It was my first virtual race, and I had an overall great time. I encountered some physical challenges while running this race, mainly both of my knees. They were in a lot of pain as I ran. It doesn’t help that it’s been nearly a year since I ran a race and only trained for a couple of weeks. Yet, I was resolved to complete this race, even if it meant running at a much slower pace. I ran the race in 2:31:34, it was not one of my best numbers. But I was really proud of still be able to run the majority of this race without stopping. My overall goal was to go the distance, and I did, even with two bad knees 😁
