Virtual Run For Haiti

Got some good junk mail today from mapmyrun.com. MapMyRun and the New York Road Runners have teamed up to put on a 4 mile virtual/run walk to benefit the earthquake victims in Haiti. 100% of the proceeds go to benefit New York City’s Haiti Relief Fund. Cost for Registration is $30. Information on how to participate can be found here, but the basics are that you sign up, do a four mile run, log in to mapmyrun.com and log your results either manually or by uploading a data file through a supported device such as a garmin or polar running watch, nike+, etc… If you’re not familiar with Map My Run, essentially it’s a run logging website (and iphone or blackberry app) that shockingly…. wait for it… maps your runs, and keeps a log, and lets you talk to people and find local running partners and such.

I know there are at least a few folks around the gym that will be training for the shamrock and a half marathon next month, so in all likelihood you’ll be doing some distance running anyway. Make your training count a little more and register for this worthy cause. You must complete your run and upload your results between February 19-24 to be counted. Christian also said that if you participate you can wear a crown around the gym and boss Chad around like he’s your little sister… okay, that’s a lie.

Speaking of Chad, if you haven’t tried an MMAHITFIT workout yet, you really need to try it. He’s promised me I get to punch him 1000 times on Thursday. 1000!!! Seriously, love me some MMAHITFIT, I pummel Chad so much my knuckles are in a constant state of either scabbing over or outright bleeding, I love it!
