This week, I participated in a VERY sweet race.

The 2020 Virtual Allstate Hot Chocolate 5k- Oklahoma City through BibRave, to be exact!

First of all, let me get this out of the way.

I would’ve LOVED to do this race “irl” (wouldn’t we all?), but I tried my best to still make this a sweet experience.

First, I planned to run this in a place that I don’t normally run in.

Having treadmill trouble definitely helped with this step and I ended up running in a near-by school playground!

Second, I set up “stations” at every mile containing a different element of hot chocolate so that, by the end of the race, I would have everything I needed to build the perfect cuppa!

Lastly, I saved my swag until after I’d finished the race as a reward!

Moral of the story?

You can make every run a little sweeter with some simple switches.

I can’t wait to run one of these races in person one day (maybe with some of you) but, until then, enjoy this video and STAY SWEET!
