Hey everyone! In the spirit of all the Virtual races and actual races that are out there for this Christmas season, I thought it would be fun to do a Virtual fun run of our own. Our run is going to be an Ugly Sweater run! The distance is of your choice: 3K (1.8 miles) or 5K (3.1). And will take place on December 21st and 22nd. Once complete, come back here to post your time and photo of yourself in your ugly sweater.

Happy Running!

    I don't think I own an ugly sweater. I'm still doing the run, though.

    Not sure about the Ugly Sweater part either but I'm here for the run (5K).

    I really enjoy these virtual runs. It's so much fun to see people post their experiences. This is a great group of dedicated runners.

    Good idea! We should all wear our biggest old sweater! LOL! I hope I kept one. I have been getting braver about parting with the under grown clothes.

    I don't have an ugly sweater either. But I do have a huge one from before the weight loss. So I am in. I just finished week 5 day 1 of c25k. So I should be ready by then. :-)

    Ok - I'll do it! I need something to do this month since the school running club isn't coming up with any runs for us. I hope its not super cold. I would rather run outside than inside on the rec center track. But what ever I need to do. ---- Don't have a sweater though nor an older big sweater either. I enjoy the new sizes too much to keep the old stuff that use to fit.

    I just ran my first 5k last month. Since then I have been focused on intervals for weight loss and diabetes control.
    I would love to do a virtual RUN FOR FUN!
    I'm committing to 3K but if I'm feeling froggy... I might push to 5K.

    So making sure I"m clear on what a virtual run is....
    - inside track ok if needed? Cold weather irritates asthma
    -Wear ugly sweater
    -post pic and total time/distance
    --have fun

    If no snow, I'm in!

    I'll have a hunt for an ugly sweater - knowing my fashion faux pas I'm bound to have some howler lurking in a drawer :)

    Treadmills are allowed as well.

    I went to the thrift store & found two potentials, but they weren't hideous enough. I'm going to check out another thrift store tomorrow.
