Now that summer is here I'm sure we are all excited to finally be outside in the warmer weather (especially after what felt like such a long winter)). I believe that people as a whole are more active in the summer because of all the activities you can do when it's nice outside such as hiking, biking, and of course running.
I was recently talking to a friend about this and she said that summer was harder for her. After giving her
a puzzled look I asked why and she explained that yes she was active in the summer, but in addition to being outside, you also have graduation parties to attend, picnics, cookouts, campfires, etc, which always results in indulging food you may not normally have in other situations. I never really thought of it that way, but she definitely made a good point.

What are your plans for over the 4th of July weekend? I'm sure it involves some type of get together with food, family,and friends. Why not start by getting a good run in before you indulge in all the festivities later in the day with the All 4 Run 4 Mile Virtual Race. It's the latest Virtual Race that Gone For A Run has launched.
It looks like a great Race Series with awesome swag! Your race packet will include a women's tank or men's T-shirt, a great medal, a real race bib, and a car magnet. I've done a few of the other Gone For a Run virtual races and the swag really is great, just like what you would get during a "Real" race.
You'll have to complete your 4 miles between July 2 -5th. I'm going to try again to get my "Bad Ass" runner friend to join me for this one since he is doing much better now.
If you want to join in the fun you must register before June 22 in order to get your packet in time! you can register HERE.
So grab a few friends because you know running with a group is always more fun!
Me! Me! I'm doing this one too!
ReplyDeleteI've signed up for this one as well! A fun, additional, way to celebrate the 4th!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for this one! :) Love all things patriotic!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun!!! I've only done one virtual run to be honest...and the money went towards the wounded warrior project.
ReplyDeleteIt feels so rewarding to run when the money goes to a good cause. We've done a few of those too.
DeleteSounds fun! I might need some extra incentive to get out there 4th of July weekend and this sounds like a good option :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you sign up! I got my swag today and it's great!
DeleteNice swag for the virtual run! I wish more races would have a tank top option in the summer. I have so many tech shirts from races (long and short sleeve), but no tank tops!
ReplyDeleteYes, I too wish more races would give out tanks. That's all I run in during the summer!
DeleteGreat swag! I don't know if I could do 4 miles by that time but I'm loving all these virtual opportunities.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I need to do this just because I've done all the other races. I don't want to miss out on a medal now :)
ReplyDeleteNope, ya gotta have this medal for your collection!
DeleteCan't wait to run this race in a couple of weeks! The swag looks so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThe swag is great, and I love that tank. I've never done a virtual race or a 4-mile race. Might have to do this one!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think the tank would pair up nicely with a red running skirt, don't you?
DeleteLooks so fun!
ReplyDeleteSome years in the past I have done 4th of July runs, but it's been a while. I do like to watch my niece and nephew run the small country town ones, so fun to watch kids compete:)
These virtual races are pretty cool! I loved the 10K that was a couple months ago. May have to consider this one...
ReplyDeletesounds good to me!!!!
ReplyDeletei'm doing it! I'm kind of in love with that tank!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! We're visiting family for the Fourth weekend and I love running with my cousin so I will sign up for this! (I'm a sucker for a cute race tank top).
