Completed: One Virtual Run for Sherry

This morning I did the Virtual Run for Sherry.  I wrote about the virtual run for Sherry a few days ago. 
 
Here I am before the run, in the nice warmth of my car:

 

I forgot to print the bib from the site, so I didn't actually wear it while running.  I ran in New Park, and there were a ton of runners out this morning!  The weather was a balmy 34 degrees, and I forgot my clothes (that would have been hilarious, but I actually forgot my gloves!!!).  My hands warmed up rather quickly though so it wasn't a problem!

 

And--I completed my first 5K, even though it wasn't an organized race.  I ran 3.2 miles in 32.58 minutes!  So proud of this huge accomplishment, and I'm glad I did it for a cause.  I kept thinking about running for Sherry every time I wanted to stop, and it kept me going. 

 

Did you run for Sherry?  If so, post your stats in the comments section!!! 

 

 

Virtual Run for Sherry

I know I said I wasn't blogging this weekend, but I lied.  I'm waiting until the sun comes up so I can go for my run, and I wanted to post quickly about this virtual run for Sherry.

One of my "virtual" friends, who has been in my life for NINE years now (I'll have to tell that story another time), posted on her blog about a virtual run.  Of course, I was intrigued, since I had to cancel my 10k.  

The virtual run for Sherry is held on February 9, 2013 this year.  Check out the webpage that tells you why you may want to run for Sherry: Shut Up + Run: 2nd Annual Virtual Run for Sherry. 

If you choose to run this virtual run, please post in comments how many miles and how long you ran!
