Chilly Cheeks virtual 5k Race Report

hi every bloggie!

Whoa. Yes it's me and I'm posting again. Can you believe it? 

Actually today I wanted to tell you about my virtual #ChillyCheeks 5K race that I ran this morning. See lots of runners start running for many reasons. This dude Big Andy started running for his health but also to help fight cancer. Big Andy was sponsoring a virtual 5k today to raise money for the American Cancer Society. But wait, we were able to do a double whammy. By using our CharityMiles app to track our 5k miles, we also helped raise money to help Stand Up For Cancer. 

Ready to go. 
It's early, about 6:30am.
20F light dusting of snow. 
Reflective vest on. 
Check.

Because there was a snow dusting, I had to put on my Musher's secret. 
Gotta protect my paws.

See?  All waxed up and ready to go. 
Check.

Okay here we are at 3.1 miles!
We stopped at Jericho Skill Hill 
and just in time for the sunrise.

It's starting to rise!!! 
Oh I'm suppose to lookies behind me.

We actually ran/ walked up the ski hill to get a better view, but momma was using 2 tracking apps at the same time on her iPhone and it sucked up her battery juice.
The battery died right when we got to the top. 
Bummer.

Well  here's us again.
Forget Chilly Cheeks, my fur beard was frozen.  See?

Oh and my post race medal was Dunkin Donut Munchkins.
Yup... Yummers.



It was cold and chilly but all so worth it .
