Happy Little Trees 5K

Back in April I ran my first virtual race! I've never been big into doing virtual runs because I like the whole race experience but when I saw this medal and shirt I HAD TO HAVE IT!!!


Some background information: I am an art teacher and am obsessed with Bob Ross. So I am always looking for Bob Ross things I can wear at work. I have pins on my lanyard, a Funko Pop on my bookshelf, a bobble head on my desk and a student gave me an ornament for Christmas. The kids get a kick out of it.

Best medal ever!

The race was called the Run for the Trees- Happy Little 5K. It was put on by Michigan State Parks and the proceeds went back to the parks to plant trees. It took place over the week of Earth Day.

I actually had a good time doing my first virtual race even though I was all alone on the roads. It felt a little different from just going for a run though because I was in the mindset that it was a race. I finished in 38 minutes, not my fastest but that's OK because I was enjoying myself and having a good time.

I hope you are staying healthy and safe! Run on friends!
