My Favorite Things Giveaway

Merry Christmas!  I can't believe I even typed that.  Where did the year go?  It feels like yesterday we welcomed MiniE into our lives.  It doesn't seem that long ago that I graduated Grad School.  All these milestones are over and it's time for Christmas.

Let the holiday season begin.  This time of year we bloggers are quick to tell you all about our favorite things in the hopes of giving you some ideas for the runners or fitness enthusiasts in your life.  Take, for example, my guide from last year. Link

This year I wanted to go bigger.  This year I didn't just want to tell you about my favorite things.  I wanted to give them away.  So consider this my best Oprah impression because I am doing the BIGGEST giveaway I have ever done full of my favorite brands that are sure to make the runner on your list (or you) smile big.

 So let's start at the top:
  • ProCompression: Most runners will tell you how nice compression is for long running.  ProCompression has combined form and function with these socks.  
  • Oiselle: These pants by Oiselle are Ah-mazing.  The fit is perfect for running and grocery shopping and just about everything. 
  • Sparkly Soul: These headbands REALLY don't slip.  I personally love the wide bands but you get to pick if you win.
  • Mizuno Wave Rider 17: These are the NEWEST shoes from Mizuno. A great neutral shoe that I love.  You can see my review here.
  • Nuun: Oh Nuun, I love thee. Right now, I'm obsessing over the Cherry Limeade.
  • Timex: My day to day watch is this Timex Ironman Sleek.  
One lucky reader will get outfitted with ALL of this.  So register today and come back everyday to increase your chances to win.

*Actual Timex watch color may vary.

Oh and don't forget to check out these Printable coupons for you to sneak into the runner's stocking in your life. PDF Printable available here for free!

  114. As far as my favorite things... Hmm... I really like SweatyBands headbands (and other similar headbands) - I even wear them to work! It's funny, my coworkers and clients are so used to me wearing funky headbands that when my birthday rolled around at least 2 coworkers got me some more! :)
    Also, SkratchLabs hydration mixes are definitely on my list of favorite things! A lot of sports drinks and mixes make me sick... But this stuff doesn't. I love their Lemons and Limes flavor, and I really want to try the Apples and Cinnamon! :)

    ReplyDelete
  126. My favorite things: my ProCompression socks after a long day and a good run (or a bad run). Either way, I need these in my life. My Injinji socks for the actual run because they're the only socks I've found that keep me from getting heel blisters when I run. My Nike Free Runs because...I've always run in them and I probably always will. Lately I've been thinking I need to try a new shoe because I'll be running my first two half marathons in April, but I'm such a creature of habit. Maybe I'll win this and get to try the Mizunos!!! :) Pepsi Max every morning for my wakeup call, then water for the rest of the day. 3 computer monitors at my desk because I can't imagine having it any other way. My kids, my fiancé, my social media family, and all the people along the way who have pushed me to become a better version of me without even knowing what they were doing sometimes. :)

  157. Balance bar helps to protect against falling. I have actually been buying these New Balance sneakers every year, they are best for my everyday walks.
    I have a challenging foot to sit and have been buying New Balance shoes for close to twenty years. In addition, the shoes squeaked, something they had in common with a previous set of New Balance WW847 (which I stupidly kept, hoping the problem would work itself out; it didn't).
