3rd Annual MTA Virtual Half Marathon
November 14, 2019
I ran the MTA Virtual Half Marathon on my birthday, covering 13.1 miles on the track, to support one of my favorite podcasts, Marathon Training Academy.
A virtual race allows participants to run or walk in any location, at their preferred time and pace. Participants can choose a favorite route, run on trails or a track, use a treadmill, or complete this run as part of another race. The options are open, as long the distance is completed.
I decided to run on the track to avoid any potential ice, as well as an opportunity to complete an entire Half Marathon on a track for the first time.
Although there are no official results for this virtual race, I completed my run in 2:03:17.
This was my 33rd Half Marathon and 3rd time participating in the MTA Virtual Race. Finishers of this year’s virtual half received an awesome “I Eat Hills Like Candy” medal and blue MTA trucker hat in the mail after the race. Swag was shipped in early December.
Thank you MTA for telling me I have what it takes to run a Marathon. I also proved that I have what it takes to run a Half Marathon on a track.
