Aneta's 7.64 Mile Virtual Race Report

Last month, Aneta at Confessions of a Rambunctious Runner announced that she was going to be holding a virtual race. It consisted of a 12.3K (7.64 mile) virtual race. Runners were encouraged to run in their pajamas (or any part of their pj's) or simply to run in their running apparel. Of course, I was in. It was my first virtual race.

I ran it on the treadmill with Little Dude keeping me company, while watching "The View" this morning.

I ended up sporting a Victoria's Secret PINK cotton sleepdress over my running outfit. It actually worked out nicely and the polka dots looked cute with my Bondi Band!!

I brought Little Dude downstairs with me on my day off of work and brought all sorts of toys downstairs, that the kids hadn't played with in awhile. It was like having new toys for him. He played with Little People for over an hour and snacked on fruit snacks, goldfish and milk. What a good Little Dude I have!! He LOVES going running with mommy!

I never had to stop the treadmill once with him. He had a great time with me this morning. My legs felt great and I started at my usual 6.6 MPH (for some reason I always start out at this odd pace -- it's comfortable -- and familiar for me) and cranked it up slowly in the last few miles and eventually up to 9.5 MPH at the end.

I ended up finishing my 7.64 miles in 1:07:15. YEAH ME!

Today's after workout "glow" in my pj's!!

As I've mentioned before, I love a Diet Mountain Dew after my workouts. It's my zero calorie indulgence. Little Dude knows this. Whenever he is downstairs with me on the treadmill, he ALWAYS goes into the mini fridge downstairs (where we keep our soda) and sets one next to the treadmill for me. It's always waiting for me when I hit the stop button. It is just the cutest thing!!

After my run, I showered up and we went and had lunch with Daddy. Used a gift card we got for Christmas at Applebee's and didn't have to spend much of anything! YEAH for free lunch!

Since lunch was pretty much free .... why not go shopping?!?! So, I took Little Dude to the mall and splurged on these cute Nike Running shorts that were on sale for $19.99 at Dick's Sporting Goods. I own way too many pairs of these shorts (my favorite) -- but love them -- and couldn't pass up this fun, new color combination! Now, which Bondi Band will match these?! Hmmmmmm...........
