I know my Hot Chocolate swag bag is in the mail - race was supposed to be this weekend and I’ll probably do a virtual run (opting for the 5K instead of the 15K though!). What a great idea for a challenge - 19min for 19days. I’ve been keeping up with a workout regimen this past week - not as much running though because of the rain. Thanks for the tips!Elaine Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409863023001702145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-55753023369423635372020-03-20T20:21:25.033-05:002020-03-20T20:21:25.033-05:00The 19 minutes for 19 days challenge sounds cool! ...The 19 minutes for 19 days challenge sounds cool! Since I'm working from home for the next few weeks, I'm committing to getting outside for a 30-60 minute walk every day - either during lunch or right after work. I've seen SO many people out walking which has been nice. I think this pandemic has forced families to spend more time to together which is great!KookyRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687318401455266836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-87123875870323926212020-03-20T19:58:14.762-05:002020-03-20T19:58:14.762-05:00I'm signed up, too ;-) I got 6.2 miles done af...I'm signed up, too ;-) I got 6.2 miles done after work, so I have until 5:00 tomorrow afternoon to finish off the remaining 13+/-.

But daily training is awesome and more so than ever it's such a pleasure to start the day with a run. I know a few people who have never run before who are starting couch to 5k and I think there has never been a better time to start running.Birchwood Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504702778025456387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-9152347989374895452020-03-20T08:44:47.811-05:002020-03-20T08:44:47.811-05:00I've been trying to decide if I just want to r...I've been trying to decide if I just want to run for fun/stress relief right now or maybe do some virtual races.

It was very expensive and we are getting only a very small fraction of our money back ($20 out of $155) with no postponement or deferral option for next year. I will do the virtual race so I can get my T-shirt and goody bag sent to me but I am kind of upset about the race management is handling the situation. Grrr...<br /><br />Your suggestions are great. All of t postponements are really opening up a lot of possibilities later in the year, which we can look forward to.

My feeling is always that things happen the way they're supposed to.<br /><br />I'm a virtual race kinda gal, but I am enjoying running just for running's sake. <br /><br />I've been really busy -- working on a Yoga challenge -- I'd really like to have it out beginning of April (heck, I wish I could release it right now), but there's a lot of behind the scenes work and also it's a collaboration & I'm waiting for some of the contributions as well.<br /><br />It's a good time to be an introvert. :)Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096124660145481881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-40850936748355357082020-03-20T07:13:45.981-05:002020-03-20T07:13:45.981-05:00Haha, I love " No FOMO because no one else wi...Haha, I love " No FOMO because no one else will be racing either".
