@ridisneypinguy ….. which then will help with your PDD because that will be another vaca in the works
Like I said, vicious circle
No races officially scheduled. Training has been too inconsistent for me to commit the funds, which then hurts my ability to commit to training… It is a vicious circle. I need a rD event to get be back on the straight and narrow
Not saying everyone should do this, but that’s why I signed up for the Virtual Running Shorts series. I will slack off on running if I don’t have anything I’m running for. Last year I was training for a 5k and when that was over, stopped running. I’m hoping these 5ks will help to keep me getting out there regularly
I know I can’t do a runDisney event at WDW anytime soon so I’m loving these virtual races!@starbee You’ll get there before you know it!

I know I can’t do a runDisney event at WDW anytime soon so I’m loving these virtual races!For me, I only see the Virtual Races as purchased medals. My training runs typically average around 5k on weekdays, so to “earn” a medal for training run I (should be) doing 2-3x a week is not much of a push.
Knowing I have to show up to a race that there are hundreds or thousands of other participants at, though, is definitely pressure to watch what I eat and do my workouts. At one time I worried about coming in last. Now I am upset if I’m in the last 3rd. My hope is to finish top half of the standings at some point in my running career.
Off to my 5k guys. Enjoy the weekend!
Have fun!
Does anyone use Garmin connect to track their runs? I do, and it’s set to live broadcast my run via fscebook and Twitter. Look me up, under Matt Litchfield for both.
Got in a 3 miler before work today. Not going to lie, it was a bit of a struggle since we over indulged in food out in Phoenix last weekend! :p Gained a few pounds. Ran in my new Brooks Transcend’s and a running skort! I was having a killer time finding shorts that worked for me. Ran in the skort that has shorts with the tacky strip and they didn’t budge!!! It’s the little things!
Great job @eeyorepoohfan and @10dedfish!
for both of you!
