Upcoming Bubble Run

I'm very excited for this coming weekend. My kids and I along with two of my friends will be doing the Bubble Run 5k. If you are looking for a fun run or a "first time" run, I highly recommend it. I first did this run with my daughter in 2016 as a way to create a nice memory and a First for her and maybe of her becoming a casual fan of mom. She was 3 years old and she jogged the entire 3 miles!

I really didn't think we would do another Bubble Run and thought my girl would forget about it. But when she would browse through pictures she would ask if we could do it again. Due to life and the Pandemic we weren't able to run again until last year 2022 adding my son and friends to our little adventure. That year we officially said we would make it a yearly thing, so here we are 2023 and ready to walk, skip, jump and run through the bubbles. Plus I am able use the mileage of this run to mark miles to my Virtual Run Challenge.

The Bubble Run holds their event in different locations around the nation. Visit their website, they could be in your city or near you.

Back to Why...

So the attractive Seashell Medal along with its pretty sea creature pins had caught my eye. I contemplated it as I continue to scroll through my social media. I put my phone down thinking I had brushed the thought away, nope, it was still there. I went back to my phone thinking it wouldn't come back on my feed and told myself that if it was gone it was a sign. Well, it was there! I clicked on the image for more information and I read through the page. Along with the Under the Sea challenge, the Virtual Running Club offers other races of all types of distance like a Sesame Stree t 100 mile run, All 90's 90 mile, My Little Pony/Rainbow Retro Run and many more. Looking through the options I didn't think twice about it, I have done 5Ks, 10Ks, 1/2 Marathons and Marathons but nothing like a virtual run or a challenge. This is a 300 mile challenge! Why didn't I pick another type of mile challenge like the 90 mile, or 100 mile to start? It was the medal, the medal made me ...

Cont. of My FBF

I wanted to share a bit more of my small experience and hopefully inspire you if you are thinking of becoming a beginner of anything. Leading up to the school year 1998-1999 and my participation in the Los Angeles Marathon, the only running I did was running from bullies, in P.E. and when I was in track & field during junior high. Little did I know that running would grow to be a passion of mine. Running 1 mile, 6, 13 or 26.2 miles isn't easy, it takes a lot of training and focus. The Students Run LA program helped many students like me prepare to endure each mile while participating in different races throughout the region. I got to see cities and places I had never visited in my own city as a teenager, as a teen I can tell you it is a unique affect and still is to see how the cities have grown. Through that experience I also learned what the human body is capable of, our bodies are magical. It has an undefined endurance and can be pushed passed its limit. Our body is...

My Virtual Run Challenge - Under the Sea

The virtual run I signed up for is called Under the Sea Challenge a 300 mile challenge through Virtual Running Club. The Virtual Running Club host both Virtual Races & Virtual Challenges. A percentage of all the registrations are donated to charitable groups. Some organization they donate to are, Make a Wish Foundation Sierra Club, Sesame Workshop, Wander Project, National Park Foundation and Denali Education Center of Alaska What is the difference between the two? Well, a virtual race needs to be completed by the given date range. The location and when you complete it, it is up to you. A virtual challenge, is a goal you commit to complete. Your are rewarded for meeting each milestone. For example the shell metal displayed, the are small pins on the ribbon, those pins represent each milestone in the challenge. Mileage you accumulate can be used for different runs you sign up for and make your own rituals . I have 1 year to complete my challenge, I can go at my pace, run,...
