Happy Anniversary, Tricia! |
Secondly, I'm having a visitor next week so please check in and see who came to visit and what shenanigans we got ourselves into!
Thirdly, my sister is currently visiting and I'm spending the weekend having a little extra fun. Instead of my usual weekly recap, which is honestly not very interesting right now, I'm dedicating this post in support of Kristy from Runaway Bridal Planner.
Some of you may know Kristy, especially from her Grow Your Blog or Giveaway hops. I had the pleasure of meeting her at the Utah Valley Half Marathon. She's run an impressive number of marathons in her quest to run in all 50 states. She recently completed the Grand Canyon Rim To Rim To Rim challenge. To say she is a busy gal is an understatement! On top of all this, Kristy returned to college to obtain her Recreational Management degree. Very appropriately, she chose to create a virtual race for her thesis project.

Do you know what a Virtual Race is?
Runners, walkers or even hikers sign up for any distance they want to work towards as part of a goal. The best part of virtual races you pick your own course and distance and you get to go at it at ANY pace you prefer. Maybe you shoot for a PR or a slow enjoyable pace you enjoy, it's completely up to you! For your efforts and completion and just like a regular road race, you will be provided with a race t-shirt and beautiful unique finishers medallion to show off your accomplishment to your family and friends.
Love great race bling?
Sea to shining Sea has a beautiful unique finishers medallion you can earn here is a glimpse of the design. (Note: the actual medal will be a nice quality heavier nickel metal about 3 inches wide with a navy blue splash of color.)
With Virtual Races YOUR possibilities are endless.
Why enter this virtual race?
* Use it as a training run for a fall race you are gearing towards.
* To motivate you to stay active or to become active.
* Compete against yourself.
* Compete in your own way with no restrictions, run during the time of day and day of the week that works best for your schedule.
* It supports American small businesses, medal creation, and t-shirt screen printing all done by American based companies. In addition, the event project itself is for a college thesis project so you'll be helping a runner get her Recreational Management degree!
* To earn a new medallion to add to your race accomplishment displays.
Want more competition?
There are group discounts upon registration. Get your family, friends, or your co-workers together for a fun challenging way to stay active and earn a fun medallion award.
