Scooby Doo Virtual Run And Other Race Dilemmas


This weekend I did my second virtual race of the summer–the Scooby Doo Virtual Run. This is one of many 100% virtual races that have become so popular in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pelothon 2020 Week 3 Workouts

Week three of Peloton’s 2020 Pelothon challenge was a marathon, not a sprint. The challenge goal was to do any Peloton workout on 5/7 days. As hooked as I am on Peloton, it should come as no surprise that I earned my badge by Friday.

Reading the fine print, I see that while I’ve earned my “challenge” badge, I won’t get the “special events” badge until Monday.
