2026 Be Kind to Your Mind Virtual Run – 1M • 5K • 10K • 13.1 • 26.2

I was supposed to do a half marathon in Colorado during my visit there

I was supposed to do a half marathon in Colorado during my visit there. However it was extremely hot and in the altitude I did not think it was a good idea to participate in the half I signed up for. The hotel had a gym and I quickly got online and ordered the Colorado medal and did the half on the treadmill. It was perfect!

My first virtual race!

This was my first virtual race. It was pouring rain in Tampa, Fl so walked 5K in the mall. Took 66min and my total was 3.3 miles. Over 7 800 steps. Cant wait for my next one and hopefully a bit faster.
