K DNF and with next weekend’s redemption 10K coming up, the goal of today’s half marathon was to run every other mile fast to prove to myself that I have both the speed and stamina to make it 6.2 miles in under an hour. “Speed” is relative, and while I celebrate every mile I’m able to run under 9 minutes, that’s other people’s easy pace. And when I was showing my splits to a SARR teammate after the race, the miles I referred to as the “slow” ones turned out to be about a minute faster than her race pace. So for me, today, I’m proud of the effort I was able to put forth during my tempo run. For the first time in awhile, I felt genuinely speedy 🏃🏻♀️💨 One week til I put that speed to the real test at the @scallywompus_events Siesta 10K!

Today’s #TBT is to some point around 2002, both my dad & me rocking Oregon gear 🦆 There were a few years as a child that I wanted to eventually attend Oregon for one single reason - my dad. And there were many years when he was an adolescent and wanted to eventually attend Oregon for one single reason - Steve Prefontaine. In the way that as children, Gen Xers idolized 70s sports stars like Roger Staubach, Reggie Jackson or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, my dad grew up with Pre as the gold standard of athleticism. And that reverence was passed down to me. For many years, I had a Pre poster above my bed. I watched the Jared Leto biopic at what was almost definitely too young of an age. Eventually, my dad led my family on the pilgrimage to Eugene to visit Hayward Field & learn more about Prefontaine and a bunch of guys named Bill (its namesake, Hayward, plus Bowerman & Dellinger) 💛💚 And next month, more than 20 years later, my dad and I will be returning to Hayward Field to attend the @preclassic track meet! The women’s 5K world record was broken at this same meet last year, so I can’t wait to see what happens this year! Will any of y’all be in Eugene for this meet? #throwback #throwbackthursday #prelives #prefontaine #preclassic #prefontaineclassic #bowermanmile #oregontrack #oregontrackclub #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner
Here's a picture of me in my Outlaw shirt yesterday. And if you swipe, you'll see a pic of me running said Outlaw race. 😎 Okay, good night, yall!
Y’all remember 2 weeks ago when I couldn’t finish my quarter mile repeats because I went out too fast? Well tonight I tried again and absolutely crushed it! 💪🏼 The plan was an 800m warmup, 6 x 400m at one mile pace (7:30-7:45) with 400m jog between, then another half mile to cooldown. Instead of getting cocky and trying to be a Speedy McSpeedster at sub-7:00 pace, I actually aimed for the target pace 🎯 Apparently the target is there for a reason…who knew? 🤷🏻♀️🙃 Not only was I able to finish all 6 fast 400s more or less in my target pace range, but I didn’t have to walk any of the recovery laps between like I did 2 weeks ago. Double win! I posted a couple of days ago about the string of not-so-great running-adjacent events that have been happening and how I really needed a win. Tonight reminded me that I am capable of doing hard things, and to trust the training. And I know a great race is just around the corner. #speedwork #trackwork #trackworkout #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner

Another welcome to everyone who took on our Olmos "Dam Hill" route for the first time this evening! 😎💪🏼 Amazing work out there! 👏 A big thank you to DRG’er Suzanne! She volunteered at the L’Étape Texas bicycle race for the Fiesta FitFest this past weekend and was able to secure some pallets of GoGo Squeez fruit pouches. We had folks grab a box to take home and some we had on ice for everyone to try post-run. They were a hit! 🍓🍎🍌 We'll see y'all Thursday evening! ...Run Inspired... . . . #DowntownRunGroup #SanAntonio #SanAntonioRunning #Run #Runner #Running #HalfMarathon #Marathon #5k #10k #Triathlon #RunInspired #squeezsquad
Monday morning crew! ⏰️ I won't lie and say that getting up at 4 am on a Monday to run at 5 is easy. It's difficult, but it really sets the week off on the right foot! 😉 And I've yet to hear someone come run with us and regret it. Hope to see yall next week!
