So how goes the EA Sports Active 5K training? Are you training? You are training, right? Because the run is in 10 days. Of course you’re training, and you’re totally ready to go!!
Are you sitting there staring at your screen in disbelief, having not a clue as to what I’m speaking of? Well, go read this.
Okay, now that your memory has been refreshed, let’s talk about this Sisterhood Virtual 5K. How are you doing with your training? You should be on week 4 of the EA SPORTS Active 5K training program now, running a solid 25 minutes. How’s that going for you? Me, personally? Today I ran for 33 minutes. Well, I ran for most of those minutes, logging in 2.5 miles (running, I KNOW!!). So basically, I’m not running fast enough to complete 5K (3.1 miles) in 25 minutes, but that’s okay. It’s totally okay for you to take longer for your run. Trust me. It’s even okay if you’re not able to run the entire 5K. The important thing here is that you are ACTIVE. You are moving your body and burning calories. Don’t get discouraged if you’re not there yet, because you still have 10 days to push yourself. You can get there!
If you haven’t signed up for the run, go here. NOW!! It’s not too late to join us, I promise! You can even walk it! Thank you.
Remember, the Sisterhood’s Virtual 5K (in conjunction with EA SPORTS Active) is on Sunday, November 8th. If that date doesn’t work for you, we’re totally flexible. Just try to get your run in sometime around that date. Take pictures, or have someone take pictures of you, carry your iPhone or Flip and make a video, even! Have fun with it. When you’re you done and you’ve caught your breathe, we want you to blog all about it and tell us how you did and what you thought!
Okay, moving along to an exciting announcement!!!!
A couple of weeks ago, I made this video and submitted it to EA SPORTS Active. They were looking for people to participate in a challenge for their new More Workouts Game. Really, Melissa nagged me to do it, and I’m so glad she did. She even promised me I didn’t look like a total dork, but I’m sure she was lying through her teeth…..
Well, guess what?! I was selected to be one of the challengers! GET OUT! I know, right? I thought my video was embarrassingly lame, but apparently I had that Hollywood charm (and post H1N1 sexy voice) they were looking for! I am one of 12 challengers, and we begin working out on November 20th and the challenge runs through December 31st. SIX WEEKS! I can hardly wait to start. I will be blogging on the EA SPORTS Active website and here about it!
You want to know the awesome thing? YOU can join me in this challenge. I know we’ve got lots of challenges going on right now, but adding in the EA SPORTS Active More Workouts will be so easy! It’s only 30 minutes, and if you do that in conjunction with our Globetrotting Fitness Challenge, you’ll certainly be hot for the holidays. Am I right or am I right?
The EA SPORTS Active More Workouts will be released on November 17th, and I’ll tell you a little secret, we might be giving away a couple of copies during the month of November. Shhhhhhhh. If you don’t win one, I highly recommend that you trot right out and buy one as soon as they’re released, because HELLO, it’s fun AND it’s a workout. Shyeah!
So let’s recap (I really need to do this for me more than you!):
- 5K training is in full swing!
- Our virtual run is on Sunday, November 8th.
- Our next fitness challenge begins on November 9th!
- I am an EA SPORTS Active for Life Challenger!!
