Days until NYC: 67
August in Central Florida is typically way too hot to have races longer than a 5k and even those are miserable. Unfortunately, I still have some really long runs to complete as part of my NYC training. Virtual races become a very motivating training tool. The first of my two August Virtual races sponsored by Jost Running was a 5k with a really fun hot dog medal. I used it to push me to do another set of 800's during our track workout one day.
I had a 20 mile training run this weekend. 20 miles in this heat and humidity is NO FUN. Luckily for me I checked my mailbox on my way out to run and was greeted with the hot dog 5k medal and the cool spinner baseball half marathon medal! I took that as my cue to run the 20 really well to earn my half marathon medal. Of the 5-8 20 plus mile runs I've done I hate to admit that Sunday's was the best I've run. After the run I tossed on my hard earned medal, it felt really great to be able to reward myself with some sparkly bling at the end! Both the hot dog and the baseball medals were really well done! I love sparkly medals and these both had a lot of shimmer to them. The half marathon baseball medal was perfect size, sparkle, and a spinner! I am really looking forward to seeing the September "Soaring" medals.
Medals and a sweet card
Hot and Sweaty but look at that medal! It's huge!
Not too shabby for it being 8,752 degrees outside!
