A neighbour kid asked me today when I was running. . . "are you training?" I enthusiastically answered "I'm always training!" I am pretty sure she was confused, because she knows I am not doing Ironman this year. . . but it is true. I think we need to always be training for something - just meaning that we are focused, we have a goal, and we are getting stronger. . . .
Ok, so I saw this medal the other day . . . .
and my first thought was . . . oooooh shiney! This is the 10 mile finishers medal for the 3W Races Westminster Women's Classic! Its an extra $12 for the medal option but........... I mean this medal is pretty, blingy and shiny!!!!!! So Shiny! I also thought to myself - man the Cardston Kids Marathon is a GREAT DEAL!
I then proceded to check out the website and realized that it was a virtual race. . . . what is a virtual race you ask?
How it works is - you sign up, they ship you all the stuff, and you do it whenever you want to! They would like it completed at the latest by 48hrs after their race date, but you can do it any day, anytime, anywhere, run, jog, walk or wog, with a friend, in a group, or by yourself. . .
So this got me thinking again. . . is anyone interested in doing this with me? I am thinking of doing it in May - probably close to Mother's Day - you know - run like a mother on Saturday May 11! Oh ya! We don't have to start at 7. . . . or you can! I haven't worked out those details yet....
Check out the link. . . . think about it. . . . send me a message if you would like to join me for this mothers day 2013 - run like a mother run!

I checked out how much the race would cost . . . and I was fairly pleased. $19.95 + 1.25 basic fee. If we organize a group, we can get a group price. . . (I think it is $2 off each participant, if we get 5 or more in each category) nice. Here is the t- shirt - cute!
So I think this is the plan . . . We will register by April 11 (anyone who want to do it with me), or register anytime on your own, for either the 5k, 10k or 10 miler. Giving us a month to receive our stuff. So here are the options.
5K - $21.20 = gets you the above t-shirt, a race bib, entry for prizes when you submit your completed 5k race time online.
10K - $21.20 = gets you the above t-shirt, a race bib, entry for prizes when you submit your completed 10k race time online
10 Miler - $21.20 (optional $12 for the shiney medal, making the optional total $33.20) = gets you the above t-shirt, a race bib, entry for prizes when you submit your completed 10 Miler race time online.
