    @nascfan Thank you so much! Your cheers absolutely helped! I loved seeing your texts pop up! I don’t necessarily get to read them all during the run. But just having your name pop up meant the world to me! I read them all after the run! My sun burn looks much better today. Allergies aren’t horrible but I have a lot of pressure in my face! :( I’m excited for the 10k with you!!

    @eeyorepoohfan oh good! I’m glad that helps! I don’t figure you can read all while running, especially when I get wordy! LOL I try to keep them short most of the time. I’m glad your sunburn is better! You were looking pretty red last night! I’m hoping the pressure subsides! I feel bad for you!

    @nascfan I tend to glance at them and usually get the gist of the text! But really just seeing your name buzz on my watch is plenty of encouragement! I’m thankful I don’t look like a lobster today! Slowly recovering from the dehydration, sunburn and allergies!

    Does anyone have any experience with the virtual runDisney shorts? I’d like to do them this summer. It says you can complete them on a treadmill, but I’m wondering what kind of proof I need to submit once I’ve done it….

    @bpellinen I haven’t participated in their virtual runs. But in the past, it just worked on the honor system. You sign up for the race and they have a few months window in which they start to mail out finisher medals. You can log on and enter a finish time to print a finishers certificate if you choose to. But if you don’t submit your time, you will still receive your medal. At least that’s how it’s been in the past. If I remember correctly, they will mail the summer medals between June-September. There’s no rhyme or reason to who gets theirs and when. If you sign up for all 3 summer ones, they will mail them at one time. So you could have your August medal before August depending on when they mail yours out. And it doesn’t seem to depend on when you registered either. It truly just seems random. But you should just be able to log into your account and go to your race and submit your time once it has opened up for the race dates window!

    @eeyorepoohfan Ok, thanks. I was looking online about information on virtual races and some of them seemed to require proof of some kind, so screenshots from an app that tracks your runs, or something similar. I was just wondering what Disney would require, since I plan on running on my treadmill, I wasn’t sure how to prove I did it.

    @bpellinen You’re welcome! Disney is pretty relaxed on their virtual races. If you were to register for a half marathon in-person race then you would need an actual race with a proof of time to submit. But they make the virtual fun and easy for people to do! You can even split up the distance over a few runs if you needed to as well! For their in-person 5k and 10k races they do allow you to just put an estimated finish time for your corral placement. Longer races require actual proof. Since the virtual summer series is a 5k they wouldn’t technically request a proof of time. It’s the honor system for them. :)

    @bpellinen no proof necessary for the Disney virtual races. I did them last summer. Well, I started them.
    :smirk:
    Never actually completed all 3 because I was running further than a 5K and I just didn’t want to cut my runs short. Ridiculous, yes, but every time I was out there running, I never wanted to stop.
    :)
    Still received all the medals and other stuff.
    Cool looking medals.
    :up:
