Remember when I told you all about this fun race? Well, on Saturday, the time finally came to run the Sole Sister 7 Miler with my Sole Sisters from Moms Run this Town San Diego! I set out my awesome swag and race number.
My specially made Spandits skirt in Fern, ProCompression socks and Headsweats visor. Turns out, I decided on a different visor the morning of the event. My plan was to do this race as part of my 20 miler and so I was meeting up with some awesome women at 5:00 a.m.
Insanity! But I did hear this song to pump me up on the way there!
And we gathered and headed out!
The 7 miler is a super fun distance and was a PR for all of us because it was all our first time at this distance in a race setting.
We were stoked to be done because the sun was out in full effect by 7:30 a.m. Sheesh!
The medals were super cute and I LOVE the color combos.
A couple of us are training for Canyon City Full Marathon in November and had 20 miles on tap for the day! Tara and I did 20. Vanessa did 14 and Jackie did 8.
But running long had its rewards because I ran into the sweet Ellie the Pug!
Please Ellie's owner...please let me keep her!
I had a blast doing this Virtual! Love gathering my girls and spending all morning together. I could have done without the heat and humidity though. I can't wait for the next one. I see they have a beer race coming up...then a Halloween one.
Have you ever done a Virtual race? Did you do this one? Does Pump up the Jam pump YOU up too? What time do you start your long runs to beat the heat?
As always, I wish you Happy Feet,
SD Mom
I love that you did this with a group! And how fun that you coordinated your outfit with the shirt!
ReplyDeleteAre you doing the Beer run?
How cool is this? I hadn't heard of virtual races before (so I checked out your other post too). Love the color combo you have going for this one; and that skirt makes me want to take up running!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun! Running is so much easier with a group.
