Publix Georgia Marathon - 2 Free Race Entries to Give Away!

It's been three days since I finished my first marathon. Am I in pain still? Yep. But am I ready to start planning the next one?

You bet. 

I was considering signing up for a race further from home this time, but there happens to be a pretty great race nearly on my doorstep, and one that I've heard some great stories about. Any guesses yet? It's in Atlanta...this spring....The Publix Georgia Marathon!



The Georgia Marathon is on March 18th, which gives me just over 4 months to prepare. Sounds perfect to me! The field is made up over over 10,000 runners, which I'm really looking forward to. Small races are wonderful, but this is going to be my first city race. It starts and ends in Centennial Olympic Park, and runs through some of the best areas in Atlanta.



The Publix Georgia Marathon was also just awarded the 2012 Southern Region Marathon Championship by the Road Runners Club of America. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me.

Anyway, it's pretty obvious the race is a great one, in an awesome city (nope, not biased at all). But let's be honest here - I want YOU to run it with me! Thanks to US Road Sports, I am able to give away two race entries for those who are interested in the race.

Yes, that's right. Two marathon race fees (which is currently $95, if you want to register HERE) are waived so that I get to hang out with two of you. Alright, fine...if you don't want to hang out or run with me that's fine. But I will make you take a photo with me. That's in the fine print somewhere.

Don't think you can run a marathon? You're wrong. Maybe you have just finished a half and you're ready for the next step, or maybe you are ready for your next marathon of many. Either way, 4 months is plenty of time to get you up and running!

Here's how to win a free race for the Publix Georgia Marathon:
(none are mandatory, but the more you do the better your odds. Leave a comment for each entry!)

+1 Follow Gourmet Runner
+1 Leave a comment telling me why you want to run the Georgia Marathon
+1: Like Gourmet Runner on Facebook
+1: Like the Publix Georgia Marathon on Facebook
+1: Visit the Marathon's Website and tell me something you learned about them
+1: Spread the word! Talk about this giveaway on Facebook, Twitter, your blog, or anywhere else.

That's a lot of ways to win! I'll draw two winners on the 30th of November, 2011.

I also want to organize a blogger meet up for that weekend in Atlanta, so even if you are NOT interested in the race, leave a comment to let me know if you would be interested in meeting up with a group!

    Ummm I want to run this because I'm in a marathon frenzy and it seems like a really smart idea. Duh. And to meet you so we can hang out while I force you to run with me. And to see Georgia cause I've never been.

    Love the Georgia marathon! It was my first half marathon ever and have run it a few times now. Last year I went for the full and loved it (although it does get a little lonely when the halfers split off). :) Can't wait to run it again... Would love a free entry!

I started running to lose weight (I've lost 100 lbs) and I've kept doing it because I love it. So...I want an entry simply because it's another race I can do :-)

    What I learned is that Atlanta is hillier than I thought. Is hillier even a word? lol

Race the Bar 5k Recap (AKA: A Personal Worst!)

Do you remember a few weeks back, when I was all braggy about running in Florida in February/March? Sunny mornings around a lake with a light breeze off the water have turned, cruelly, into humid stretches of time where I am humbly reminded of my own limitations. You guys, I see these gazelle-like creatures, men and women alike, who prance on my running route with compression socks, a soft glow of perspiration at their brow. It's beautiful. It's also a harsh reminder that I am not them. I am currently running in the thinnest, smallest items of clothing I can without offending anyone (shirt stays on, people). I dare not step outside without some awful visor or wide-brimmed hat. When I hop in the shower after a run, my face is a deep crimson that causes my husband to voice his concern for my general well-being. Have I mentioned this is what happens after my easy runs, with a few walk breaks thrown in? Yeah. It's humbling. Now, I'm not complaining. It's beautiful

Brace Yourselves: Cuteness is Coming

One of the hardest things about moving, for me, was wondering how the cats would adjust each time. Although our cats are super travelers at this stage, I feel really guilty every time we have to pack them up and force them onto a plane. I remember my grandma telling me years ago that when she moved with a cat, they put butter on their paws. That way, the cats spent the first day in a new house licking their paws to get them clean, and that was enough time to lose the "smell" of the old house. I love that story, and I wish the same principle applied to longer moves. Anyway, that's a super long intro to say that for the fellow cat ladies out there, our three fur babies are insanely happy in this jungle gym of a home here in Florida. It's warm, there are plenty of sunny spots to curl up a take a nap, and they have lots of room to spread out. Despite the space, of course, they still usually want to take a nap on my head at night. Obviously. They also love climbing on ou

Running Jewelry Giveaway from The Run Home!

Running has a tendency at times to make me feel just a little less feminine that I might like. The curves might disappear just a little (well...the top ones at least. Bottom ones are still out in full force) and I spend more time fiddling with my Garmin than I do putting on make-up. So I love when I can show my interest in running with a beautiful, feminine piece of jewelry. I recently received two necklaces from the great people at The Run Home.   They have an Etsy store full of inspirational necklaces, bracelets and more for athletes. I received this beautiful necklace in the mail from them: A cute running shoe, heart, and a hand-stamped 26.2 charm. In all honesty, I don't think I'll wear this until I have finished the marathon in November. Kind of like wearing a race shirt before you completed the race! But it will make the perfect reward and I can't wait to wear it with pride. The Run Home sent everything to me perfectly packaged--like it was a gift. I loved that:
