That's right! I'll be sweating my thorns off this Saturday in my very first official virtual race. What is a virtual race? Well, remember when I ran a 5K the morning of Relay and had this beautiful pic taken?
Don't you just LOVE the purple crown!!?? I do!! I mean seriously...when do you have the opportunity to wear something like this in public?? I couldn't attend my running club's Birthday 5K so I did it on my own at the same time, but 30 miles away.
So now this is an official virtual race. Everyone is running on their own in their little corner of the world. There will be people from across the globe running on the same day just to celebrate being healthy and the ability to run. Pretty cool. Plus, there are some seriously great prizes. A fellow blogger, "The Boring Runner" is in hosting it.
Check it out and you can join me (virtually) ;)
I just threw my hat in the ring, though I'll be running closer to a 10k since Saturday's are my "long run" day. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this as I am always ready for a virtual 5k. :)
YAY! So glad you will be joining in the 5K! Way to go with the 10K! Good luck :)
