Gettin’ it done, every day in 2020. 🏃♀️ As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I kicked off 2020 with two running challenges:
Virtual races and challenges seemed odd to me at first, but thanks to social media, apps, and hashtags they're interactive and fun. I love seeing where other people run, and watching them reach their goals. I’m headed into Loop 2 of the 465 Challenge. (Of course, I made a video. I wanted to see if I could make an emoji car 🏎️ travel I-465.) It's interesting how much a virtual race (or two) can help me find my way back to fitness after slacking over the holidays.
I'm determined to get in at least 4 loops by Feb. 29. I have two Best Damn Race Half marathons in February to help me reach that goal. Woo. Hoo! I registered for the 465 premium challenge. That means I'm earning a medal and shirt for my efforts. Registration is open until Feb. 29. There's a discount and picture of the medal on my Race Discounts page. My first in-person 2020 race is next weekend. It's one of my faves, the St Pete Beach Classic. I don't expect to run fast since I'm not fully trained, but I feel better overall thanks to the challenges. 🏎️ 🏎️ 🏎️ #RunnerMotivation #Motivation #WeRunSocial #FloridaRunner #PretendToRunIndy #RunIndy #ThisOldRunner #465VirtualRunChallenge #465BR #OptOutside #Bibchat Vision Event Management is helping people maintain healthy resolutions with the inaugural 465 Virtual Challenge. Between Jan. 1 and Feb. 29 participants are challenged to complete 53 miles of exercise, the distance of the loop I-465 forms around central Indiana. The idea is to motivate people to continue to exercise long past the usual 2-week lifespan of a resolution.  Run 53 Miles Between Jan. 1 and Feb. 29, 2020I'm in for the Inaugural year of the 465 Challenge! I know it's going to help me stay motivated for my upcoming races. On January 1, participants receive a tracking form from the race organizers. Track your exercise on the form and submit it when you finish your 53 mile loop. Join a Team for added motivation. I joined the BibRave Team. There's also a 465 Challenge Facebook Group. 53 miles in 60 days works out to less than 8 miles per day. 7.75 miles to be exact. You can do more than one loop of 53 miles if you want. For example: • 24 Hour Club - Finishing 53 miles in one day! • Looper Club - Complete more than one loop! People who challenge themselves even further will get shout outs on socials.  Choose a Registration OptionThere are two registration options: Premium and Basic. Premium registration costs $39.99; finishers receive: • T-shirt • Medal • Bumper Sticker • Race Bib • Certificate of Completion Basic registration is $24.99; finishers receive: • Bumper Sticker • Race Bib • Certificate of Completion Use code: BIBRAVE to SAVE 10% OFF either option. Learn more and register at 465challenge.com. A Social Virtual RaceRemember, it's a VIRTUAL RACE: that means you can complete it on your favorite road, trail or treadmill or pool. Walk, run, bike, skip, crawl to reach 53 miles. Vision Event Management will send frequent emails including encouragement, updates on how many miles participants should have completed and a suggested training program. Be part of the larger community of runners by sharing your efforts and progress on social media. Tag @465Challenge and use the hashtag #465Challenge. Follow the hashtag on Instagram and Twitter to see how everyone is doing. Registration Ends on February 29, 2020Not sure right now? No worries. You have until February 29 to register. But it'll be much better if you get motivate right now!
