Chasing Coastlines & Small Town Charm: Early Spring Miles Recap

The last few weeks were a beautiful blend of family time, baseball games, and running adventures. We headed down to Corpus Christi, Texas, to visit my daughter and catch our son’s baseball games—a double win in my book. Between cheering from the bleachers and getting some concession stand snacks to making time for some crab legs, conversation, and quality time with my girl—does it get any better?

Of course, I packed my running shoes. There's something about jogging along the coastline that clears my head and fills my heart. Wind in my hair, water on one side, wide open sky—Corpus did not disappoint.

Next up? Round Top, Texas. A totally different vibe, but just as delightful. I joined friends for a girls’ getaway to celebrate a fabulous 50th birthday. We stayed in a boutique hotel tucked just close enough to the action, but quiet enough to feel like a retreat. Between charming shops, antiques galore, and laughter, I squeezed in a run through the quaint town. There’s nothing quite like exploring a new place with fresh legs and good friends nearby.

Two weekends. Two towns. Two very different but equally special running backdrops. That’s the beauty of “on the run”—you never know what the road will bring.
