Doo Good Virtual 5K Recap!

Happy Friday friends! I am definitely glad it’s time for the weekend. This week was a bit busy for me but I was able to get everything done and still have my sanity! I hope your week went well. One fun thing about this week was that Snowflake and I finally finished the first race in the Scooby Doo Virtual Race Series: Doo Good 5k! It was a blast to be able to run this race with Snowflake. She is a pitbull mix so while she isn’t really made for long distance running, girl can definitely sprint! The weather has still been on the warmer side so we decided to break it up into segments throughout the month to get it done!

You may be asking yourself: what’s a virtual race? Well, it’s a race that you can run whenever you want, wherever you want! It’s really a cool concept and if you want to run with your pup, it’s even better! Snowflake LOVES people and is super playful. However, she can get a bit nervous around a BUNCH of people. I mean, you would too if you were only two feet tall and surrounded by giants! Being able to run with Snowflake in our own neighborhood made it a really great experience.

The way we accomplished our run was by breaking it up into half mile segments per day. I tend to walk with Snowflake a few days a week but I really wanted to wear her out so I dressed appropriately and we did sprints! I picked areas without too many distractions because it’s not fun when you’re running full speed and she suddenly hits the breaks. Luckily, we didn’t have any wipeouts this time! Snowflake and I were able to take advantage of the nicer weather and knocked out our 5k in six days. The great thing about the Doo Good 5k is that it ran through the whole month of September so all participants were able to get out with their pups and get the miles in!

I love anything that has to do with dogs but the reason why I decided to participate in the Scooby Doo Virtual Run series was the fact that a portion of the registration is donated to the Best Friends Animal Society. Being able to spend some time with my pup and help other pups really makes me happy. Plus, being able to wear out my little Snowflake is a plus!

Feel like this is something that you’d like to do with your pup? You’re in luck! The Scooby Doo Virtual Run Series continues in October! The Scoobtober Virtual Run is a 5k or 10k you can compete in with your pup. Feel free to sign up and join Snowflake and me as we run our miles. With the fall weather coming in, what do you have to lose?! You can also use code BIBRAVE for 10% off your registration.

Let’s join together to have fun with our pups as we raise money for a good cause!
