It’s Virtually the Best Kind of Race

Imagine running a race with more than 300 other participants all by yourself, wherever you are, at whatever time of day fits your schedule.

That is basically what a virtual race is.

You sign up for the race, which give a portion of the proceeds to charity, they give you a 2-5 day window for you do run/bike/walk your distance.  You choose the location, the time, and the date.  You submit your time to them online and boom you are done.  You still get the swag, a shirt, medal and race bib (depending on the organization).

The beauty is the flexibility and it helps bring people from all over the country together for the event.  This past summer I participated in a Nuun Ambassador Virtual race and we had a Facebook group page where we got to connect online with other participants.  It made it possible for locals to actually meet up and run their races together, and do other runs together as well. Instant running friends!

If you are an avid racer like me you have probably already heard of FitFam (Formally Gametiime).  A great social media platform for racers & runners.  FitFam has helped many organizations put on their virtual races and decided to kick off 2016 with a race of their own!

The FitFam Challenge in January

Menu Plan Monday Nov 9th

I have a PTSO meeting (which is Ian’s school’s PTA) Tuesday night.  Which means the boys are gonna have pizza and I will just have the leftovers.

Since Wednesday is a holiday for the kids and it is also my day off I kinda have a more complicated meal planned because I will be home all day.  It is going to be a yummy dinner and a busy week!

Menu Plan Monday Oct 26th

It looks as though I haven’t written anything since my last menu plan!

OK, so that isn’t exactly true, but I haven’t published anything! My house is a mess, I really mean it looks like a bomb went off in my living room/dinning room. But oddly the boys play room is picked up.

It seems like we have so much going on and it is not slowing down. Halloween is just around the corner but I already am making plans for Christmas events! Not because I’m trying to bypass these wonderful fall holidays, but because time is just flying by and our calendars are filling up.  It really makes me thankful that I took the time to plan out our meals for the whole month!

On Thursday my recipe calls for cooked chicken, so when I go to work I am going to throw some chicken breast in the crockpot with some broth and they will be ready to shred for my casserole when I get home.
