Ready, Set, BLING.

I'm just saying that I keep thinking today is Friday. But, it's not.

No matter what the actual day is, I do know that tomorrow is our Family Run!! WooHoo!! I've mapped everyone's routes, taking careful consideration to map the best route for the scared-of-traffic dog, and we've set our start times!

And, in my case, running with the fam!!

Pit Crew #2 and I should come in about 15 minutes before the boys and dog, so we will be able to cheer them to their finish! My predictions: Aaron will be the sweatiest; Pit Crew #3 will be the goofiest, and Elly will be the happiest!

Okay. Yes. It is about the refusal to be stopped which was imperative for me when I started running. And, the speed thing, also true. That couldn't be a factor for me or I would have spent all of my time making sure I noticed there were other people better at this than I instead of focusing on what would make it fun and have staying power.

The medal situation? Well, that's a different story. Sometimes I want the motivating bling! And, to that end, here's what's waiting for us at our finish:

For Aaron.  Previous virtual race sponsored by US Road
Running -- organization promoting the benefits
(and, fun!) of running and cycling!

For Pit Crew #3. It's a long story as to how this medal from a
recent US Road Running virtual race is perfect for him!

Previous virtual race created by Team Turtle Training to
benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Her name is
Holly, by the way. And, she says, "Oh, Darling, Just Run." !!

OF COURSE Elly has one coming! Previous virtual race
organized by Barking Mad About Running to
fundraise for Muscular Dystrophy.

It's true. I enter virtual races then run them whenever I feel like it. Or, someone else runs them. Everyone. Wins.

I'm looking forward to my long-term vision to come to fruition tomorrow!! Do whatever you need (or, want!) to motivate yourself, I'll see you after the morning run event!