I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 3️⃣2️⃣ 🥳 Yes, this is my third birthday post, but since the official law is that you’re allowed one birthday post per decade of life, I’m still within the range of reasonability. Anyways, as many of y’all know, I’ll be running the @berlinmarathon this September by fundraising for @teamforkids. As someone who started running at the age 7 and hasn’t stopped since, I understand how much of an impact this sport can have on children’s lives. Team for Kids brings running and other fitness programs to young people in underserved communities who may otherwise not have access to such a healthy and positive outlet. To celebrate 32 years of life, I set out to find 32 people to donate to this cause 💰 Since the beginning of April, 24 people have donated, raising $1,598 toward my $2,620 commitment. If you’ve considered donating, today is the day to do so! The link 🔗 to donate is in my bio and every tiny bit is incredibly appreciated! Normally scheduled programming (i.e. terrible photos of faces I make while running) will resume tomorrow, and I promise you won’t have to hear about my birthday again until next April! TL;DR: birthday today, donate please #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner
I celebrated my 31st birthday last year by running the Boston Marathon, and it was everything I hoped it would be 🦄 The seven months that followed were pretty great, but ever since mid-November or so, I feel like my running just can’t catch a break. I ran a huge PR at Rock n Roll SA in December, but the chip malfunctioned and my official result is a DNF. In February, I ended up with strep throat 2 days before the Austin Marathon, so I didn’t even start. I tried to make up for it in March by running the Alamo Marathon, but I crashed, burned, and finished 21 minutes slower than my goal. And just 3 days ago, I got sick before and during my first attempt at racing a 10k and had to drop out. So even though 31 started on a high note, it’s ending on a low one 😢 But tomorrow, I turn 32, and it’s the first page of a new chapter 🎂 32 will be my year. It’ll be the year I run both Berlin and NYC. It will be the year I start coaching with @san_antonio_roadrunners. It will be the year that I finally break 4:30 in the full. And maybe it’ll even be the year that I finally disentangle the joy of running from the results of a race. All of that is my long-winded way of saying - 32, I’m ready for you. LFG! #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner #bostonmarathon #bostonmarathon127 #32ndbirthday
It was a hot and sunny one in Boston today. It wasn’t a day for a PB, but hubs will take a 2:51:18. Two lessons learned: 1. He didn’t need to take the bus at 6:45 am. He hated sitting around for 2 hrs. 2. The kids and I didn’t need to get to Hereford at 8 am (despite everyone telling me to). Yes, the kids and I were ready to cheer at 8 am. Hubs didn’t even start running until 10. Race weekend recap coming soon. Did we have a good time in Boston? You will have to wait to find out. 😝@bostonmarathon #legallyarunner #motherrunners #runner #laufen #correr #womenrunners #instarunners #runningcommunity #runnersofinstagram #latinasrunning #bibchat #womenwhorun #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #thewurzrunners #pospartumfitness #postpartumrunning #leagueofgarmin #sanantoniotx #run #intraining #marathoner #running #therunlife #postpartumcomeback #wurzerfamilyrunclub #marathonmonday #bostonmarathon #bostonrunning #postpartumlife
I didn't know I was running The Outlaw 10k til a few days before! So this was a nice surprise. 😄 Thank you to @mizunoovertexas 🤠 & @irun_texas for the amazing opportunity to run this race along with all the cool Mizuno swag we received. Including a new pair of shoes! We had so much fun out there! The course and Texas weather were beautiful! Apparently, I even placed 3rd in my AG but didn't stay for awards cause I never place. 🤷🏽♀️ 😂 Thank you for joining me, Amber! And for the cool mid-race pic! 📸🏃🏽♀️ Can't wait to do this again! 📍Running on Native lands, always.
