Log Off, Shut Down Virtual Race Re-Cap
Disclosure: ?As a Gone For a Run Ambassador, I was given free entry to this virtual race.
Time is in short supply around here.
Baseball, y’all, is about to do me in. ?In case you missed my whining on Facebook and Instagram (oh?heck-?and Twitter!) we’ve been sucked into the Little League schedule from hell. ?Three kids: three games a week plus practices. ?You do the math.
Oy.
When Gone For a Run asked if I wanted to participate in the Virtual Log Off, Shut Down, Go Run?my first thought was totally of Sweet Brown.
I mean- I was overloaded with school projects for the kids, baseball games and practices 6 nights a week, preparing for a blog conference away from my family, and a visit from my in-laws. ? ALL of these by themselves were good things. ?but put it all together and I was crying UNCLE!
However- that’s the beauty of the virtual race. ?You pick the time, you do the miles.
And Lord knows I needed a bit of stress relief with all we had going on here.
Because of- you guessed it– TIME- I had to run my race inside on the treadmill while my daughter took her nap.
Hey, multitasking is a skill, yo!
I had laundry drying, dishes washing, baby napping, and some Outlander to catch up on.
Let’s do this.
You can see how dusty my treadmill is. ?Poor old girl hasn’t had much use of late.
But all that changes since the temps are looking like this lately:
Crank up the AC and let’s do this!
It wasn’t a very fast run.
I completed averaging 15 minute miles with 2 potty stops and one dash upstairs to change out the laundry.
But I was proud of the effort that went into this one since it’s the longest I’ve run… in a very long time.
Oh boy.
The bling and the swag were nice for this race. The shirt fits great and – well- matched my shoes. ?Score.
I’m such a girl, I know.
I loved having something to encourage my efforts and think a few virtuals here and there might be the best way to get me through the summer.
Do you like virtual runs? ?Know of any supporting a good cause you can share with me?
