This past weekend was time to run the Faster Than Boo Virtual 10K by GoneForARun.com! And....I ran it on Saturday...which was also Halloween!!! How perfect!!!

Luckily Jenny came to run with me! We decided to make it fun and dress festive! Jenny wore Ariel colors and I wore my pumpkin shirt! Fun! 

We started around 6:20 AM. The weather was hot and a little humid but we expected that because rain was in the forecast for later that night. The sun was just starting to come up!

We ran and talked! The miles just flew by!!! I love runs like that! Before we knew it...we were done!!!!

See the cute little pumpkins Jenny wore on her hat? So much fun!!!

And how appropriate that I had a ghost on my front door! Fit so well with the theme of the race! We were definitely faster than Boo!!! ;-)

After the run my hubby presented me with my super cute medal! The ghost glows in the dark AND spins y'all!!! So awesome!!!

It was another great run! And how awesome to get a medal afterwards! I just LOVE the virtual races by goneforarun.com! Be sure to check out all the virtual races they offer! There are some really cute ones for the holidays!!!

This past weekend I ran a virtual race by GoneForARun.com! You may remember me telling you about it a few weeks ago.

My friend Jenny was going to run with me. The night before the run the forecast was calling for rain. So I was prepared to run in the rain. Around 5 AM I was woken up by a thunderstorm....and a tornado watch. We were planning to run at 6:30 AM. I quickly looked at the radar and it looked like the rain would be gone by then. So I attempted to get a little more sleep before I had to get up. Of course I couldn't sleep anymore! Finally the alarm went off. I got ready and headed out...into a thick, humid, and hot morning. I knew those conditions were going to make it a tough run. But I was excited to run with a friend.

I met Jenny at her house. I wanted a different route than from my house since I run that 6 times a week! Jenny's route was an out and back route in the country!

Of course we needed a post run picture of our non sweaty selves! (Thanks to Jenny's sweet husband Eric for taking all our pictures for us!)

We started our run and right away it was hard to breathe. Plus it was windy. We wouldn't have to endure the wind until we turned around to come back home. None of that stopped us from talking, laughing, and smiling the entire time!

And we had great scenery as well! Who doesn't love running next to a cow pasture?! (And yes...I know I was supposed to "log off" but I couldn't resist one mid run picture...please forgive me!)

Before long we had made it to our turn around point. We headed back into the wind. By mile 4 I was pretty much done. I was so ready for the run to be over. Luckily Jenny kept my mind off of it and we conquered those 6.2 miles!

We had done it! It was a tough run in the 100% humidity! We were drenched with sweat!

That's our "You so stinky" faces! Lol!

And of course being the awesome friend that she is...Jenny awarded me with my medal! :-)

After the run we recovered the best way we know how...with coffee of course! And since we had just run 6.2 miles we totally deserved the big one! ;-)

It was a super fun way to start off my Saturday!

Be sure to check out the next virtual race that GoneForARun.com is offering...Bad Ass Runner Virtual 5 Mile Race! This one is May 29- May 31!
