An unresolved nagging injury has kept me from making running goals. I still have a bunch of virtual races lined up which I'll review as I walk them.
The Red, Wine & Blue virtual run was offered as an Independence Day race. I signed up for the 5K distance.
A portion of proceeds from the race went to the following charities: Be Well Therapy; Komen Orange County; and Keep A Breast.
Race Day: July 4, 2020
