Yesterday was my scheduled 10 miler for marathon training - but it was also my friend, Leslie's, Kickin' Asphalt Cupid Virtual 5k. I fully know that 10 miles is not a 5k, but running more is always better. Right?
If you are ever looking for a race you never need to go far. Just check out Kickin' Asphalt. Those girls have a ton of virtual races lined up.
Then today I was able to run Rachelle's Virtual 5k today for her Grandma's 96th birthday! I had 6 easy miles on the schedule - again, not a 5k, but a run is a run!

| The guys started out at Joe's house, came to our house for water and fuel, then ran back to Joe's house - there were reports of 50 mph wind gusts in Augusta. I'm thankful it wasn't me out there running! |
While he was tired, he actually took me up on the offer because he did have 6 easy miles on the schedule today (just like me!)
Running on the treadmill today was perfect. Not only did I not have to brave the brutal wind, I got to run with Ward, in a tank top, in front of a fan, while watching tv. I also got to talk to Ward and that was fabulous. I also realized that I can really force myself to slow down for recovery runs on the treadmill. I succeeded in slowing down - 6 miles in 57:51! Woo hoo!
Have you done any virtual races? I have a few more to do.

Love those capri's! They make me happy!
I love the ski goggles. Brilliant... If the weather stays this crappy I will be adding those to my wardrobe!
I love those capris too... I think I need some lol. Love that you were able to run on the treadmill with the hubs too!
Nice! I found Rachelle's blog through her gma's race last year :) so awesome! I love the pic of the goggles lol
I just did my first virtual race! LOVE it! I also signed up for Grandma Lill's. This is keeping me going in the winter.
OOOh girl! Loving those capris!
I have done one virtual rhalf marathon in January but plan to do more this year.
I think I would consider running on the TM if it had a huge fan blowing on me. That is sweet!
I haven't done any virtual races. I love the pants. Sometimes it is nice to slow things down and just get a run in. It is hard to do when you are feeling good but I am really trying to work on that.
Way to go Jen! Thanks for participating:)
Nice! I did my Grandma Lill last weekend. Fun and a great way to celebrate a lovely lady's 96th!

Great job on the treadmill! The guys looked really cold!
I haven't done any virtual races lately. I always feel like I should do the exact miles, which is silly, but then I never do them because I always have to do more miles.
The guys look sooo cold in that picture! Glad you guys had a chance to run on the treadmills together. I wish Allan and I could do that more.
