Pi Day Virtual 5k Recap

Ocean thinks he's almost ready to join me on my runs

Yesterday (3/14) was Pi day so I decided to honor it by running a virtual 5k. I've done a virtual marathon and a virtual half, so I figured a virtual 5k would fit right in. Though it's probably the last virtual race I'll do for awhile. I do prefer getting outside and running with others at races.

Speaking of running, I had planned to run this race, but my shins are hurting still, so I walked the whole thing on the treadmill. At 9:30 at night because I had a really busy day yesterday.

It took me 1 hr, 1 minute, and 30 seconds to walk 3.1 miles. I didn't walk it super fast like the 4k I walked (just compare the times), but once I got warmed up I was able to speed up a bit. I also used the time to catch up on some blog posts and look up some things. The downside of spending less time on my computer is that things don't always get done when they need to/I would like. I think it's a trade-off I'm willing to take, though.

One of these days we'll actually celebrate Pi day. I had hoped this race would spur me to do something this year, but when it came down to it, I've had a busy couple weeks and just didn't have the time to plan anything.