Who needs the Boston Marathon when you can have Boston cream pie instead? 🤤 #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner
Marathon Monday tomororrow!!!!! I’m trying to be on Hereford/near Tracksmith tomorrow. I’m hoping to catch elites and will do my best to get there early. I’ll have to just wing it because I will be by myself with the three lil monsters. 😝 Will you be at the @bostonmarathon cheering? #legallyarunner #motherrunners #runner #laufen #correr #womenrunners #instarunners #runningcommunity #runnersofinstagram #latinasrunning #bibchat #womenwhorun #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #thewurzrunners #pospartumfitness #postpartumrunning #leagueofgarmin #sanantoniotx #run #intraining #marathoner #running #therunlife #postpartumcomeback #wurzerfamilyrunclub #marathonmonday #bostonmarathon #bostonrunning #postpartumlife
Why does it hurt? - Homeostasis [that’s where your body wants to be] In order to force physiological adaptations, you need to push the body to do things outside of its limits- to a certain degree. Too much can be detrimental Too little might not produce any results. The perfect balance is a mix of science and art. Then you have to be willing to get uncomfortable. [get comfortable being uncomfortable] Suffering when you need to suffer is REQUIRED. Too much suffering, is probably counterproductive. [The difference between the poison and the remedy is the dosage ] Find your right dosage of discomfort, Get comfortable being uncomfortable, Make peace with the boredom of training, And keep in mind that results come from long term commitment to the process. Be committed, Go all in. #runnersofinstagram #goallin #rawnutrition
Fiesta FitFest 10K Run 🏃🏼♀️✅🎉 I think it’s my first official 10K🙈 it wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows (as if it ever is) but I sure had fun 😊 this is always such a great race! 👟 #fiestafitfest #sanantoniorunning #runnergirls #raceday #10krun #satx #satxrunners #hybridathlete @sa_sports84
did my first race since high school and damn it felt good. thank you @got_the_runs11 for signing us up and being the best hype man. 🤘🏼 now time to up these numbers and start planning for a 15k #sanantonio #sanantoniorunning #runsa #running #runner #10k #10km #6mile
Hit a lil fiesta 10K this morning, happy with my pace, and it’s a good feeling knowing now that I can push stronger and faster. Proud of @em_hohvart for crushing her first race 🤘🏽. My second race of the year down, hitting another half marathon in two weeks. #nikerunning #cantstopwontstop #texasrunning #sanantoniorunning @sauconyracing @saucony @depth_beforedishonor_squatco @killcrew @rnnr.co @feetures @oofos @sa_sports84
Goals: Pain Free and Have Fun. - Accomplished I PR'ed at FitFest last year, but after the extremely slow recovery I've been through since December, I decided not to push it. I just wanted to FEEL GOOD. So I slid into my tempo pace and just cruised. It helped that the route is one I take all the time for longer runs. I knew that it would be mildly downhill for the first half and an almost undetectable incline back to the start. Can I say this race felt GOOD? I wasn't going for time at all, I just wanted to cruise in my "happy zone" where the serotonins and dopamines flow. I will recover for a few days to make sure my hip stays happy. Spending lots more time now on strength and stability to keep my recovery going and being injury free in the future. It's not as fun as running but I've learned my lesson! It feels good to race again ❤️ #runhappy #FiestaFitFest @sa_sports84 #brooksrunningcollective #brooksirl #texasrunner #runnersofinstagram #sanantoniorunning #runlikeagirl @brooksrunning #run #runningismytherapy #running
Did I just take a DNF on a 10K? Does a bear $h!+ in the woods? 🐻🌳💩 Much like that bear, I had to exit the trail twice during this race. After the second time I decided to call it a day and have my dad come pick me up. This was not the race to push through what felt like cholera just to say I finished. I shouldn’t have started this race in the first place. I knew that when I woke up and I knew that at the starting line. But I thought I could tough it out and come home with a PR. The silver lining was that I was on pace to finish under an hour and I’m confident I can do so when I try again at the @scallywompus_events Fiesta Siesta 10k at the end of the month 💪🏼 #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner
Yesterday's run with @brookscityrunning at their new location! Emory Oaks trailhead is just a few minutes from my house. 🙌🏽 Love all the shade but not all the bugs. 😂 Amber & I are running the Outlaw 10k tomorrow morning, and I'm excited since it was a last-minute sign up! I won a giveaway and talked her into joining me as my plus 1. 😁 Wish us luck! ✌🏽

Have a great weekend! ...Run Inspired... . . . #DowntownRunGroup #SanAntonio #SanAntonioRunning #Run #Runner #Running #HalfMarathon #Marathon #5k #10k #Triathlon #RunInspired
Boston holds a special place in my heart for the met people and the journey taken and it is in that spirit that I wanted to celebrate and commemorate with a few locals in the best way I know how…using my photography to showcase them. Jackie, Paul, and Ariana knocked the photoshoot out of the park and there are so many good images to choose from. May your feet be fleet and your journeys well-contented my friends as each of you toe the start line this coming Monday, April 15th, 2024. Cheering from SA! . Photography: @markallenwright .

