Spartan Giveaway

-

Hey there Spartan racers and aspiring Spartans!  I have some exciting news for you today!  Spartan Races have teamed up with NBC to bring obstacle racing to everyone's living room.

As you know, I'm training for my first Spartan race this fall, so I am quite excited by this to see what some of the obstacles are like!



At the Spartan Race World Championships in Killington, Vt on 9/21, NBC will be filming 8 professional athletes and 4 everyday Spartans.  This will result in a 90 minute special that will be aired on NBC Sports Network on 10/19.  I cannot wait to see this!

Even better is that you could be one of the everyday Spartans selected to be part of the TV special!  Pretty cool, right?  If you aren't registered for the Killington Spartan, there is still time!


If you are interested, Spartan has opened up a Spartan Sprint at the World Champion Weekend in Killington, VT on 9/21 at a special price for $40.  Register here. The price is only good until 8/17.  

Or if you miss out on the $40 deal or want to do a different Spartan, I have a link that will get you 15% off any open heat in a Spartan race for the 2013/2014 season, here.

Or, do you like how this keeps going on and on?  Trust me, it only gets better!

You could chance your luck and try to win a free pass right here on my blog!  That's right!  Spartan has given me another free pass to giveaway!   It's really simple to enter, all you have to do is tell me which Spartan you would like to do if you won in a comment below.  The list of Spartan events are here for your reference.

    Okay too cool! I'd want to do another Super or Sprint. I'm pretty iffy on the Beast since I'm pretty sure I told myself that one Beast was enough after my last one! I'd love to do any in Canada...although the one in Hawaii....oh my yes!

The (Wright) Right Socks for ME! + Giveaway

Socks are very important to a runner.   If they rub you the wrong way, it will make for a very uncomfortable run.  Bunching up, toes too cold, too hot, rubbing - all things that can go wrong with a sock.  I'm sure there are some other scenarios I've left out. Thanks to Tom and Kim at WrightSock , I had the chance to try some of their socks out.  Since I wear a size 9 and my size is borderline between a medium and a large, Tom thought it was best for me to try out   both the medium socks and the large socks. I was sent the Running II Double Layer Socks and the Merino TRL Double Layer Socks to try out.  I've never tried out double layer socks before.  Sometimes I have worn two pairs of socks in the winter, but there has been a lot of rubbing which has led to some unpleasant blisters.  Yuck. First up, Running II sock, retail price $12.00. I tried out the medium and large in the quarter sock.   I wore the mediums for my 12 miler with the girls on New Year's Da

Meet Sarah & Kelly   They are the women behind Spandits.   Spandits is a Maine company specializing in creating high quality, original athletic apparel.  Both of these women are amazing.  They are mothers, running coaches and marathoners.  They know running and what feels good. the label - on my capris, it is located just below the knee I came across their store on Ward's facebook page a few months ago and immediately fell in love.   I have gotten quite bored with my plain black and gray tights and capris.  Yes, they match just about any top, but there's nothing special about them at all.  Now, Spandits is all about special and original.  They stand out in a crowd and definitely get quite a bit of attention. Kelly was actually Ward & Wade's high school track coach.  As long as I've known the guys, I've been hearing stories about their amazing track coach.  Last Sunday, I finally got the chance to meet her and her partner, Sarah, at t

ArmPocket Review + Giveaway

One of the must haves when running is my phone.  I run with it for safety and of course, to stop and take a picture.  You never know when you'll see something great on the side of the road or when I have to take a selfie.  Runner priorities. I had this old arm band for the original iTouch I bought Ward years ago, so I've been using that running armband for my iPhone.  Well, sometimes.  It's horrible.  It's hard to get my phone in and out of it.  It's not water resistant at all.  And there's no room to carry other things in it.  Very frustrating. Which lead to me simply carrying my phone.  With my hands.   And I was okay with that.  It was quite easy to take a picture because I already had the phone in my hand.  But there was one problem.  A pretty major one and I didn't even notice until my brother-in-law saw me running one day and asked me why I didn't use my arms when I run.  Hmmmm......   I thought I was using my arms.  I have many pictures
