August 2020 5K a Day: Week 2 Virtual Events Recap

August 16, 2020 in Virtual Race Reports

I'm trying to complete a 5K a day runstreak (or walkstreak) this month. My aim is to have each 5K (or longer) be some kind of "event", from free online challenges to organized virtual races plus a few DIY runs.
