The Luck O' The IWISH! St. Patrick's Day Virtual 5K & 10K

[WDWFLgal]

Sounds like fun! Count me in for a 10K. It just so happens that I purchased a short sleeve under armour compression shirt closely resembling WISH green just perfect for the occasion.

Count me in for the 10k!

Count me in for the 5K. This week is a cut back week and I'm scheduled to do 4 miles over the weekend. If the weather's nice though I might stretch it to a 10K.

I'll sign up for the 5K - but I'm guessing with the torrential rains that are predicted this weekend, it'll be a treadmill 5K

Karin~ I hope you have a dry window when you can head outside!
You've got the 10K graphic in your sig. so that's why I had put you on the 10K list at first..I switched you to the 5K one.

Sign me up! I'll do a 10km on March 15th. Fun idea!

 

[Bookwood]

I guess I'll actually do the 10K today- since I'm doing a 7 mile training run anyway!

Today the racing begins! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! Make sure you come back and let us know that you got it done (posting your time is up to you)!

If you want to get in the spirit you could get a pair of these:

And if you need a little motivation, you could pretend this guy is chasing you, lol:

The shoes are cute, the leprechaun, scary. I think I might be able to outrun him, though!

I'm heading out for my real/virtual 5K event. I'm pacing with a friend who wants to hit a certain pace, so hopefully after the half last weekend, it's not going to be too much. He runs on a treadmill so doesn't really know how fast is realistic for him, I think. It's gray and chilly out, but I'm putting on the WISH green - how could I not??? Good luck everyone who is racing today!

That wee leprechaun looks like he might have had 1 guiness too many!
Good luck everyone.

I forgot to post that I am in for this. I will do the 5K and I will do it on March 16th. As I am off that day from work. Can't do it on the 17th.

Cute sneakers Liz
So I guess I'm the first one to report. I completed my 5K in 34:30 (and then kept running to get my 4 miles in.) Unfortunately it's raining so it was on the treadmill, but it was still fun doing it Good luck to everyone else

Once you've completed your race, your name magically turns GREEN on the list!

 

[dismagiclover]

That green looks great

My 10k is done. My time is 77:34 which I am pretty pleased since for the last week I had a problem with my sciatic.
Love the shoes by the way. And thanks for organizing this virtual race.

I'm done too! My 10K was 1:14.55, which I'm happy with! I too continued on to finish my 7 miles in 1:24.27, it's raining out so it was indoors at the Y. Wish I Could have gotten out but it'll happen eventually. Have a great weekend- and everyone enjoy your runs.

10K for me in 1:20:16

DH and I finished our 10Ks:

Dennis -- 57 minutes
Maria -- 70 minutes (a new PR for me!)

This is fun, who knew a virtual race could be so enjoyable?!
