Official Road Sharks!

On Saturday morning, my BRF and I embarked on a grand Road Shark adventure...Gone for a Run's Road Shark Virtual 5 Miler, that is! Shark bait...oooh ha ha.... (I had to, sorry...)

To our amazement, the weather for Saturday morning's run was PERFECT! Low humidity and temperatures in the 70's - I sure wish that would hang around Southwest Louisiana a bit longer!

Our route was a typical Saturday morning group run route and we had a great time laughing, talking, and catching up on recent travels!

Before we knew it, we were at the turnaround point and that's when I realized that we ran 3 miles instead of 2.5, turning this 5 miler into a 6 miler! Whoops! We were just having such a great time, we didn't even realize it! Miles fly when you're having fun! :)

After the run, we awarded medals to each other, then took a few pictures before saying our goodbyes!

I am in LOVE with the shirt from this race!  It's SO soft and comfortable! I didn't run in because I had plans to wear it the rest of the day!
 

I attempted to get a picture of my watch and this happened....and it stayed stuck like this forever. I finally gave up waiting on it to process!

 After returning home, I put my medal on the hanger and my magnet on the fridge! :)

It was such a gorgeous day, I even enjoyed a cup of coffee out on the deck in the back yard!

I'm so glad I had the chance to experience this race with a friend! Overall it was a fun one and the swag was great! Stop by Gone for a Run and see what's next on their list of races to come!

Hope you all had an amazing weekend!

Road Shark 5 Mile Run

It's officially Princess Half Marathon registration day! Best of luck to everyone who's registering...I'll admit, I'm a tad bit nervous!

In other racing news, Gone for a Run is hosting yet another virtual race...this time, it's a 5 miler! I love that these races have grown to be so popular among the running community. It's fun to look around Gone for a Run's blog/facebook and see everyone's race recaps and pictures!

In honor of shark week, this virtual run is named the Road Shark 5 Mile Run!

Race packets include:

• Race Shirt (either a Women's Everyday Tee or a Men's Lifestyle Tee) 
• Finisher medal 
• Race bib (no downloads!) 
• Car magnet.    

Similar to the 4th of July race, add-ons are available. They range from adorable socks (for only $5!), to arm sleeves and a headband!

I received my packet yesterday and I LOVE the race shirt! It's incredibly soft and comfortable...and...I might have slept in it last night. How cute is the bib, too? It looks as if a shark took a bite out of it! :)

 In order to receive your race packet in time for the race, click here and be sure to register by July 21. Use code SHARKSHOES for free shipping until 7/17 (in the continental US)!


Also, please note that these women's shirts are a bit fitted - if you'd like a looser fit, order a size up. I did and am very pleased with the way it fits! 

So far, I've participated in the Log Off/Shut Down/Go Run 5K and the All 4 Run 4th of July 4 Miler and I've had a blast with both! I can't wait to see what theme Gone for a Run comes up with next!
