The Run Home Christmas Giveaway!



You might remember a while back I did a giveaway for a necklace from The Run Home. I received a gorgeous 26.2 necklace to wear, but I felt a little odd wearing it until I had actually completed the marathon. Kind like sticking on the bumper sticker too early, you know? Now, however, I wear it any chance I get:



This time I get to give away something a little more Christmas appropriate (it's ok, it's after Thanksgiving, Im allowed now!) - a gorgeous running ornament! I don't know about you, but basically now that running has somehow infiltrated my life, nothing is safe.

I read running books. I wear running clothes. I eat runner's foods. I wear running jewelry. And yes, now I decorate my tree with running ornaments.




This ornament actually surprised me - online, it looks more fragile but in real life it's quite solid, and is really well made. And compare it to the size of my hand - it's big! (AKA noticeable on the tree and everyone will comment, and you can say, "Oh, me? Yeah, I ran a marathon...." Just me?)


Personalized Touch...

You could also use this as a gift tag for a present you're giving to a runner. Because then you would be the best person ever. How neat would this look as a gift tag?

How they get packaged



Debbie from The Run Home was kind enough to send me two "Run" Christmas ornaments, and one will go the winner of this giveaway. Lucky duck! Here's what you can do to win - leave a comment for each to be counted!

+1: Follow Gourmet Runner
+1: Like The Run Home on Facebook
+1: Tell me which ornament you like best (found HERE)
+1: Like Gourmet Runner on Facebook
+1: Tweet, Facebook, or blog about this, and let me know!
+1: Tell me what you want for Christmas from Santa. And don't ruin the whole idea of Santa OR ELSE.

The giveaway will run until December 5th at midnight - Good luck!

    I actually didn't ask for anything from Santa this year... I thought about Christmas for a while and really could not come up with one material thing that I need! I just want everyone to be happy and healthy! Maybe I would ask to have all of my blog friends in one place so I can give each and every one a Christmas hug.

    I want to be "outfitted" from head to toe in the best running gear! That way I have no excuse to get my butt outside once I get the OK from my doc. =)

    This may sound a little silly but all I really want from Santa is Christmas eve and Christmas day off work and to be able to spend it with my family this year :-). Thanks for the chance at winning this great motivating ornament. I mean who won't go out for a run when you look at the tree and it tells you to RUN....

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:
