Veteran's Day Virtual 11k

I met two of my running friends for the Veteran's Day Virtual 11k run today. It was absolutely gorgeous outside!!! We really couldn't have asked for nicer weather.
I was super excited earlier this week when my bib arrived. I have no idea why it keeps flipping my photo. It looks normal until I try and enter it here. Aw well, you get the point!

 I feel so honored to run this race. It's a cause that's very close to home for me. My Dad was in the Army, my brother a Marine, I was in the Navy, my husband is still in the Navy, his Dad was Air Force, my brother-in-law is Air Force - I know so many wonderful people who have chosen to serve our great Nation. They make so many sacrifices so we can enjoy our freedoms. It was truly an honor to be able to run a race as a thank you to them for all they do.

We meet at a park about 15 minutes from post and set off. We held a decent pace and made one wrong turn. At 4 miles, we turned around and headed back. We stopped running at 7.5 and walked back to the car to stretch out our legs. We were all grinning ear to ear. What a wonderful day for a race!!

The trail we ran...

And do you remember me saying that my toe hurt? Well, I'm pretty sure I might lose a toenail. Oh my! Ha, ha. I read that it happens to runners, but I thought it was for those who ran marathons and other great distances. It's a really ugly purple color...doesn't look so bad in the photo. When I took my sock off yesterday I could see it from way up above...ew! Sorry, but looks like I'm leaving you with a photo of my toenail today!
