I went to my fav social run last night. It was great to see so many familiar faces! Went a little further than a 5k at a decent pace – so much easier to do with other people to help pace you! Towards the end, it started to ache on my lower calf/upper achilles (calfilles?). I don’t think it will be anything major if I don’t over do it until it heals.
I know what you’re thinking, but no, there was absolutely no photoshopping done to add in runners who missed the photo op.
This social run had an ulterior motive – to raise funds for the Boston Police Foundation. You can donate HERE.
It’s meant for them because they are on the Marathon course. As part of this, you’re supposed to grow a “bostache”. I missed that memo, but my friends didn’t.
Fortunately, I always keep a backup bostache on hand. Unfortunately, I also missed the sweatband memo.
Mustachioed friend on the left is my super speedy (last 13.1 was 1:07) buddy Logan Sherman. He’s running Boston on Monday. We’re all wishing him luck! If you’re watching the race in person, online, or on TV. Look for him and cheer!
I have a ways to go before qualifying for Boston. But in the meantime, I’ll be running this virtual version: Boston Marathon World Run Join me if you can!
Anyways, after the social run, we got social!
Girls Night Out!
Good peeps. Good cause. Good times.
How bout you? Any social runs lately? How’s the wooly worm on your upper lip coming in? Any Boston Marathon plans (watching, running, donating, etc. etc.)?
