I really wish I had a million dollars so that I could give you all a new pair of running shoes for Christmas this year. Then I could force you to come to San Jose so that we could all wear them at the same time as we go for a run and while we are out running we would stop at all the best food places (mainly ice cream places) to refuel our run so we could run together all day long.
Until I can fulfill that dream of mine, I can give away one pair of my absolute favorite pair of shoes… just in time for Christmas!
The Brooks PureProject line are my favorites and I just got the PureFlow 2s and love every aspect of them. It is a match made in heaven, comfort and lightweight. My treadmill even approved of them.
I am also giving the winner a package of running shoe/running person noodles. Just imagine how happy you would be to be wearing these beautiful running shoes at the same time you are eating a big bowl of Brooks Carb Happy, Run Happy Runaroni.
Giveaway ends on December 15th!!!!
To enter a chance to win your choice of shoe from the Brooks PureProject line (PureGrit, PureFlow, PureCadence, PureConnect, PureFlow 2, PureCadence 2):
1. In a comment tell me what day your birthday is or your favorite animal or your favorite baby or your favorite RUN HAPPY MOMENT.

I can’t choose between my babies on who’s my fav so my fav Run Happy Moment is when I completed one of my mud runs and my 3 year old came running up to me and said “Mama, you’re all muddy.

Donnie
My favorite babies are my 3 & 5 year old. My favorite run happy moment was at a local 10k last year – it was the first race that was close enough, late enough & small enough for my babies to come cheer me on at the finish line – great motivation for a strong finishing kick is two little smiling faces just waiting to give you a sweaty hug :)
Bethany
I have been DYING to try the Brooks Pure line! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Brooks and they are worn down to the bits!
My favorite “Run Happy” moment was as I neared the finish line for the 10-miler I did in August. That was the longest I ever ran and there were tough moments, but to see that finish line, to know I DID IT, was amazing.
Bethany
I just tweeted! Thanks!

Sarah
My favorite running moment was crossing the finish line of my first marathon last year. I was shooting for a 3:20 but totally bonked and ended up crossing the line in 3:35. My dad ran the last two miles with me, and I’ve never been so happy to see a person in my entire life as I was to see my dad, who had already run 13 miles of the course snapping photos. I felt so supported…even at 27, you’re a kid to your parents.
Anne

P.S. I really love your blog and, even though this is my 1st comment, I have been reading for about a year and your love for running definitely helped me make the decision to sign up for the half marathon. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt so proud afterwards… So thank you!!

One happy run moment was last Monday when I came out of my exam at 8pm; I didn’t feel like taking the bus home and decided to walk instead. The walk turned into me running in winter boots (hihi…) for 4 km; I felt so free and good! That’s when I realised that after 1 year of consistent running and completing a half marathon, I finally feel like a “real runner”, wanting to run anywhere I go and knowing that I can :) !
this is the first comment I post on your blog but I read you every day, your posts always make me smile and you definitely inspire me to keep running and to keep trying to beat my times!
