April is going to be my time to Log Off, Shut Down, and Go Run! Tomorrow is the last day to submit miles for the Rock n Roll Las Vegas Virtual run, so I plan to do that. If you haven't done that yet, get on it. You get some cool swag! Also, Lacey and I have been invited to do the Log Off Shut Down Go Run Virtual 10K race with Gone For A Run! Who wants to run that with us?
Here's how it works.
Register by April 14th
The race will take place April 24-26.
Since it is Virtual, you can run it anywhere of course.
Your registration Fee will include a race tank or tee, a bib, a finishers medal, and a cool car magnet.
After you completed the race, post on social media for your chance to win more great prizes from Gone For A Run.
Interested? For more info check it out at HERE.
I figure this will motivate me to get some more miles in before the Tinkerbell half Marathon in May!
Do you ever use virtual runs as motivation for training runs? -M
We are linking up with the gals from TOTR.
Since I'm building slowly this spring, I really like the concept of virtual races. I may not be ready to do a 5k comfortably before it gets too hot, but I can do the distance inside.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know about this one, I'll definitely be signing up. I signed up for a couple other virtual runs for early April to help with some training runs. This is good to keep the momentum going in April
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to take that time off in March to run. I've been doing a lot of tweaks to my blog to make things better too...it can be a lot of work! The virtual race sounds cool!
ReplyDeleteHope next month is a bright one for you as you return to running. It is hard to not be able to do something you love. I have done a couple virtual runs, but none for a while. May have to check them out again!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy virtual races as some extra motivation too. Thanks for mentioning the Rock and Roll Vegas one, I didn't realize they were doing that one again.
ReplyDeleteI need to look at the specifics.. .>I know that weekend I have a wedding so it will be minimal running though :(
ReplyDelete... & I just registered :) I can do it the Sunday after the wedding
DeleteBlog looks great! I love virtual races. Hope your injury is feeling better! I am right there with you :)
ReplyDeletei just did my first virtual run for the jeff galloway 13.1 and really liked it. I signed up for a new one in the Spring and Fall-the Nerdy Hallows which is 3 races and then you get medals for all of them!
ReplyDeleteI've never done a virtual race, but they seem to be so popular lately! It's cool that you get gear and prizes with it, but I think I'd prefer an actual race where I can push my pace and be motivated by others. I don't have the discipline to race alone!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'm on the lookout for some local runs.. finally brushing off the ol' sneakers and getting back into a jogging routine!! <3 - www.domesticgeekgirl.com
ReplyDeleteI have done a few virtual races, for me, I like doing it for charity, etc but it never feels like a race to me, more just a training run, I need the motivation of a lot of others around me but good luck and have fun!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a big fan of virtual runs, not sure why...But I did do the RnR one :)
ReplyDeleteI totally need to do my 5km for the Vegas virtual run. I have ran but forget to record it and send it in. I'm glad I still have one more day.
ReplyDeleteI hope your ITBS and Tendonitis is doing a lot better!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I can't wait to get out there and run pain free. I hope that's sooner than later.
DeleteWoo hoo for getting back out there! I hope you get a bunch of pain free miles done and that you love every moment! Thanks for linking up with us today!
ReplyDeleteHere's to a great April! I've never done a virtual race. Eek!
ReplyDeleteCool opportunity. I usually don't pay for virtual runs though since I always run on my own for free.
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks nice! That virtual race sounds great! I may have to check it out. I'm all for logging off and shutting down and could definitely use more running!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that you are STILL plagued by these injuries Meranda. Will we see you on-line at all in April? (I sure would miss you.) Slow and steady wins kid!
ReplyDeleteI like virtual runs and I think they make great training runs- love it when I can find a virtual 10K! this is the same weekend that I am running the half in Nashville!
ReplyDeleteHow is it I didn't not know you had tendonitis? I knew about the IT band issues, but somehow I missed that.
ReplyDeleteI hope this month helped, really fingers crossed hope that it was exactly what was needed!
You know, I have never done a virtual race before, not that I am opposed to it, I just have honestly never thought about it. I didn't even know they existed until about a year ago:)
