Grab you lightsabers kids because March is done and so is the Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon. Did you think I forgot? Not a chance and thanks to my incredible union with the Force, you didn’t even notice me. OK, enough geeking out, here’s a breakdown of the event, the rules and what I did to earn my new medal.
Remember how I said I wasn’t doing anything over 10K after Chicago? Well my crazy marathon partner sent me a message about having completed a Star Wars Half. Pardon me??? Well it’s an event put on by Disney and you have from January 1stto March 31
To be brutally honest I’m not even sure as I type this that I had a plan. I had intentions for sure. I was going to run all of it outdoors. Meet up for some long segments with @JessicaRoy1978. All of those things did not happen. Instead I had some fast indoor sessions on the treadmill. I had some slower ones too. I also managed to get outdoors for a couple of the sessions. In all, it took 2h14m and some change to complete the 21.1KMs and while it is a time record (for me), I can’t count it. Those breaks definitely allowed me to recoup during what would no doubt have been a three hour half.
Still, I did get the job done. There is a fancy R2D2 Medal headed my way and I will say it was a fun way to be active during the cold days of winter. I even have a friend or two who got excited when I told them what I was doing and they got onboard too. If you fancy a little extra motivation, do a quick Google Search because there are a zillion virtual races of all lengths out there. Nothing like some bling to get you moving.
