The last six months have been different, to say the least, when it comes to running and working out. For many of us, including myself, we’ve had to dig deep to get off the couch, we’ve had to look for ways to lock in that accountability, find creative ways to keep making fitness fun, and get used to getting high-fives, positive vibes, and goals accomplished virtually. Virtual Watermelon Watermelon Walk Jog Run

I’ve been entering virtual runs and workout competitions, attending online fitness boot camps, and exercising at home with whatever “equipment” I can round up (check out my Full-body Watermelon Home Workout). This past weekend, the time of year I usually start ramping up marathon or half marathon training but not a “real” one on my calendar as of yet).
