Fun-Run-A-Rama! Hamilton Vein Center is Off to the Races
It’s cooling off, which means running season is heating up!
Hittin’ the pavement is one of our fave pastimes at HVC, and we are pumped that it’s finally feeling fall-ish. All of us are reporting “faster” times suddenly 😆
Luckily, there are plenty of fun runs in the area to keep us jazzed. We encourage all of our patients to get out and run/walk/skip – whatever your preferred mode of movement to keep you healthy and your circulatory system happy.
Here are 3 months of Fun Runs being held in the Houston area – each one is themed and a great way to enjoy this festive time of year. Let us know on our Facebook page if you’re running in any of them – we want to hear how it goes!

That list should keep you busy the next three months. We also have a Hamilton Vein Center group training for the Houston Marathon in January. We’ll hear from them soon when we check in and see how the training’s going. Whatever you’re running or walking – for fun or for distance – let us know how you’re doing. Send us a message on our Facebook page or comment to this post. We’d love to hear from you!
As much as we love running, we want everyone to feel good while they’re doing it. So if you notice your legs are feeling tired, achy, painful or they are swelling and not feeling right – come in and let us take a look with a thorough exam and ultrasound. It might be more than just “tired muscles” causing your discomfort. Undiagnosed vein disease affects a lot of runners – we can fix that for you and get you back up and running in no time. Call 281-565-0033 to schedule.
