GARMIN 10 GIVEAWAY!!!— CLOSED!!!!!

We were pretty darn boring last night. We had leftovers for dinner and somehow I messed up the cornbread even though all I had to do was add water, that takes talent.  We ate while watching the 49ers and then Billy spent more time reading while I cleaned the kitchen floors.  How did we get so cool?

Today we are giving away a GARMIN 10 to one lucky reader.  This watch is pretty darn incredible and you can read my full review here.

You know how I usually model the products I give away myself?  You are in luck today because I hired Brooke to model the garmin instead (don’t try to wear it on your bicep like Brooke does). 

At first she was quite nervous and a little shocked that I asked her to do something so important.

 In this one she is actually even trying to point to the Garmin to show you how fashionable it is and how you can wear it all day long and not just when you are running.

And then she got grumpy and gave me the evil eye because she found out I wasn’t paying her anything but milk to do all of this modeling for me.

“Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it’s all about.”
-PattiSue Plumer, U.S. Olympian

I think this quote best sums it up! The challenge!

I run to get rid of stress, for some alone time, to model for my daughter that being healthy is good for you, to challenge my limits, to stay healthy…and so many more reasons. :-)

Running make me feel strong and once I get over the initial this sucks I love it…especially when I can push for the extra mile! I feel accomplished once I can do that.

I run as my recovery goal from an illness. Year one was to get well enough to walk 30 mins, next year, run a 5k without stopping, this year half marathon!

I run because it’s my me-time, and I run because I can! I also love to find new routes to explore NYC so having a Garmin would be fabulous! xo

Reply

I run because it fills me with a sense of strength. Whenever I give it that little bit extra, I always feel accomplished, and proud of what my body is capable of. That motivates me.

Reply

I run because I feel most like myself when out on the roads. It’s easy to stay motivated because it’s something in my life I look forward to, whether it be a solo long run, a easy fun run with friends or pushing myself on race day.

I have a few friends that are doing their first half-mary in a few weeks and this would be a perfect gift for one of them. She has been wanting to get a GPS watch but no money to do so. Problem solved!

Reply

I run because it helps me deal with anxiety without having to take any medications! I feel so much more in control when I run consistently and push myself to go that extra mile.

I run in the river valley by my house. It’s so beautiful there! I am motivated to run the extra mile just by knowing it will help make it easier the next time I try to run longer distances.

I run for stress relief! I also love that feeling after a long run. I ran my second half marathon this year :)

I love running because I get extra time with my kids and with their busy schedule it is a plus. On Saturday morning’s I get to run with my son who is 10 and on Sunday after church and Sunday school, my daughter (14) and I trail run! SO a garmin would be great on those days!! Now during the week I run that extra mile for me! Since my husband had a heart attack last year I knew I had to step up to the plate and be the fittest and the healthiest!

Reply

I love to run just to get the best out of myself! Setting goals and achieving them is so much fun. Also my family and coaches, etc support is awesome so i also want to thank them & make them proud :)

I run because it makes me happy! I was never athletic and I never thought I could be a runner. I started with 5k’s, decided to try a 10k, and just ran my first half marathon two weeks ago! Running makes me feel invincible, and not feeling guilty about dessert is awesome too :-)

Reply

I run to keep up with my 9 month old and to ensure he grows up with an active lifestyle!

Reply

I run because it is me time! I always get through that last little bit by reminding myself I have run this before and there is no reason I can’t do it again. Also, I remember my loved ones that have fault health battles, what they go through and then I feel like running another mile is nothing compared to what others battle every day.

Oh, and I follow you on Twitter!

I run for all the people who cannot, I run for those who wish they could, but most of all I run for myself. Nothing beats a stressful, crappy day better than a run to clear the mind!

I’ve been training for my first marathon… the NYC Marathon. The motivation to make it to the finish line kept me running the extra mile, but now, even though the marathon didn’t happen, I’m even more motivated to run. I love the feeling of being in shape, and I want to keep going! I see many more marathons, NY or not, in my future! :)

I run to get faster. In my mind one more mile = a better race come race day.

I started to run because I have a very competitive spirit and really wanted to beat the pants off of a certain someone. But a strange thing happened, and I started to LIKE it. It felt awesome to run 8 miles with no problem. That was 9 years ago. Now I run to keep up with my 3.5-year-old twin boys and my husband, who at 38 is in the best shape of his life. My goal is now to beat HIM at a half marathon in the near future.

I run because I love it- it has helped me see my body as a blessing and something that needs to be strong rather than something that has to have the perfect figure and be too skinny!! I run that extra mile because I know I can and I know if I am blessed to have a strong body that is able to run, I have to push myself for myself and all those who do not have that privilege!

Why do I run? I’ve always joked that running keeps me from stabbing some people with a fork LOL. Seriously – it’s a great stress reliever and it makes me feel like I can do anything!!

To run that extra mile – I say “it’s only another 10 minutes!!”

I originally started running to help with weight loss. I couldn’t run for more than 1 minute on the treadmill without feeling like I was going to pass out. Also, everything in my body hurt when I ran. I kept at it, and have lost 57 pounds (it took me a while, 3 years) I have since run many 5Ks, 8Ks, and 10Ks. I decided to really challenge myself… I have been training since July for my FIRST HALF MARATHON – which is in less than two weeks! Needless to say, I have become a lover of running. I am motivated to go that extra mile because I am amazed to see what my body is capable of doing. I can’t wait to keep adding more miles as I continue on my weight loss journey! :)

I RUN because my HEALTH is PRICELESS….after losing 100 lbs…my goal was to RUN in a 1/2 marathon to reach confidence and new levels of STRENGTH…. I never knew I had.

I run because I love the feeling of accomplishment once I’m done! And it’s a great way to clear my head and sort things out. Anytime I have to motivate myself for the next mile, I just think of how AWESOME I feel every time I’m done!!! I never regret a good run!

I tweeted as well for the extra entry :)

I run because I love it, and it is an excellent way for me to have “me” time. Recently my husband and I moved away from all our friends and family to a really small town. I work from home in our tiny apartment. Running is the only time I ever really get away from the house!
