First Virtual ~ Jelly Bean 5K ~RunwithJess

One day my mom was looking up races and she found a Virtual Race called the Jelly Bean Run.  She found it on a website called, Run with Jess. http://www.runwithjess.com/

Jess had a race bib that you could print off, we colored it because our printer was out of ink.  I liked coloring it so I could use the colors I liked. P.S. My mom colored her's just the way it looked on line.

My running bib.

We started our run on the first day of spring.  We ran to a park called Celebrate 2000 Park here in Ocala, FL.  Then we ran all the way to the end of the park.  On our way out of the park we stopped by to visit the cave.  

When we came out of the park we hit our first mile.  Just two more Jelly Bean miles to go. We ran our next two miles on sidewalks around our apartments.  We made our 3.1 miles and then walked to Wal-mart for some delicious jelly beans.  Mom also bought me a refreshing cold  Monster Drink.  

We walked back home snacking on our sweet treats.  

Here is our running stats.  I was a little slower on this race because I was thirsty.  Next time I will drink more water.   I liked doing a virtual race, but I did not get a medal, because Jess was all sold out.  I still liked running because it was fun and my mom gets me a Monster when I run.

I think Virtual runs are good for kids because they do not have to get up early like you do on race days.  They can also get medals for Virtual runs.  Virtual runs can be done whenever you want to do them.  One day I hope to sponsor my own virtual run and encourage kids of all ages to run.

 Running helps everyone to stay healthy.
