Virtual Valentine's Day 5k and 10k - If interested please post

[IMGONNABE40!]

Got my 10k done on the TM. 1:19:38. I watched Moonstruck during my workout. DH came in and cheered me on at the start and at the finish.

Thanks so much for organizing this! I logged in my 5k yesterday afternoon actually, since we had snow and 30 mph winds today. Yesterday was 36 and not too bad. My time was 37:19, I felt pretty good since I haven't run that far in awhile! I'll be ready for the next virtual race!

Good going, everyone!!

I crossed the 10K finish line in 96 minutes and then continued on to get my 10 miles done for training for the Mardi Gras half in two weeks!

Happy, healthy Valentine's Day!!

Thanks for getting this together.

Thanks for organizing this, Tricia!

Just finished my 5K on the treadmill. 38:50. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

I did an actual 5K yesterday, but did not know if that would count or not, not being on actual Valentine's Day. Got a PR of 27:13, and the temp was probably about 12º by race time. 10º when I left the house!

Tonight I did 10K on the TM. Time: 1:09:10. It was not my best showing, given:

1. It was on my TM and I trust it as I can throw it.
2. PR yesterday
3. A couple of bathroom breaks - I was timing this on my watch left the clock running, as is right in a race!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I got my 10k in outside but was freezing by the end of it. My time was 1:09:45.

Okay, did my 10k in 1:35. Not great, but hopefully good enough for the Princess. Plus, that was the longest I've ever walked in my life!

Great job everyone!

Thanks for doign this Tricia! I woudl nto have gotten out of the house without it!

I must admit that I changed to a 5K. Here's teh better part of teh path.

It was like runnign on beach sand. My stblization muscles wer eout of practice adn this was supposed to be a short week, so I decided not to push. My legs were still screaming after. Sad, as those were the conditions we did our 18-miler in last year. how soon we lose it.

Still, it was nice to think of others being out there with us virtually.

5k - 41:44

It's been a tough month for me (my daughter has been having some mysterious health issues, and it's been very distracting), so I was particularly grateful for the motivation to get off my tush and go running yesterday! I downgraded to a 5K, since it was only the second run I've done since the Marathon (not to mention the 3 feet of snow on the ground here!), but it was a lot of fun and felt great. My time was 36:55.

Congratulations to everyone who got out there!

Thank you so much, Tracy! I'm really glad I got to be a part of this. St. Patrick's Day, anyone??

I had to settle for my 10K on the treadmill as we had family visiting all weekend and my chances to escape were slim. I ran it in 1:04:14. Thanks so much for organizing this. I'm definitely up for the next holiday virtual run.

I ended up doing the 5k. Was supposed to do 8 miles according to my schedule, but stopped at 4.5. I can't tell you what my time was since I forgot to even check. Suffering from the crud that I got from DD, I was struggling with my breathing. Oh well, I did it. And that was after my 4 mile race on Sat, so I'm happy with that!

Great job WISH team!

Hey folks, I'm posting a bit late. Streets here are still pretty unplowed and dangerous, not to mention the sidewalks--thank goodness I pay city taxes, right? --so I took my 5K to a TM. Not spectacular, as it's harder for me to be motivated on those things. I zoned out on the time, exactly, but somewhere between 37 and 38.

Thanks for putting this together, Tricia! I don't think I would have been motivated at all, except for my lovely WISH family!

Ok, I never officially signed up for this, but I did get out and do it. We had a local race on Sunday. It was a 2 mile and a 4 mile. When you add up both of my times I did it in 1:20:05. Not fast, but not bad for a gal who hasn't run at all in two weeks due to life getting in the way. Thanks for encouraging us to do this Tricia. I almost backed out, but didn't want to let my WISH family down, and it felt good to get out and do it, since life has been a little crazy lately.

Hope everyone had a good time! When's the next one?

I just got home, but I had a good time running on Valentine's day. I did a half marathon, and I don't know which 10K to choose, but I PRed my half - at 2:45, which is about a 12:30 min mile. I was thinking about the WISHers out there running when I started to run out of energy. Thanks!

 

[Lexxiefern]

Sorry I forgot to check in after the virtual race. Instead of a 10k I ended up doing a 10 miler. I have a half this weekend and needed a decent run.

Good job everyone!

Well done everyone- especially those of you who weren't initially registered!

I'm very sorry that I have to admit I didn't manage to get my run in whilst in Disneyland Paris... as my amazing boyfriend proposed!!!!! On the balcony of the castle!!!!! We got engaged and had too much fun smiling and playing in Disney to hit the treadmill Promise i'll do the next one
