Virtual Run Your Own Race 5k For Girls On The Run

by


Race bling is a huge motivator and a badge of pride. I love my first Princess Half Medal; I struggled with Plantar Fasciitis on that course and have never been so proud I finished a race. I love virtual races. Sometimes for a long training run, or running when temperatures are not ideal, a little bling is a GREAT motivator and reward. My friend and fellow ENELL ambassador Jill at Running With Curves is hosting a Virtual 5k in January – Run Your Own Race. Its complete with a  some glittery bling – hey GOTTA have the glitter!

Proceeds from this virtual race benefit Girls on the Run, an organization which promotes running for girls in elementary school third grade to eighth/  Our local elementary has a chapter and I cannot wait until Mini Me can do this next year!  We made signs to cheer the girls on their practice 5k run in our neighborhood last month.

If you have thought about taking up running, a virtual 5k is a GREAT goal.  Hey, just download Couch to 5k and start moving during the holidays and earn your January Bling. Not new to running but need some motivation to get in 3.1miles during cold January…here ya go, a medal is always a nice reward. I think Mini Me would LOVE her own medal with some glitter too!

Run Your Own 5k is a Virtual Race for ANY time in January – run, walk, combo whatever! You pick the day and course, run a 5k and then log your time to Running With Curves. You get in return your gorgeous bling AND a chance to win an ENELL Sports Bra or Manifesta cropped or Capri tights. Hey bonus, random drawing for some FABULOUS running gear.  For details and to sign up, had on over to Running With Curves.  Sign up this week if you are interested as prices go up in December.  Thanks Jill, so for supporting getting girls to run!

Have your run any Virtual Races?

    Thanks Julie! I think my husband and I are going to join in! I don’t need the bling, but I would sure love to win a pair of those Manifesta capris! I think this is a great way for me to set an achievable goal to get back to running.
