Happy National Running Day!

I run for too many reasons and they wouldn’t all fit apparently! ;)

Today to celebrate the occasion I actually got outside and got a run in!  I taped up my knee in KT Tape and headed out the door.

I got in 3.23 miles @13:35/mile (43:50)… talk about feeling slow! :(  I just have to keep reminding myself that it will get better and I will be able to run as fast as I used to again…I ended up walking about half of it because I didn’t want to push my luck and end up aggravating my knee more than it is already… I actually think it’s getting better (slightly) but that’s a post for another day… Here are some views from my run today.

 

Remember the Anywhere5k Virtual Run for OKC that I posted about a couple weeks ago?
This was my #run4ock!

It was also for Run With Jess’s 5000 likes on FB giveaway! Go check it out and like her on FB!

What did you do to celebrate National Running Day?
- Got my butt out the door for a run! :)

Do you ever participate in virtual runs?
- More now than “real” ones because I can go at a slow pace due
  to my knee and not feel bad about it…

#Anywhere5k and #Runchat Team Up…

Just last month I stumbled upon a website called #Anywhere5k.  Their philosophy straight from their website:

The #Anywhere5K philosophy is simple. Instead of enduring the hassles of organized road races (registration fees, waking up before the rooster crows, or getting lost on your way to the start line) just roll out of bed and go run a 5K race from wherever you are. (source)

I wanted to tell you all about a virtual race they are hosting.  They are partnering up with #Runchat to host a virtual Run for OKC #anywhere5k!  It will be open for a week (May 29th – June 1st) and it’s free!  It’s highly encouraged to donate to help the victims of the tornado and they list a few ways to do that on the run’s website!

Go sign up! :)
