Yesterday I signed up for the Virtual Run for Hurricane Sandy Recovery. I saw it on Lora’s blog and since I’m running a marathon today, I thought, why not join in?
It’s a great way to raise money for the Red Cross and do something, even if it’s just donating $10 and running with intention and purpose.
Check out her blog for full details and more information, but here is a little of what I copied and pasted:
How to participate
- Run a race of any distance the month of November. There are TONS of fun holiday races this time of year so grab a friend (or two!) and sign up.
- Register for the Virtual Race for Hurricane Sandy here.
- Pledge your donation (a minimum donation of $10 requested) here. ALL PROCEEDS will be donated to the Red Cross.
- Tell all of your friends that you are participating and invite them to join us, too.
- Run your race and tell us how you did! Make sure to send us pictures.
COLORS OF THE DAY: PINK
I had all my gear laid out last night for an early 4am wakeup call this morning: (I put it in the hallway so I wouldn’t wake up the husband; wife of the year over here)
*sparkly pink BIC band (sale coming tomorrow to benefit hurricane relief!)
*new 26.2 Apparel tank in tie dye (it’s on sale for $15 right now, super steal)
*pink Pro Compression argyle socks (a sale on these babies is coming asap too)
*pink Mizuno Wave Rider 16 – major shoe love going on right now between me and the 16s.
*26.2 Apparel running shorts – the only running shorts I own
*pink Moving Comfort Fiona sports bra
After the race I’m headed over to my friends house in LA to catch up and hang out with my college girlfriends. Today will be a great day!
Off to do #38

It is about time I get involved in a virtual race… and since this goes to a great cause. Thanks for passing it on.
Good luck! Love the tye dye top!
Wow , the virtual race sounds like a fantastic idea!!
Good luck today – My mouth still drops open at just how many marathons you’ve done!

Are you done wearing nike tempos?
Maybe I’ll make the Brooklyn marathon my first virtual race! Thanks for the tip. Ps- I need those pink argyle socks!
Thanks for the shout out! Good luck today!
The virtual race for relief efforts seems like a great idea. I’m running in a gobble gallop on Thanksgiving Day so I’ll have to do the virtual race too!
Shared the virtual run info on my blog also, hope that is OK! Tell me if I’ve broken some blogger code…please! Wasn’t going to run a race in November now I will look today to be sure I am signed up for one and the virtual race. Thank you for sharing!
no, i think its great to share and get the word out!
I love your new site design, and of course the pink is the way to go! I can’t wait for that BIC bands sale tomorrow! I’ll be all over it.
Thanks so much! Good luck today!
Good find in the virtual race. Hope your day is wonderful.
I’m also running the virtual run. Such a great cause!
Good luck! And I can’t wait for that sale on the socks.

What size do you wear in the 26.2 tank? I like it but have never tried that brand before.
mine is a size small, its longer but not too terribly tight which i love.
SR I love that you apply 1 Timothy 4:8 to your relationship with God as well as your love for running! I do the same thing with 1 Corinthians 9:24-27… love it
Hey Meg! I am so glad you mentioned that. I am interested on what it means.
Hey girl! Saw you in RW this month – you are awesome! Have a great race today!!!
It suddenly hit me that you said “#38″ – that is insane! In a good way! Thirty eight marathons!!!
I love the tank – might have to buy it, although I did just spend all my money on vacation, haha.
oooooh. Can’t wait to read how it goes. Also can’t wait to hear about the sales on BIC bands and ProCompression!
Now that I have run my first marathon, I am excited to order some 26.2 apparel
Thanks for the 26.2 sale info! Just ordered my tank
Thanks for sharing! I just registered.
I just signed up and posted on my Facebook! Thank you for Sharing!
I am so proud of you, I hope today went well.
thank you!
Just read the next post! You rocked it!
Thanks for the info in the running tank, I am always looking for new ones and this one is a great deal.
Great job on the race. By the way I just noticed your scripture verses with each of your pre-race posts , very cool.
Just ordered my tie-dye tank and it comes with a free tote! Thanks for the heads up on the sale!
Love this racing outfit so much! I just ordered the tank because it’s rad and such a good deal. Thanks for the heads up! Also, thanks for posting about Lora’s virtual race. As a New Yorker, it’s so amazing to see so many people all over the country caring about what happened here and donating their hard earned money to help those hit hardest. Also, congrats on your marathon yesterday!!!
