I love working out with people. Among friends and family, I'm pretty sure I've earned a reputation as a workout freak by begging those around me to workout with me. The only problem: Some people don't want to work out all the time. Go figure. My solution: Get online and find people who do!This week, I stumbled upon Fitness Collaborative. They're hosting a virtual half marathon between July 15th and August 15th. How awesome? I don't even have to beg people to workout with me - because there's a whole network of people doing it together! Oh-My-Gosh-Like-How-Perfect-Is-That?!?!?!
Okay, you might be thinking "HALF MARATHON? You're off your rocker! Aint no way Imma run 13.1 miles at once." Okay, Fair enough, my friend. Here's my response: "It doesn't matter!" Fitness Collaborative asks you to run a total of at least 13.1 miles by August 15th. To put it in perspective, if you were to start today, that would be less than half a mile a day...
To make this even better, THERE ARE PRIZES! (Now I've got your attention, eh? Maybe I should have lead with that...) If you finish by August 15th and submit your info by the 18th, you're entered into a random drawing for some awesome fitness and running-related prizes. And get this: your running times don't even matter! It's completely random.

K, so... who's doing it with me?! Leave me a comment and let me know you're in! Or add yourself to this if you're a fellow blogger...
I am so in...running already so I might as well account for it and maybe win some prizes. Put it on my blog and linked your blog too.

I am in because I am always looking for ways to keep my motivated to work out. I think prizes will do the trick.
ReplyDeleteI am following you (not like a stalker) and have linked to this post.
I'm in, Workout Buddy! I'm pumped to get started today! WOOHOO! <3 your blog btw :)
ReplyDeleteIt's me again. I promise I'm not a crazed blog stalker LOL
ReplyDeleteI ran my HTH Virtual Half last weekend and doing another this weekend! I added my blog post to the linky :)
I'm hooked on virtual races as fun twist to my marathon training.
I wish I could be in, but to run in the Texas heat...no way! I've run 2 half-marathons for real though, I think you're totally capable of a half! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in ... just have to figure out the whole 'entering' thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog...Love, Love, Love it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Fitness Friday!

I'm in and 3 miles left to go but I can't download the excell sheet. Can I just email you my times and pics?
ReplyDeleteHi Carly! Love your blog. I will give this a try although I've never been much of a runner. I'd always like to be one, though!
ReplyDeleteLove the virtual races! I am in.
ReplyDeleteI'll do it! I love finding people that want to run with me - virtual or otherwise!!
ReplyDeleteFound you on the blog hop! Thanks for sharing the 1/2 marathon info!!
This almost feels like cheating since I have already scheduled long runs the next weeks... but I am in!
