If you're sad because your race was cancelled, here's another option for you. #StepWithDes  Disclaimer: I'm promoting the FitnessBank Step Challenge as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews. Join Des' Spring Step Challenge: April 1 to May 31Fitness Bank partnered with Des Linden for a Step Challenge so non-elite runners could workout (virtually) with Des Linden as she trained for her Boston Marathon. The Boston Marathon, postponed until September 14th, isn't the only race that isn't happening. If you're an enthusiastic racer, your Spring races are cancelled or postponed, too. You may be asking yourself, "now what?" and "How can you stay motivated?" I know I am. Well, this step challenge is one way you can stay motivated without a race on your calendar. Keep reading to learn how to join. Download the Free FitnessBank AppTo track your miles and see how Des Linden trains, download the FitnessBank Step Tracker App before April 1. The app syncs to your Garmin, FitBit, Apple Health or Google Fit tracker. You don’t have to open a Fitness Bank account to participate in the Challenge or Groups. The fitness tracker app is 100% FREE. The FREE FitnessBank Step Tracker App is available in the App Store and Google Play.  Join the ChallengeOnce in the app, under FitnessBank Challenges to find DES' SPRING STEP CHALLENGE. (See graphic below.) Select the challenge and join! You'll see your name listed with all the other members of the challenge group. The challenge doesn't officially start until April 1st, so your steps tally won't show in the challenge until then. Once the challenge begins, the FitnessBank app adds your steps to your total and ranks the challenge members.  Warm Up in Des' Running ClubYou can warm up for the official challenge by joining Des' Running Club Group. You'll see there are plenty of people in there already, tracking their daily move goals. The Running Club group can help you get familiar with FitnessBank App before the real challenge begins! Start Tracking Your Steps: #StepWithDesThis is my second challenge with the FitnessBank App. I like it a lot. It syncs to my Apple Watch and tracks my movement all day, week, month. I don't have to download or upload any information, it's already there. It's fun to check each day and to see where you are in the standings. Although you don't have to open a fitness account to participate, the app shows your current percentage rate each day. There's a definite thrill when I drive up my APY rate because of my workouts.  Two Ways to Win PrizesBeyond staying motivated to walk, run, jog, and move each day, you have chances to win prizes when you participate in the challenge! FitnessBank, Des Linden, and Brooks Running are giving away great stuff. You could win Brooks Running Shoes, Race Entries, Autographed Posters, and FitnessBank Bonus Steps.

Now That You're Motivated, Get Moving!I hope you'll agree Des' Spring Step Challenge is a good way to stay motivated during this odd time in the world. You can track your steps inside or out — on a treadmill or a walk around your neighborhood. Do whatever feels best and safe to you. Whatever you do, keep moving. There's no doubt that exercise relieves anxiety and depression. It makes us feel better both physically and mentally. I'll see you at the starting line of Des' Spring Step Challenge on April 1. Good luck and stay safe! #FitnessBankBR #BibChat #DesLinden #KeepShowingUp #BostonMarathonTraining #FitnessChallenge #StepCheck #FitnessBankStepChallenge #WeRunSocial #SRTT #RunFlorida #RunBoston #InstaRunner #RunnersofInsta #BibRavePro #FitnessBank #RunHappy #FitnessBankChallenge #StepChallenge #OptOutside #VirtualRacing #SocialDistancing
If you're like me, you had plenty of races scheduled for March. Running in Florida in March in the best! The bad news is most races are converting to virtual runs. The good news is it's Florida and WE CAN STILL RUN! I'm thankful to Veteran's Alternative Copperhead 5K and The Florida Run @Colt Creek for giving us the option to run virtually. It makes the most sense. We've trained and want to run. They've already spent money on medals and swag. Let's Do This! Now, the hard part is staying motivated, and running the races. There's no doubt lining up with hundreds of runners at a starting line improves motivation. The challenge now is to stay focused, run virtually, and plan races for later in the season. I'm thinking about opting in to a few new races that switched from IRL to virtual — races far from home that I couldn't run in person. If you're inclined, I'd encourage you to do the same. It's a nice way to show support for race directors. Simple reminder — be patient. While some races are offering virtual options, remember they're also in the middle of converting all the registered runners. Expect everything to take longer. In the meantime, practice #SocialDistancing and good hygiene. If we're diligent with both, we can avoid the worse outcome. But, everyone has to work at it. Here's a quick and concise explanation of why social distancing is a vital defense against the COVID-19 virus. This is way bigger than any one of us. Good luck, everyone! I hope to see you at the race starting lines in May! #SocialDistancing #COVID-19 #ValsparChampionship #VeteransAlternative #Copperhead5K #TheFloridaRun #FloridaRunColtCreek
