2 Cool Giveaways -

Hey Chris K.  if you read this here's something you will like:

2 Giveaways that are not girly.

1.  Jess has some NUUN and Nike shirt for one lucky person.

2. Dorothy at Mile Post has 2 AUTOGRAPHED copies of Run To Overcome by Meb Keflezighi

I am telling all of you to increase my chances but really I don't need you to participate of course!! I kid, I kid.

Today I did a 4 miles run on the treadmill...I also tried another energy product..5 hours Energy.  Bill came home last night and said he had met a marathoner at work and this guy told him I should try it.  So far nothing bad happened.  I always test this stuff at home first just to see if my stomach can take it.  Only took a little bit of it. Not the tastiest (is that even an English word?) stuff...I needed water after.  It does go down better then the gels that is for sure and that is a big plus.  Tomorrow I might try it again before I go for my 3 miles run and see how it is but I am thinking I should just stick with water on Sunday.

This is what I am reading this week for inspiration.  I know the story by heart but I love reading it again.   He will be the one I think about when it gets tough on Sunday.

From the website:

Synopsis

HOOD TO COAST follows four unlikely teams on their epic journey to conquer the world's largest relay race. The film captures the love, dedication, and insanity of the every day runner as well as the excitement, pain, and humor of the unprepared first timer. Their stories are reminders that no matter who you are, you can push yourself beyond where you thought your limits were.

Each year 1,000 teams (12,000 runners) in 2,000 vans cover 197 grueling miles as a relay, putting themselves through an arduous physical journey that as an individual would be impossible.

Some run to test their personal limits, some to overcome personal obstacles, and others leap in blindly looking for a way to shake up a complacent life. As we follow four teams from their preparations through the big day, we realize that winning isn't everything in a film that takes a celebratory look at personal motivation and attempting the extraordinary.
