Kickin' Asphalt - A Virtual Running Community
Our Story:
In the Summer of 2009 Leslie Witham and I started running together just for fun. And then stepped it up a little when I talked her into running the Manchester Marathon which took place in November of that year. Shortly after the marathon my husband and I relocated to South Florida putting an end to what we called the "26 Point 2 Wild and Crazy Girls" running routine. We still run "together" and motivate each other via Bluetooth, Run Keeper, Facebook and text messages but hadn't made our virtual running routine official until now!!!
In June of 2012 Leslie made a goal to run a half marathon, in New England for every month until the end of the year. The only problem was... she could not find a half in the month of December. She put a post on Facebook asking if she should do two in November because she wanted to do an official half and not just a regular run. As soon as I saw her post, my thought was "Let's do a Virtual Half Marathon in December! That way we can get others involved, I can participate from my hometown and share/celebrate this goal." Before I knew it Leslie took the Virtual Running idea to the next level and created this amazing running community on Facebook that we manage together.
Now we are able to virtually run together and you get to join us too! We have events for all different levels and will be constantly adding to the list of our virtual events so make sure you check out our event calendar and like our Facebook Page. Join the event(s) that best fit you and run, walk or even cycle "with" us!! We are open to any suggestions that you may have; this community belongs to all of us, not just Leslie and I.
