Thanks so much for the "Atta Girl" encouragement!! I really do appreciate it!!
What is a virtual 5k? How do you "run/walk" on a computer?
Would I still be able to lace up my new blue Nike "Lamarrs" and put rubber to the road??????
I just starting running too and my sister and I have completed several virtual 5k runs. Being in PA in the winter, we tend to do ours on the treadmill, but you definitely can run outside - they say "run your favorite course". The ones I did we're at fortheloveofthekids.com and you get a bib and t-shirt prior to the run, then a very nice medal after all the results are posted. Their next run is in July ( I think) then they do the holiday hustle (Halloween, Thanksgiving, and New Year's) and Valentine's Day. Just did the Valentine's 5k last week on my treadmill - finished at 39:02!! My goal is to always finish, no matter how long it takes me... And one day, I am going to run the Disney Princes Half Marathon!
Great job on your accomplishment. The fact that you ran and completed the 5k is awesome!!!
