Leaving my comfort zone… one mile at a time.
Leaving my comfort zone ... one mile at a time.
Cambridge 5k's Oktoberfest 5k has zero luck when it comes to weather. In four of the five times I have taken part in the race it has rained... yes today was #4! We somehow got away with a rain-free race in 2015. I guess that was just a fluke. ;)

If you know anything about the area code 415, you'd know it is for San Francisco, CA. You might also know that San Francisco is NOT in fact on the East Coast.
You would in fact be correct! ;)

Bubble runs. Ugly Sweater runs. Zombie runs. Color runs. Fun runs are popping up all over the States and I am loving it. I had previously participated in an Ugly Sweater run, but none of the others.
But the Color Run was always on my list. So when I saw they would be hosting one in "Boston" I was ready to take part.

I was psyched when Sparkle Athletic announced their #TeamSparkle virtual 5k race to support Rett Syndrome & Girl Power 2 Cure. The wonderful girls of Sparkle Athletic asked if I would host an in-person run in Boston and I jumped at the chance.

When your training plan has a 12-mile run on the calendar you start combing Running In The USA to see if there are any half marathons nearby. I mean why not tack on an extra 1.1 miles when there is potential for BLING at the end.

The joy of the virtual race is that you can do it anytime anywhere. I like to use the virtual races to reward myself on a good training run. A "race" doesn't have the mean a PR. Have you ever put your heart and soul into a training run - long run, speed workout, easy day, tempo - and wish someone met you at home with a medal?

There were a ton of smiles before, during and after today's 5k, but unfortunately inside there was inner turmoil and negativity. NOT the way I thought this race day would go.

Selfies, character stops and celebrating 3.1-magical miles!
Read MoreMy name is Dani and I am blogging out of the Boston Area. I started this blog in May of 2011 after suffering a back injury and subsequent back surgery in December 2011-January 2011. This space was to serve as a way for me to release the inner feelings I was carrying around and maybe help some other people going through similar situations: eating disorders, depression, weight loss and more.
