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:
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:
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.***
I’m linking up with Tara’s Weekend Update – be sure to stop by and say hi!
Hmmmmmm.
I do love love love me some Las Vegas 🙂

You should come Carla! I’ve never been and this seemed like a fun excuse to go 😉
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!
RnR Vegas looks and sounds so fun!

Thanks Amy – I’ve wanted to go ever since I read recaps of last year’s race!
I did the virtual 5K too! Fun promo! Can’t wait for the shirt and it pushed me to get out there for a decent time 🙂 Sounds like a great weekend! Happy Monday!

That’s great that you’re doing Vegas too!
ACK! I’m REALLY thinking about Vegas but not sure if I can swing it this year… what fun that will be, though!

I know I kept debating the timing on this one, but then my husband said he wanted in so that was the nudge I needed 🙂
Oh wow, I sooo want to do RnRVegas! I must scratch this one off on my bucket list soon! I think running at night would be great. I wish more races were at night!

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!
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! 🙂

Thanks Sharon! I really like running in Philly and was so bummed to miss the Philly Half last fall. I’m looking forward to this one!
I think I am going to make it to Vegas!! Sounds like so much fun 🙂
I’ll keep you posted and then we can meet up!
I’ve never run at night before – so should be interesting 🙂
Need to catch up on March Madness – has the final 4 been decided?
Natalie recently posted…Weekend Recap

Whoot! Can’t wait!!
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) 🙂

Sooner or later we will catch up at one of these races 🙂
Yea!! Hope to meet you officially in Vegas!!

Yeah Sue I didn’t know you were going to run Vegas!
ooooh I so want to do Vegas!!!
Philly sounds fun too but I signed up for Brooklyn on the 10th.
I kept getting an error msg for the kick off run upload but I am going to keep trying.
I so wanted to do Brooklyn but just can’t fit it all in – wish they had been more spread out this year.
Michelle, congrats to your son and his team on their tournament finish – that is fantastic! And congrats to YOU on another upcoming race; that is going to be SO exciting! Thanks so much for linking up with the blog!
