Winter Runnerland

I signed up for the Moms Run This Town Winter Runnerland 10K. It's a virtual run, but I am running out of time since it ends 1/31.  Time to runny run runnnnn.

I will attempt to make this post less boring by providing pics from some of my previous non-virtual races.

My run picture is from mile 24ish of a run and I think I was groaning out load with every step. 

A Virtual Run For Real Cupcakes

Tonight Hunter, Wyatt, and I ran The Cupcake Classic 2012, a virtual 5K.  Our Moms Run This Town chapter leader baked funfetti cupcakes with pink frosting.  Delicious! I ate one.  Then I grabbed another one "for Wyatt".  He only ate a crumb or two so I HAD to finish his. Before running, we had this Greek Salad with Chicken for dinner and I loved it. You should try this recipe.  Easy peasie too.

I used this virtual 5K as my hard training run, so I allowed my heart rate to go to the high 160s and ran 3.75 miles.  My pace was 11:24 min/mile.  

Tomorrow, Wyatt and I are Making Strides Against Breast Cancer by participating in our local walk.  We will be walking 3 miles...with a lotta ladies wearing pink.  I bought a pink shirt from Target.   I also did a practice session with pink hair chalk.   So easy, even for someone like me!  Happy weekend to everybody. 

Virtual 5K Complete

I was able to complete my first virtual race.  I participated in the Welcome to Summer Virtual Run 5K. We braved Tropical Depression Debby for this one.

Distance: 3.1 Miles
Time: 35:10
Pace :11:20
Average Heart Rate: 172 (I'm serious)
Winner: Wyatt by a stroller length

To anyone else participating, there is only one day left!  Now I am off to enjoy the rest of the weekend and brag about my not awesome pace.

My First Virtual Run

I signed up for my first virtual run!  I know....I am late to the game, but better late than never.  Need more information about what a virtual run is?  Read this. To summarize, you pledge to run a certain distance by a certain date.  It is a great idea because there is no race day or starting time so this offers flexibility for someone such as a WFHM. 

I signed up for the Welcome to Summer Virtual Run 5K.  This one is free.  There are prizes.  You should sign up too.

Is anybody else registered for other virtual runs?  I would love to sign up for more.
