Virtual Race Weekend!!!

This Sunday, my only request was to be able to run my virtual races and that I did!  The weather was beautiful and not far into my run I had take off my shirt and was running in a tank and capris.  Now to make it even more glorious, the little nugget decided to play nice and let Mommy feel normal again (well almost)!! 

As I said, I did a 10k which was actually for TWO virtual races!!  The first was the Westminster Women's Classic which they opened up as a virtual race.  We got a race shirt and a bib!!! 

This 10k was also for the fabulous and amazing Momma in Hawaii at Life as a Running Mom! Seriously she gets to run in paradise all the time!!!  She was hosting her Sweat Pink with Me Virtual race.

 I chose the 10k knowing I had a busy weekend on tap and I'm so glad I did!  I was only gone an hour and was able to cuddle with my daughter and get a big sweaty hug from her without having to worry about time and beating bridge traffic (a lovely problem living on Cape Cod....can you sense the sarcasm?)

Mile 1 of my runs lately have been 50% mental and 50% physical....like I spend the mile convincing my body that this is what it really wants to be doing!!  Once I got warmed up, I was loving it!  At my new slower speed, I am able to take in the sights a little more and am realizing that when we move I am really going to miss my trusty route!  This is a couple pics from one of my favorite down and up hills to one of the many hidden beaches!

Going down to the beach...

...and back up the hill (looking down is way more fun!)

I was proud of myself finishing in 1:01:59 since I have been feeling like a turtle lately.  I keep reminding myself that my speed isn't gone forever....it's just taking a break for the moment!!  More than anything I felt great and am getting excited for my half next weekend!!  When I got home I had this waiting for me!!
