So I know a bunch of D-Cotters have signed up for the Virtual Running Shorts this year. I wanted to start a thread where we can keep track of who’s participating, what date you plan on running, and where. It will be great to see who all is running! Also it might be fun to line up some of our runs to feel like we’re running together! :blush:
You can also share your training, your time, and even pictures if you’d like!
If you’d like to sign up and haven’t yet, there’s still time. You can register here: https://www.rundisney.com/virtual-running-shorts/

So tempted, so torn… That is a lot of money just for medals… They are cool though, and I do love Pluto… But that could be $$$ toward my next WDW trip… Ugh. If the challenge were closed and only 2 were available, it would be much less tempting… But then again, I’d just feel like I was buying medals for doing training runs… Sooo torn!

I understand. In that case I won’t tell you about all the awesome merchandise
June 9, 2017 at 7:47 am #32377I’m doing these too! I’m doing the first one as close to the end of the month as possible, I need to get a little stronger before I put down my time

I’m shooting for either 6/17 or 6/24 for my first 5k. I don’t want to leave it until the last minute in case something happens but I could use more training :p

Think less of it buying medals more like ensuring your motivated. I’m going to check these out sometime today when I get a chance

That’s pretty much my position on it. I know it doesn’t suit everyone, but for me, I’m not sure I would be sticking so strictly to running if I didn’t have three races pushing me. I want to be in better shape overall, which is why I started running, and seeing the Virtual Running Shorts was a way to motivate me to start getting in shape.

I saw… I saw… You’re not helping the case :p So that $142 can easily push $200 :| …

I know. I’m trying to see it that way. But $142 pays for the 10k, and Half in October that I love and am completely unprepared for, plus keep $$$ in my pocket… and knowing I’m disgustingly out of shape for 1/2M preparation would be very motivating.

If you do it on 6/24 I can do it virtually with you!

That would be so cool! :blush:

RIDisneyPinGuy182 XPDespite the quality persuasion by @starbee (you really put on the pressure with the bling and limited release gear) I am solidly saying ‘no’ on the 2017 VRS. I have taken the money I would have spent for the entry, t-shirt, pin, & car magnet, and placed it in a bank account for a future rD/Disney vacation investment…
However, if anyone here wants to try to coordinate a running day for VRS times, I would be happy to try to participate and post my time here. Wish you all luck and enjoy your bling!
June 11, 2017 at 6:56 pm #32738@RIDisneyPinGuy Well, I tried :p if you’re able to virtually run with some of us, that’s basically the same thing and would be fun! way to plan for the future! I’m looking at either 6/17 or 6/24 for my first 5k. Would you be able to do either of those days? It would be around 8am-9am CDT

Both of those are scheduled work days for me , so unless there is some miracle re: the station treadmill, I wouldn’t be able to run the same time as you… But I can try for the same day at least!
