Weekend Update v3

It was another weekend of scrambling between a hockey rink and lacrosse fields – but mercifully hockey season is finally coming to an end, and my son’s team came in 3rd in the tournament!

There was more spring cleaning/clutter clean out – I’m determined to get this project done because I know if … when it finally warms up enough to get back into my gardens I’m going to have zero motivation to be indoors!

I also did a little race shopping/prepping for the fall. First this happened:

885x500_LV15_kickoff_0318151

My husband J & I ran a virtual 5K as part of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Kickoff Virtual Run! I’ve been toying with the idea of running the #StripAtNight for a few weeks now, and then last Monday RnR announcemed that registration is opening on April 1. On Friday night, we decided we’re both going to run, so on Saturday morning we headed out to do our “kickoff run.”

To get runners excited for Vegas, RnR is hosting a virtual 5K – you just run or walk a 5K between now and April 1, complete the form with a photo of your watch/treadmill screen/etc. as proof and RnR will send you a free Kickoff Shirt! So Vegas is now on the fall race schedule (or will officially be when I register on Wednesday)!

And, while I had fall racing on the brain, this also happened:

RnR Philly

I registered for the RnR Philly half which will be in October – very excited for this one!

The rest of the weekend was spent hanging with family and watching some great NCAA basketball!

How was your weekend? Did you watch any of the elite eight games?

***Don’t forget, if you want to run a Rock ‘n’ Roll race this year, use the code RUNATTITUDE015 to save $15 on either half marathon or marathon registration in the US & Canada – unfortunately Las Vegas is excluded.***

  2. That’s so exciting that you will be running Vegas! I would love to do that at some point but I think the whole running at night thing would really throw me off. I’m sure Rock N Roll Philly will be great too. Philly is a great city for running!

    • Honestly Lisa the whole running at night thing was the one thing that gave me pause – as fun as I think it will be I’m sure it’s going to throw me way off!

  3. RnR Vegas looks and sounds so fun!

    • I’ve only done a couple of night races and it always throws me off – I don’t know what to do with myself all day! LOL! I’ll have to work on it before Vegas!

  7. Oh so excited for you, both Vegas and Philly!! I would love to run Vegas one day, timing’s not right this year. I’m sure it will be a blast. Philly is a great city to run in too! 🙂

  10. You will have a good race experience in Philly – the course is very flat! I’ve PR’d there twice (but not in the RnR race) 🙂
