here are the details:
you can choose any day next week to do your virtual run.
you can run, jog, walk or walk/jog. whatever floats your boat.
i’ll be running a 5K distance and i’m going to try hard to set a new PR.
i’ll be running my virtual race on friday, february 17.
the post for you to link up with will be up by mid-afternoon on that day.
on friday, february 17.
you need to leave a comment with a link to either a blog post about the run or a link to daily mile or some other fitness tracker like that.
i will leave the post open for entries through that weekend and then randomly choose a winner the following monday. the winner will win a lovely . . . . giftcard to amazon.com.
and guess what?
i went and whipped up some race bibs for all of us!
i know, right?
over the top? too much?
it’s in my nature.
you know what would be really fun?
if you took a picture of yourself or had someone else take a picture of you with your race bib on.
we could all be goobers together. i much prefer being a goober together versus being a goober solo.
click on the link above the picture, and it will take you to a place to download it.
i think.
i only half-way know what i’m doing.
well, maybe that’s stretching it.
simple.
and done.
one thing before i forget.
when you print the race bib, make sure you choose none for page scaling. if you choose fit to printable area {or something like that}, it will print out huge and aliens will be able to see it from space.
p.s. this is gonna be fun, y’all.
We have a field trip that day, so it will have to be an evening run. i’m hoping my son will be able to do it with me. We’ll see. Fingers crossed.

Cute Cute!
I’m not the most creative blogger{ie: I like prompts}, so I’m happy to have something to talk about this week! Do you know what time it will close? I plan to do my long run(being somewhere between 6.5-8 miles) on Sunday, and would love to talk about it! Good luck on your 5k “race”…when I was half/marathon training, I had these in my schedule…and never did them. Congrats to you!

I haven’t actually run distances since 9th grade track. I didn’t take athletics in the morning, but I had cheerleading at the end of the day. Basketball season was over, and so I was the. only. girl. who ran with the boys’ track team. Fond memories. But I digress . . .
My neighborhood is all hills—we live at the bottom of a big one!—but last year I worked in little bits of jogging on my walks. This 30 Day Shred workout should have me in shape to run now, but I want to finish my 30 days before I try anything else. Today will be day 23, 3rd day at the final level, level 3.
You inspire me!
