Countdown to Chicago Giveaway Series

The miles have been run, the successes have been enjoyed, the challenges faced, the hours running remembered and the heat endured. Now, I'm counting down the days to Chicago 2011!

Over the next 2 weeks I will be hosting a series of giveaways. The first of which starts 9/25/11 at 12:01 a.m. EST. Enter to win a set of 2 Sweaty Bands.

Perspiration turned into fashion. Sweaty Bands are the ultimate sports and fitness headband, uniquely designed for women and girls who want to show their style.

I was fortunate to have been able to visit Sweaty Bands at the Air Force Marathon Expo. Admittedly, at first I was skeptical about finding a headband that actually stays on and doesn't slip. Guess what? The testimonials are true. The headbands stay on without even the slightest bit of tugging on your hair. You don't even notice you're wearing it. I've found them to be perfect for any workout whether it's running, strength training for kickboxing. 

The Muddier the Better!

Running in the mud is one of the reasons Alec prefers trail runs. 

In the beginning...clean and make note of the fact that he is wearing 2 shoes.

 

In the end...muddy and no longer wearing 2 shoes. 

 

Even with the one-shoe finish he once again beat his personal record! Happy and not the least bit concerned about the shoe that was left behind stuck in the mud :)

 

 

And one of the judges.

 

Good times!
