      Its a virtual race, but we each paid our $30 (all to the United Way) and we are really going to run it on a real course, with real timing and real aid stations, just the finisher medals will be imaginary.  Cool

        We'll all virtually support you and cheer you on.  Your running group is doing a good thing with this event.  Just being a part of it and supporting it will likely be more satisfying than "another medal".

          The traffic control will be imaginary, so hopefully I won't be flattened by a car when we 'Frogger' across the roads.  Big grin

              Nice job, Ilene! That all sounds pretty real to me.

               

              Ran a benefit 5K Monday for special-needs kids. The organizers' inconsistent traffic control made me a little nervous....some of the kids participating can be a little unpredictable, and we had to share a stretch of road with traffic. But everything worked out.

               

              More important: handmade winners' plaques created by the kids themselves! THIS was super cool and truly memorable. Better than any medal.

                  Of course, shortly after I register I find out it will be colder with the possibility of snow. Roll eyes

                   

                  23:33

                   

                  Short of my goal, but still a 32 second PR and good enough for 1AG. There was snow and ice on the ground, so it wasn't the best footing. There was also a bit of hill in the middle of the course and little bit of a hill toward the end. The course may have been a tad short, but I'll take it.

                    I ran 18:18 for my 5,000 this morning.  Pretty happy in that I'm way ahead of where I was last year at this time (ran 18:44 at this same race last yar).  Onward!

                                WhoDat, 32sec PRs in the cold and snow are nothing to sneeze at.  Keep yourself healthy and I see sub-22 this year.
