I signed up to do the National Veteran's Day Virtual 11k again this year since I had such a good experience with it last year. Unfortunately it didn't work out as well this year. I didn't even receive my race items until two weeks after the event (and that was after several e-mails inquiring where my things were). I don't even have a photo of my bling - the medal was not as nice as last year, the tech shirt I ordered this year was a waste of money, and the bib was pointless since I didn't have it for the actual run. Still, it was good to run in honor of my fellow Veteran's.
I ran the race around post with my running friend Michele (she didn't get her things in the mail on time either). She took a bunch of photos of us just being goofy.
Michele loves to run around the lake on post (it is pretty, but it's only about .8 of a mile, so it gets old quick). We had to do a photo with it in the background for her.
It was fun to be out running with Michele; she's a great motivator on runs. Next year I'll be looking for a real race instead of a virtual one. I'm not a huge fan of virtual runs - I miss the camaraderie of the other runners and the people cheering and just the whole atmosphere that comes with a real race.
