I'm NUMBER 1! Oh. So is everyone. |
There was no freezing for my "Freeze Your Thorns Off Race." It was a lovely 48 degrees - which is lovely running weather for this time of year. I felt pretty good out there and was very proud of my split from about mile 3 - 10:
Happy that I was able to really pick up that last mile - and on the way back I was running in a pretty good head-wind... Uphill. on one leg |
In other news…
My Saucony prize package came this week. In case you hadn't heard, here's something to be super jealous of, I won a $500 GRAND PRIZE from Saucony's "Find Your Strong" Facebook Sweepstake! Right!? Best win eva!
Anyway - so the loot came and this is what I got:
squeal… 3 pairs of new running sneaks! |
And I also got arm sleeves, a mask/neck thingy for when it's super cold out, a warm headband thing, compression socks and running pants.
Loving all my stuff! Thanks Saucony! :)
Hope you're enjoying your weekend.

Nice job on the virtual race (and 10 milers :)) - woohoo!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, holy jealousness over here on the Saucony win - LOVE Saucony shoes (just ran the marathon in the Cortana and the Kinvaras are my other favies). Enjoy your loot! :)
Congrats on the good run! And enjoy the shoes, such an awesome win!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill and Jo!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I really didn't believe anyone won those contests!? LOL
ReplyDeleteI know, Jess! I used to whine, "I never win anything" and it used to be true. I could flip a coin with one other person and lose 20 in a row! But lately my luck has changed.
ReplyDeleteWhen they sent me the "congrats" email, I almost didn't open it - it said "Saucony Grand Prize Winner" or something… I just assumed that wouldn't be me but I'm glad I opened it! Just about died!
I NEVER WIN!!! But I keep entering the ones I want to win in the hopes that someday I will.... I'd actually rather have a line banging down my door to ask if they can sponsor me...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on both scores! Negative splits :)
ReplyDelete(clicking tongue) Lucky.
ReplyDeleteI still don't fully grasp the concept of negative splits.
Jen - you mean there's not a ton of sponsors knocking down your door!? They are missing out if they aren't. But sponsors. Ahhhh- how nice that would be.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria! :)
Fricken Fab, I'm pretty sure that negative splits just basically means that you get faster every mile of your race or run so in a 5k it might be 11:30, 11:28 and 11:00 -
That is so awesome that you wont that!! looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteShutUP!! You got all that stuff? I mean heck, I'm happy for your race splits, (faster than me by a looooong way) but I am green with envy over your loot, haha!!
ReplyDeleteWay to score girl! ;)
Still so awesome winning all that stuff!
ReplyDeleteWTH!!! that is some awesome loot you won there. JEALOUS!
ReplyDeleteI know! I still can't believe my good fortune! So excited! :) Thanks for the comments, peeps.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the virtual race! Enjoy the awesome Loot!
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy jealous of all your new Saucony gear!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the virtual race!
