My favorite food is mac n cheese!
I’m just coming back from injury and testing out the brooks adrenalines and loving them so far!
Rebecca Best
My favorite food is probably french fries-extra crispy! I love to run because it is the only time my brain is quiet! I am always thinking and worrying and running allows me to just focus on what I am doing in that moment. I love Brooks Ghost.
Nicole

I was just browsing for my next pair of Brooks earlier this week, so this is exactly what I needed to see today!
Chylie Hutchison
My favorite food is a soft pretzel with cheese sauce. Not the healthiest but is so delicious! I have only recently joined the running world- a few months back, and I love it because it is a huge stress reliever, but also very rewarding when I hit new milestones. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

I love to run because it makes me feel free and a big break from life when potentially things are just getting a little too heavy. Thanks! Love your blog.

Oh snap! Why do I love running? Because I get to leap around in the snow for a 5 miles and call it a sport :) Wisconsin perks!
Susan
My favorite treat is ice cream or gelato. I love to run for the feeling I get when I’m done!
Kelli
❤?Hawaii ?❤
Becky Luke

Florence O'HARA
Hi Janae,
I read your blog every day and draw motivation and inspiration from it so much :)
I would LOVE to win a pair of Brooks (you cant buy them where I live :( )
I’m currently in half-marathon training and hoping to be ready by september :) I only started running last April and have fallen in love with it :)
Florence
Caitlin
Hey! My favourite food is Mexican Food! Can’t get enough cilantro! I would love to win some running shoes for my daughter who just started on a track and field team. I just had to buy her spikes and I should probably get her some good running shoes of her own, since she just keeps borrowing mine (and they’re getting to small for her ?)
Thanks so much for the opportunity
Florence O'HARA
HI there :)
Just shared this giveaway post on facebook :) :)
Fingers crossed- would love a pair of Brooks for my first half marathon race later this year (nice-Cannes in France) :)

I love to run because it is such a stress reliever. I like to go on my lunch break to reset my work day. I love the Brooks Pure Flows!
Karen Veloso
My favorite candy is red licorice..I like to run because then I can eat a lot of it :)

Tasha Bunch
Hi Janae! I LOVE that you are always thinking of others and doing giveaways like this! My favorite foods (yes…there’s more than one) are basically anything Mexican covered in cheese dip…and ice cream. I think I love ice cream more than you love doughnuts. I could eat an entire half gallon by myself (not that I have or anything)
Rebecca
I have been reading your blog for so long now. It’s really wonderful to read about your new love and your sweet little family. Congratulations!
Nancy
Running is hard. After a run it makes me feel proud of myself. There are few times when I feel that way.
Alyssa
Hi! Favorite food post run: banana with peanut butter…. even though it sounds like i’m a toddler haha :)
Ariana
Hey Janae!
I love running because it is hard and happy and sanity saving all in one. I can’t run right now until I strengthen my hip flexor up again, but I’m looking forward to doing a race by next year hopefully
Becky
Hello! I love running because it helps clear the mind and I always seem to have all my problems solved when I’m done with my run!
nathan
I love ice cream
Lisa
I’m not that great of a runner. Tried a few marathons and half marathons but was frustrated that I don’t seem to ever speed up. I run now to have one early morning hour to get in my “me” time. Yours is the only blog I read every day! Thanks! PS Bree Haynie is my husband’s cousin. Fun to see her on here from time to time!
Jessica
I tweeted about the giveaway!! First time on twitter in a long time!! :)
Megan Towey
I started running just over a year ago after my husband ran his third half marathon. I was reading the race program and started reading a story in it about a middle aged female runner who was a gynecologist…She runs the Houston marathon and can barely finish the race every year but she runs because everyday she see’s patients who cannot run anymore due to health reasons and she runs for women who cannot. I’ve always been an athletic type and played soccer in highschool over 10 yrs ago but just running was never my thing but her story inspired me to start running towards better health for myself and also for women who can no longer run. Just ran my first half marathon in Houston a few weeks ago which was a goal I had set after reading her story. I’m interested in starting some trail running this year and looking forward to improving day after day!
Sandra
New shoes ? I love your blog and I love crunchy nut butters ?

My Favorite food is boiled Crawfish with crawfish dip. (equivalent to your “Fry sauce” ) :)

Mary
My current favorite food is mango salsa. It reminds me of summer
Happy Thursday!
Stephanie
You’re so motivating when it comes to running! I took a break from it the last few months of 2016 as I was finishing grad school and commuting, and then I was sick at the beginning of 2017. Thankfully, I am feeling close to normal again, so I should be able to get back into running soon! I love the Brooks Adrenaline as I don’t have great arches.
Kami
I want to be a runner sooooo bad but I’m out of shape and pregnant… soooo I NEED to win the shoes so after baby in a few weeks I can get my butt out and run!
Stephanie
I’m currently not running due to an injury. My chiropractor discovered that my kneecap doesn’t track correctly. We’re working on strengthening the muscles next to the kneecap. I’m going crazy not running. Hawaii looks amazing!!
Kerri Ivey
I love running because it gives me time to think! And let’s me burn off calories so I can eat burrito bowls. They are my absolute favorite. LOL!
Sarah O
I love running because it burns off extra energy I have from my desk job. It also clears my mind and makes me happy! I’d love to win the new running shoes!
Tanya
Love and only wear Brooks! Running a marathon tomorrow, on my birthday, because ours was cancelled this past Sunday due to bad weather. They gave us our medals and told us to run it virtually so in order to hang it proudly I am running it in the morning! Wish me luck!
Ashlee L
Hello! I love Brooks and am ready for a new pair! ;)

Hello! I feel like we would have the exact same food preferences, sweet potatoes are a staple in my diet. My boyfriend tells me I’m going to turn orange someday. :)
Hanne
Your vacation looks amazing! It makes this Scandinavian girl REALLY look forward to spring and summer. I hate the winter… Which is a tad impractical considering where I live :)
Lyn
Hello! Love to run because it helps me sleep better at night and just makes me feel better overall.
Jamie Wilhelm
I love running because it lets me get out and see beautiful sunsets, sunrises, and the world! It’s also kept me fairly sane. :)
Taylor Johnson
I love running because it keeps me in shape for my job working on the ambulance as an EMT! :) It also clears my mind from long and stressful shifts!

Anna

Jean
I also posted it on facebook.
Molly
Potatoes and oatmeal are my favorite foods. So easy to make and very filling.
Hannah
My favorite foods are Avocados, Pistachios, and Goat Cheese. Would love to win these shoes- I just had a baby and am working to run races again post-baby. I am up to 30 min running and am in need of new running shoes for sure :-)
Elizabeth
Gosh, Janae. I just love your blog! I’d been following for a long time (before Brooke) before I fell into a hole of “no running”. Then I bounced back and your blog was one of the first things I wanted to reincorporate into my life. And then there was this precious little child in your life. :)
I’ve just moved and am slowly introducing new daily practices into my life on a weekly basis. Like I first started tracking my calories a few weeks back, then started yoga and meditation, then Bible reading, and either running or swimming next week! No job for me yet, but I’m making steps to become healthier.
And “hiii!!!!”
Debra
Hello! My favorite foods are potatoes & cheese! I’m pregnant right now & really craving bagels!
Mary

Nan Lujan
My favorite food is definitely peanut butter meltaways. I have been running for almost seven years and I absolutely love it. Outside of my family, it is my favorite thing. Brooks are one of my go-to brands. I wear the Ghost and Ravenna.

My favorite food is pizza. I make my own at least once a week and use a vast array of toppings. To me, a pizza dough is a blank palate to which anything can be added. I love to experiment with different combinations of ingredients.
Kendra D.
My favorite food is Chilis chips and salsa! My next favorite is Sour Patch Kids :) I run because it is better than therapy or at least cheaper!
Kristen
Running is my escape!
Amanda
You got me into my first pair of Brooks several years ago now (Pure Cadence) and even though I have some other shoes I switch up with they are still my FAVORITE shoes forever! :-)
I’m so glad you all had a fun time in Hawaii – it’s been down to the low 40’s here in So Cal the last few nights which seems positively FREEZING to us lol!
I love your blog so much, your humor and light (and running and snacks!) always make my day!
Mendi
Lovely picture! Reading of a Brooks give away reminds me of my stepfather and how he always had two pair of Brooks that he switched between daily. What an awesome way to share awesome shoes!

I LOVE running with my RunBuds, a fabulous group of women who have taught me so much about life and friendship, none of which would be possible without Bull City Running who have helped create this incredible running community!
Kyle Pennell
I’m desperate for new running shoes!
Jen
Ice cream is my favorite thing to eat. I love to run because it is the only part of the day that is just for me. I don’t have to answer anyone’s questions or doing anything for anyone but myself. It helps me to be a better Mom and teacher because of that :)
Sarah
I’ve never had Brooks running shoes before but this seems like the perfect opportunity to try them out!!!!! :))))
Jen
Tweeted about the giveaway!

I love roasted veggies with salmon and brownies and ice cream. I run to clear my head and to stay healthy. Love the blog!
Brooke
I love your blog!!! Fav food right now is def HaloTop Icecream birthday cake flavor!

I love to run because when I take my daughter with me in the stroller she’s so encouraging! When I slow down to take a walk break she always says “Mama! Ruuuunnnnnn!”
Emily
HelllooOOoooo!! Have a great day!
Alex
Hello! I never actually owned Brooks shoes. My favorite food is acai bowls. Your Hawaii pics made me so hungry.
Megan
Brooks was my first love when I got into running a few years ago. Since then I have switched to Saucony. I just started making the switch to triathlon training from predominately weight lifting for the last 18 months and would love to give Brooks another go! Thanks for the give away!!
Heidi
Hello! I loved the guest post from your mom. She is SO sweet!
Running is the best because I get a huge boost of self-esteem and confidence every time I finish a tough run. :)
Heather
Your blog is my favorite thing to read!!!! I am super hopeful I will win these shoes… I love to eat and I cannot narrow it down to one thing. Salads are my favorite everyday meal. I love your little family.
Sherry
Sure hope I win…I could always use more shoes!
Karlie
Have a half coming up in May and a new pair of shoes would be a big blessing!
Christina Feldmeier
Hello. Live and run in Florida humidity. Squeeze them in around my kids crazy schedules.

I’d love to get some! I got laid off from my job at the running store and I need new shoes!

just getting back into running – a new pair would inspire to keep it going! I’ve scheduled a 1/2 this summer- lots of work to do! Great giveaway!
Tiffany Nieves
Hey! Love your blog and instagram! I started wearing Brooks to run in when I came across your blog recommendations. I love them! I just ordered the Hyperion’s! I’m excited to try them out! I love running ! It just makes me a happier person! I also love cafe Rio tostadas. I could eat one every day and be very happy!
Lily
I love to run because I love to breath in the fresh air of the outdoors while feeling powerful and getting stronger!
Kelly D
Hello! These shoes look great.
Alexis
I love your blog! It inspires me to want to get faster :) I envy your speed! Ha Anyway I love running. It’s cheap therapy. I’m a high school teacher and well it’s hard. I’ll have a rough day, come home, throw on my running shoes and within minutes I’ve calmed down and can get through another day in the classroom. Oh and I also love bean and cheese burritos (because you asked what our favorite food is).
Eva J.
I’m a Brooks girl through and through. I have run in the Launch, Ghost, and my current favorite the Glycerin. Currently training for my second marathon and Brooks has not let me down.
Alexa F.
Favorite food: Gyros.
So good.
Liz William
I love running in my Brooks sneakers!! It’s the best therapy in the whole world, especially when I am running in Acadia National Park. Love those carriage trails!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Terry Stevens
I would love a new pair of running shoes as mine are pretty ancient.
