Last week, my friend Melissa and I (along with Brayden and Melissa's dog Tink) completed the first leg of the runDisney Summer Virtual 5K series, the Mad Tea Party 5K!
With the state of the world as it is, I knew another runDisney event wouldn't be in the cards for me this year, so signing up for this race series was perfect!
Their neighborhood almost makes a 1 mile loop, so mile 1 hit in no time.
Around the end of mile 2, I noticed something in the water of the ditch alongside the road...
Can you see it? It's a water moccasin and it looked like it had just eaten dinner due to its fat belly!
Naturally, our mile 2 stop had to be taken with the (not so friendly) snake! Yikes!
Needless to say, our mile 3 was just a tad bit faster than the previous two! We were ready to be finished!
Melissa's dog Tink came along for our 5K (which Brayden loved) and had a great time!
Before long, our 5K was complete! I'm so glad we decided to do this together. We can't wait for part 2 and part 3, coming in July and August!
The last time I completed the runDisney summer 5K series was the inaugural year (back in 2016) and I've enjoyed this one just as much as the first! Reading back over part 2 from that race series reminded me about the snake I came across in the grass during that run. What is it about the runDisney summer virtual series and snakes? I'm not sure, but I hope it doesn't happen again!
Did you register for the runDisney summer virtual series? If so, how has your running gone so far?
