Adrienne Langelier hasn't yet met a running surface that she doesn't like.
After winning the Surfside Beach Marathon in February and leading the Battling Bloggers of the Texas Republic during the Texas Independence Relay, the 25-year-old Sam Houston State graduate student even found the Huntsville State Park trails to her liking to win the 16th annual Hog's Hunt 25K in 1:57:46, defeating the next closest female by almost four minutes.
40-year-old Tommy Stunz ran with his 14-year-old son, Jakeb, as they finished the 25K together in 2:30:51.
Katy Lampson, 32, and Karen Felicidario, 42, set distance PRs while challenging the Hog's Hunt 50K for finishing times of 5:49:30 and 6:39:37, respectively. Lampson was 42nd out of a field of 92. Ken Johnson, 66, completed his 13th 50K in 7:47:36 to finish Roger Soler's Texas Marathon Challenge.
In Dallas, on Sunday, April 6, Norman Langwell, Jr., 36, barely missed breaking the 4-hour mark - 4:00:21 - in his fourth career marathon at the Big-D Texas Marathon.
New Battling Blogger team member John Maloney, 45, and David Smart, 47, tried out the new Muddy Trails 5K in The Woodlands giving the Team some shorter distance races to balance things out.
Maloney was impressive as he won the 45-49 age group in a time of 21:24 as Smart continued his steady running with a fourth place age group finish of 23:31. (John's son, Tanner, finished the course in 22:00.)
Erin Foley, 33, continued to work towards her return to competitive road racing with a fifth place age group showing at the Chevron Bellaire Trolley Run 5K, which is co-hosted by the running club she belongs to - the Al Lawrence Running Club.
Even though Langwell missed breaking four hours, it was a PR for him; however, it wasn't the only one of the weekend as 45-year-old Becky Spaulding shined on Sunday, April 6 at the Run For the Rose 5K.
Spaulding, who had to drop at the 43-mile mark of this year's Rocky Raccoon 50-Miler, posted a time of 26:29.8.
"It was one of those days when the moon and stars were perfectly aligned," she remarked. "I'm working hard on getting my time down so I'll be ready for next year's TIR."
And then there was the team's stubborn leader, 41-year-old Jon Walk.
He checked off states No. 21 and No. 22 in half marathons with visits to Abilene, Kansas and St. Louis, Missouri for the Eisenhower Half Marathon and the Go! St. Louis Half Marathon.
He posted times of 2:20:10 and 2:27:00 in the weekend's back-to-back effort.
