The premise of the Columbus Blue Jackets Virtual 20K was to run 20 Kilometers (thats 12.43 miles) in the span of 20 days. Given my lack of experience in terms of running, I made the smart decision not to run all 20K in one shot. I started with my first run on January 11, running just shy of 1.5 miles. Here we are on January 19th, and I have finished this event and submitted my results. Speaking of results: Here is how this went down:

• Dates Run: January 11, 12, 15, 17 and 19, 2021
• Starting Line (Overall): My Home
• Finish Line: Dexter Falls Park, Columbus, OH
• Overall Time: 2:28:47
• Overall Distance: 20 km (12.43 mi)
• Overall Calories Burned: 2,031 kcal
• Average Pace: 11:58/mile

I was incredibly proud of my effort while I was running this event, as I went forward, my pace improved significantly, especially over the last two runs. As always, I have some room for improvement, and will get better as I become a better runner.

Now that this is over and done with, I am now looking for my next virtual run event to participate in. I have set a start date for whatever comes next on February 1. In the meantime, I have plenty to work on, including working on my mental health.
