Summer Kickoff Virtual 5K - Recap!

Summer Kickoff Virtual 5K, Heart Shaped Sweat, Virtual 5K
Lucas was my running buddy for the Summer Kickoff 5K! And, he loves it when we pause for a blog picture :) Last year it was me and the jogging stroller for most of my runs, but this year it's been nice to have a friend or two to call up and a hubby available. They sure do help hold you accountable and pace you along the way. And for this particular run, I had 60+ running buddies!!!

We picked a loop around a neighborhood lake reservoir that allowed for great change in scenery and path. Some of the loop was shaded other parts full sun. Some flat and some full of hills and winding curves. To hit 3.1 miles you get to run this loop three times. It takes you through woods and neighborhoods and plenty of open space by the water. Aside from the evil gangs of ducks that hide around bins it's a really nice run.

We finished our first ever Heart Shaped Sweat Summer Kickoff Virtual 5K in 30:06!!! Not bad considering the 90+ degree heat and full-on-thickness of humidity. I challenged myself physically in this run but more so mentally. It's the second run of the summer that has me heaving at mile 2. Seems to be something my body just wants to do and then all is well. What the heck is that for?! Anyone else have this wave of nausea just come and go during their summer runs? It's the oddest feeling. I have to focus and not let my mind wander into worry or negativity!!!

Regardless, I absolutely loved this run!!! I loved thinking about all of us in this same week, running the same distance, to kickoff our summers on a healthy foot! It's totally rad to me that we're in this fit life together and we can truly turn to each other for rally, advice, and support.

Each of you ROCK!
You get sweaty high fives and congratulatory hugs from me!

Way to go chick. I'd definitely run or walk if I had someone to run or walk with. Doing it alone isnt so fun.

Ashley Robyn said...

Way to go pretty lady!!! You did awesome. I think this should be a quarterly run. :)

Melissa said...

Great job!!! You seriously rocked it! That is a great time!! Especially in that heat!!! I totally LOL'd when you made the comment about your husband loving to stop to take pictures hehe. I can almost always guarantee an eye roll when it comes to blog picture poses :) But, I can't complain, he is my photographer! Gotta love our men and their support! :) Can't wait to link up tomorrow!

I have to give you a huge Thank You. You were there via twitter when I didn't want to go to my race. With the wind howling and the temp being so much colder than expected, the whiny kid in me said "let's just stay in bed!" Thank you for not letting me. Thank you for being my motivator from afar! Loved the virtual 5k and look forward to the link up tomorrow!!!

Heather Fox said...

Good job! I loved doing this, and I also support doing it quarterly?

Amanda aka Manda said...

I love that you did it together! Thanks again for doing this!!

Wow, your time is awesome! AND bonus points for running it outside :) :)
Also, thank you for the comment on my 5K post. Support through this run definitely makes me want to keep pushing myself :)
