Virtual Races are all the rage now that most in-person races are no more at the moment. I’m always looking for ways to stay motivated to get out and exercise and to keep my training up.
On October 21, 2020, I met up with my best running bud, Toni, and we set out on a circle loop in a new-to-me running area. We began our run at one of the pubic libraries and headed towards a fancy schmancy neighborhood that I did not know existed. Seriously, this neighborhood was nice! It had a running path instead of sidewalks, beautiful tree lined streets with leaves starting to turn a bright and festive color, and huge houses that actually have space in between them!
We started our run pretty late – 6:00pm – and we knew it would get a bit dark as we were running. Luckily, I brought my handy dandy headlamp to light our way as we ran.
The moon and stars starting to come out and it was making for a great run! The weather was perfect, the view was beautiful, and the company was great 🙂
Of course, we needed a leaf shoe-fie!
We certainly felt like a Wonder Woman after our run – there were some nasty hills to climb in the last mile or so! I didn’t look at the elevation gain before planning my loop – oops! A surprise – we WERE Wonder Women! Our time was 1:19:18 – pretty fast for the hills!
This was a fun race and came with some really quality swag – an impressive medal, a long sleeve pullover, a tote bag, and wrist cuffs! I would definitely run another race with this race company!
