100 Follower Giveaway

Woo Hoo!
Thank you all for helping me get to 100 FaceBook Followers!

I have an awesome first giveaway, thanks to Nathan Sports.
They were kind enough to send me some products to review and giveaway.

Check out the Trail Mix!


"The only bounce-free, easy-access, fully-adjustable, two-bottle belt out there."

I love this belt.  It's great for my waddles (you know, those jog/walk/semi-try-to-runs)  and I love to wear it hiking!  It has a good sized pocket to fit most everything you need on your journey!

Thanks to Nathan Sports, I'm sending one of you lucky ducks a Trail Mix too.

Zzzzzzz. o.O

Oh, sorry.
I was trying to catch up on sleep.

October is seriously kicking me in the rear.  I have a full time job and two part time jobs.  I'm not complaining.  Nope. It's just hard to fight the anvils attached to my eyelids.

I have no time to workout.  I guess you can consider than an excuse, but I seriously sleep any chance I get.  Working close to 80+ hours a week, there is nothing else I'd rather do but sleep.  Wouldn't you?

Here is where my problem lies.

I signed up for 4 virtual races a few months back.  All.In.October.

I have the medals for 2 of 3 already.  The fourth is a group "fun motivational virtual thing".

3 of the 4 are 5k races.

1...which I just realized, is a 10k.

I've never gone farther than an 8k before.  What was I thinking?

Sleep or race?
Sleep or race?  (In my case, race = run/walk...mostly walk/jog...penguin shuffle type thing)

 I don't have much time to get these in, so I guess I better start soon.

Does dreaming about racing count? ;)

Who do you run for?

I wanted to post about this great group I belong to.

I Run 4. 

I stumbled upon it while browsing a Facebook group about Virtual Runs.  As soon as I read about it, I knew I had to join.

Run for those who can't.  Swim for those who can't.  Bike for those who can't.  No matter what you do, just MOVE...for those who can't.

I Run 4 was set up by an outstanding gentleman who matches runners up with those with special needs.  You maintain a relationship online, sharing stories, posting photos of your journey.  The rewards are immense. 

I was matched with my buddy after waiting about a month.  The wait list has extended greatly, however, in this case, it's a good thing.   Well worth the wait.

My wonderful buddy, Junior has to face many challenges but he never lets that hold him back.  Junior is enjoying life to the fullest, and loving that I get out there and move for him.  *Waves* Hi, Junior!

Check out the I Run 4 website here to get more information and to get involved.  You won't regret it.
