Welcome to Summer Virtual Run Race Report

This past week I was able to do one of my favorite things....run a virtual race!!  Toni over at Running, Loving, Living hosted this awesome virtual run to help kick off summer....running and summer two of my favorite things!!  I unfortunately don't have a pic with the bib since we're moving this week and well....to be frank...I'm not completely certain where my printer is!  Of course I signed up for both....you know me, if you put a challenge in front of me I'll take it!

10K
I wore Toni's Bondi Band to represent!
I ran the 10k first at the beginning of the week....good thing summer decided to hit Massachusetts with a vengence bringing in both heat and humidity.  I carried lots of water and ran/walked my way through the 6.2 miles!! 

5k
I used a local 5k that I had signed up for to count for the virtual 5k.  I'm a teacher in this town so it was a no brainer to run this race since a lot of the proceeds went toward programs for kids in the community.  I grabbed my trusty running slave driver buddy and headed down Cape to the race. 
Sporting her Nike Frees....yes she wore them because they are her "fast shoes"
It had rained the night before so a lot of the heat had broken but boy the humidity didn't!!  I'm looking forward to running this race again next year sans baby bump...well organized and a beautiful course!  Em was great but was quick to bark when I began walking breaks...."Run Mommy!  They're getting away!"  She hopped out close to the finish so she could run across the finish line.  It was priceless when she raised her hand in the air and said, "Mommy we won!" 
Thanks to Toni for hosting this great virtual run!!!

  2. Wow, good for you for signing up to do the two virtual races. I think I have signed up for a couple of virtual races, but I never seem to get around to doing them. I guess I should mark those as DNS, right? Btw, I LOVE your Running for Two shirt. That is awesome. I never managed to run for long in either of my pregnancies - too uncomfortable, so I find it wonderful that you are doing it. Congrats on your two races!
