Thanks so much, Belle! I've definitely been there too lately, quite a bit actually. I miss the group I used to run with in person, and miss being out there in general. How was the Stay Home Virtual Race?

The virtual race was good and functional but sorely lacking "race" experience. No traffic control, no porta potties, no banana, no tacky signs along the way and no spectators. But I got it done.
That's really interesting to hear. I see a lot of promotions and listings for virtual events, but I've heard only here and there from people who've run them.
Seems like they're an okay substitute for the time being, but that we're essentially trying to simulate a race experience rather than create something new.
What if you knew you had the support of your fellow runners here at The Half Marathoner, and we could chat/support each other as we train together and run a race together? (To the degree that that's possible when we're all scattered around the country!)
I keep thinking there's a way to make this better and help people feel more connected, but we just haven't figured it out quite yet. Still working on it here.

That would be awesome! Perhaps a daily recap or weekly for others ...? Sharing struggles and successes...
