On Thursday morning (Thanksgiving Day), I ran the virtual "Run Now Gobble Later 5K"...except we turned it into a 4 miler! This race was a part of Gone For A Run's Virtual Race Series. Although I am a Gone For A Run Ambassador, I did purchase entry into this race on my own.
Sadly, my area no longer hosts a community wide turkey trot, so my running buddy Heather and I had to come up with our own Thanksgiving morning game plan! After debating what to do, we finally decided to register for a virtual race. It just so happened that Gone For A Run was hosting one, so we decided to go for it! Registration for the race was easy and shipping was super fast! With our registration fee, we each received a race bib, knee high socks, and a medal.
Heather and I met up at my house at 7 a.m. to begin our run. Brayden also had to tag along since my husband was working days. I was a little worried about him lasting the 4 mile distance, but he did AWESOME!
It was a little chilly that morning, so I bundled Brayden up with several blankets and he didn't move at all during the run! At one point, I forgot he was even in the stroller!
We had a great run as always and I definitely enjoyed the company! One of our favorite parts of this specific virtual race was the adorable turkey socks!! I washed mine and kept them on the rest of the day!
My little trooper did such an amazing job - he stayed awake the entire run and didn't make a peep!
We did it! :) These medals were really colorful and well made!
After the run, I showered then got ready for brunch with my parents.
They came over and enjoyed these delicious pumpkin pie cinnamon rolls with us! :)
In all, it was a great run and I would definitely participate in another Gone For A Run Virtual Race in the future!
Did you participate in a Turkey Trot race?
Yay for Brayden completing his first race..hehe!
ReplyDeleteI know some other bloggers who did this race too. What a cute medal!
I was tempted to sign up for that one just to get the socks.
