42.2K in 42 hours World Wide Virtual Marathon

This weekend was set for the Run With The World 42.2K in 42 hours  races.  I had registered for the virtual marathon.  My friend, Diane wanted to run a virtual marathon this month along the Anchorage Coastal Trail.  So we met at Westchester Lagoon and ran together.  We did more walking, visiting, and picture taking then actual running, but still finished the 26.2 miles in 8 hours. 

It was a perfect day and perfect weather for a virtual marathon.  The trail was beautiful.  First we ran to Kincaid Park then returned to the cars.  At that point we were at mile 19. Instead of repeating part of the same course we ran in the other direction along the Chester Creek Trail.  We saw two moose and had to detour around a black bear that a cyclist warned us about.. Fortunately we didn't actually see him.

Virtual marathons are much more fun with company!  This was my second one during this Covid-19 pandemic.
