This morning I did the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Virtual Fun Run/Walk (what a name!), which was a 5K for me, but my app paused itself part way through and it had missed .75K. I had to have it say 5K though so I actually did 5.75K. :) and I also reached -35lbs this morning as well!

    It's a virtual one so its where ever you are! There's a Facebook page for it. It costs $20 with the proceeds going towards the Boston Marathon Victims Relief. You get a PDF of a bib to print out (I got mine printed on vinyl through Vistaprint) and when you have finished, they'll send you a really cool medal!

    Oh and I like the idea of having Vistaprint doing the bibs..there are several for my virtual runs I want to print out..

    Their smallest is still pretty big so you'd probably be able to fit 3-6 bibs on a small one then cut them out like I did.

    Holy crap, this is amazing! Clearly I have a new running goal! Congrats on finishing the run :D

    This isn't Doctor Who, but still fits within the nerdy realm: there's a running app called Zombies, Run! which is pretty fun. I'm using it to help keep me motivated to run.