Swim-Bike-Run 🏊🏽♂️ 🚴 🏃🏻♂️ [it’s been a minute] Triathlon isn’t 3 sports, Triathlon is A sport where you have to SwimBikeRun. You don’t get to sit down, drink a coffee, watch your phone and then restart. The time starts and you get in the water and stops when you finish the run. 2022 and 2023 I got to explore this sport and I can’t wait to be back at it. Find something you’re not good at it, Dive into it, Learn as much as you can, don’t let the judgement and criticism of others get into your head. Go all in. #goallin
Sometime I wish I was more of a data nerd, because then I would know how many miles this @bobgearus stroller had on it. I threw out some baby items today and I cried when they got picked up. I wish time would slow down. Oh well, just gotta keep on moving…3 easy stroller miles today. I’m looking forward to Boston and taking it easy until we get back. #legallyarunner #motherrunners #runner #laufen #correr #womenrunners #instarunners #runningcommunity #runnersofinstagram #latinasrunning #bibchat #womenwhorun #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #thewurzrunners #pospartumfitness #postpartumrunning #leagueofgarmin #sanantoniotx #run #intraining #marathoner #running #therunlife #postpartumcomeback #wurzerfamilyrunclub #bobgearus #strollerrunning #postpartumlife
Y’all are probably getting @bostonmarathon fatigue, so I apologize in advance for adding to it…but today’s #TBT is from the very start of last year’s race 🦄 April 17, 2023 was a chilly and wet day. I got off the bus at Athlete’s Village in Hopkinton and it was steadily raining and in the 40s which, for a Texan, is pretty damn cold. Luckily I brought throwaway sweats and this incredibly fashionable poncho I got at the expo 👍🏼 The tents were incredibly crowded, but that helped with the temperature situation, and people from the faster waves left behind plastic and Mylar blankets to sit on instead of directly into a puddle. So that was nice. It’s hard to describe exactly how I was feeling in Hopkinton. It was a combination of incredibly nervous for the race itself, insanely intimidated by all the super fast athletes, and beyond excited to have the most amazing experience of my running career. They finally called the charity wave and i met up with @theusualsuspekt to walk to the actual start line. I didn’t take off my sweats and poncho until the last second, so i ended up being one of the very last runners across the start line 😂 4 hours and 44 minutes later, i crossed the finish line on Boylston absolutely beaming 🤩 Which of yall is running Boston this year? Any charity runners? #throwback #throwbackthursday #bostonmarathon127 #bostonmarathon #bostonmarathon2023 #runtexas #runsatx #runsanantonio #texasrunner #sanantoniorunning #momswhorun #motherrunner #sarr #sanantonioroadrunners #brooksrunningcollective #brookspartner

This background seemed fitting for yesterday's group pic since it was eclipse day! 🌘 The clouds didn't allow us to see the eclipse, but it was pretty cool when it got super dark mid-day. The birds seemed confused and started singing like it was the morning when the light returned. Don't forget we meet at 5 am every Monday in the parking lot of Brackenridge High School!
