| Undies blown off from me telling a few peeps about the giveaway---Told you. |
T-minus 10 days until I'm toeing the start line at the Baystate Marathon. Correction--actually closer to 9 days at the moment--and I certainly won't be toeing the line, I'll be hanging in the way back dancing around in a trashbag-because this Texan will be freezing her ass off in New England in October.
Yes, I lived much of my life in New England--however, I've acclimated to this toasty Austin weather quite well. Call me a pansy, I'm cool with that.
Briefly--Taper had been...fine, I guess. I am just feeling like I'm not doing enough--though I'm told this is totally the norm, so I'm trying to roll with it. Though, I was told I should only run 7-8 miles for a long run this week...and..I did 10. I'm too stubborn, I guess. That was yesterday and NO problems whatsoever today, so I think I'm fine. Going to try and do something like 5-6 tomorrow then we're really going to gear down, doing a couple more 3-4 milers until I hop the plane to New Hampsha.
So, I'm doing this. Yes. I just have to remind myself a few times a day.
To blow my wad early and celebrate, me and the AWESOME folks at Road Runner Sports have teamed up to giveaway something fantastic to one of my readers...
I love, love, LOVE RRS--and they've sent me some awesome gear from their own line that have been great. Two of my faves are their compression capris and this fabulous hoodie WITH THUMBHOLES---love that shit!

| After Sunday's run-a hot mess, as always. |
Not to mention, that RRS gear has great quality and far more affordable then a lot of running gear I've come across. They have tons of stuff for you gals--AND your guys, too. Not to mention GPS watches, socks,foam rollers, fuels, and ALL THE RUNNING SHOES EVER(which you have 90 days to run in and return if you don't like 'em!).
Plus, if you hook yourself up with their VIP membership--you always get super quick free shipping and an everyday discount--it pays for itself the first order--seriously.
You guys know I don't promote anything I don't believe in--and I actually tell everyone that asks me for gear advice to check out Road Runner Sports.
"So, okay, Krissy, what's the giveaway?!"
Okay, dude, how's a $100 giftcard to Road Runner Sports sound?! Pretty friggin' sweet right?
I've included a few different options for you to enter--see below, nothing crazy--I'm just pumped to giveaway such an cool prize. Entries need to be in by 11:59PM on Halloween, because I'm going draw this puppy on November 1st!
You can enter with each option, EVERYDAY--so be sure to get on that :)

Happy Marathon Giveaway, everyone, and let's hope I'll actually finish it ;)
Go Fork Yourselves,
Krissy
