Registered for a virtual race!
Nothing like getting some sweet bling for a training run.
Am I right?
The Gone For A Run Race For The White House 4-miler had one pretty sweet spinning medal. I couldn't turn it down.

Virtual race FTW! ;)
On Friday I opted to work from home, which allowed me to knock out my run during the day outside instead of early morning inside on the treadmill. #WIN

Well I completed the Gone For A Run Run Now Beer Later *virtual* 10k. I had planned on doing this BEFORE said half marathon, but my schedule had different plans! :P
According to the site, Gone For A Run wanted you to complete the race between September 25-27. Well I already had the ZOOMA Women's Half on the schedule for September 26, which left two possible dates.

Enter virtual races. I love using a virtual race to jazz up an otherwise hum drum training run.
So I used yesterday's 7-miler (which I wasn't really looking forward to) to complete the Gone For A Run Sole Sister 7-miler.
Read MoreWhen I woke up Friday I was in a bad mental place. I opted to take a No-Weigh In for my weekly weigh-in and shifted my focus to recharging over the weekend.
For the first time in awhile we weren't traveling or racing so it was the perfect chance to dial back the "go go go" pace we've been on this summer and just be.
Read MoreHappy Fourth of July Everyone! I hope you are all enjoying a day with friends and family. I'm happy to be relaxing on the Cape with the wife, my parents and the pups.
I kicked today off with Gone For A Run's #All4Run Virtual 4-miler.
Read MoreMy name is Dani and I am blogging out of the Boston Area. I started this blog in May of 2011 after suffering a back injury and subsequent back surgery in December 2011-January 2011. This space was to serve as a way for me to release the inner feelings I was carrying around and maybe help some other people going through similar situations: eating disorders, depression, weight loss and more.
