The Hungry Runner Girl: GIVEAWAY

Monday, February 7, 2011

GIVEAWAY

Speed Day Monday: I love doing my speed day on Monday because my legs are screaming for a run after a rest day:) It was hard peeling myself out of bed though...wouldn't that be awesome if there was a magic pill that made getting up in the morning feel good and super easy? My dad is an inventor...I will tell him to get working on making that asap.

Today I did 13.1 miles, 1% incline in 1:29:21.....that is 3 minutes faster than last week and I feel pretty good about it. I guess speed training and hill workouts are helping!

I did mile repeats throughout the first hour of the run (anywhere between 6:10-6:45) with 800's at a slower pace (anywhere between 7:00-7:24). For the last part I ran at a 7:01 pace....I do need to work on some negative splits though.

Call me a weirdo but I love the end of a workout where I feel like I am going to puke. I know that I pushed myself past what I thought possible. What should my goal be for my 1/2 marathon in 19 days?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically, I am obsessed with you guys and I want to give you a lil sometin sometin but we are poor so I can't give you a treadmill or a kitchenaid.....fast forward 4 years until Billy is done with law school and my giveaways will be off the hook.

Boys, I am sorry it is super girly but you can always enter and give it to your wife/mom/gf/sister/random person on the street if you win.

To Enter:

1. You have to be a follower (my mom looks at how many followers I have every day and I want her to think I am really cool).

At February 7, 2011 at 4:32 PM , Amanda (Eating Up) said...: My favorite workout ever is when I get to go spinning with my sister. We went a few times this summer in NYC, and I loved working out with her. I also love swimming!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:34 PM , Ever Strong said...: im a follower. i need lotion bad. this winter is making me all dry haha.
At February 7, 2011 at 4:34 PM , Spencer Family said...: Favorite distance is the half marathon. Though I've only run it twice. I love that it's hard but yet totally doable and you don't feel wiped out after. Oh and candy? Reeses PB Cups. Though I ate almost an entire box of Mike & Ikes today. I was channeling my inner HRG--now I just need to put in some serious miles on the treadmill. :)
At February 7, 2011 at 4:35 PM , Nano said...: I was so close to being the first comment! Is Swede fish candy? i thought it was actually fish? Now I am confused!

Fav workout-hills. I love hills because you feel like a ROCKSTAR when you overcome it.

Will you send me something if I win? i live kinda far away....

Aim for 1.24-1.26! You can do it!!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:35 PM , Maria said...: Oh my gosh, yum. Swedish fish are THE BEST. My favorite race distance is the half marathon

At February 7, 2011 at 4:37 PM , ShortSkirts said...: Speed Demon!

My favorite mileage so far I think is 5-6 I love my longer runs, because I can now get to Interlaken and some really gorgeous roads to run along from my place!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:37 PM , Rose @ Eat, Drink, and Be Meiri said...: My favorite distance is 5 miles, which sounds odd, but it's the length of this amazing trail loop by my office, with a wicked hill (I call it the Death Hill) right in the middle, and amazing scenery, and oh man, it's a loop that makes me want to take running back to middle school and get it pregnant.
At February 7, 2011 at 4:37 PM , Maria said...: Also, I follow you!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:37 PM , Raina said...: OK now that I got that excitedness out of the way, please enter me in the giveaway. I believe I am a follower =D

At February 7, 2011 at 4:38 PM , Jess @ Blonde Ponytail said...: I follow/stalk you! Congrats on passing 600 followers!! You are amazing!

At February 7, 2011 at 4:38 PM , Laura said...: Of course I follow you! And so does my sister now, we love your blog!

My favourite workout is long runs, not always while I am doing them but it feels so good after! Especially the sense of accomplishment! I am training for my 3rd half marathon and it is definitely my favourite distance.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!

At February 7, 2011 at 4:38 PM , Geneviève said...: I follow you!! My favourite distance to run is 10km - long enough so you don't feel the need to sprint and feel like you're dying, but short enough to feel great and can be done even when pressed for time! :)
At February 7, 2011 at 4:38 PM , Regina said...: I'm a follower! And I really wish I had those swedish fish right about now...I think it is a great giveaway-

My favorite workout is kickboxing! Love it!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:38 PM , Amber said...: I like to run less than a mile. How about 0 miles? Bahhaa. No but seriously.

At February 7, 2011 at 4:42 PM , Running Ricig said...: my favorite distance to run is probably seven miles, it can easily be run in an hour, so it fits nicely into a busy schedule
At February 7, 2011 at 4:43 PM , middleagedrunner said...: My favorite distance.
2 answers.
1: ANY distance that I can run right now after having a scary bad back.
2: On a normal day? 8 miles. Perrrrrfect.
At February 7, 2011 at 4:43 PM , Jules said...: I think it is more fun to tell you my favourite candy: NIBS! (Are Nibs Canadian?! I am not sure, so they little licorice bits cut into chunks and they are delicious).
At February 7, 2011 at 4:44 PM , Jilly Bean said...: I follow you
and my favorite distance is 4 miles.
At February 7, 2011 at 4:44 PM , SMACK said...: I'm a follower through Google Reader! My favorite runs are the mid- to longish distance ones, right in the 12-16 mile range. I've been running for years, but it still usually takes a few miles for me to get in the groove. Once everything clicks, though, there is nothing better than settling in and just letting myself move.
At February 7, 2011 at 4:45 PM , Unknown said...: My favorite distance right now is the half marathon! I just ran another one on Saturday and it is very motivating!!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:45 PM , Teresa said...: I follow you!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:46 PM , Anonymous said...: I am following you! My favorite distance is 26.2! Second favorite is 5k though--totally opposite I know, but they each have their own pros/cons!

My favorite workout is definitely anything speedwork related--I love going FAST....

Despise hill workouts though!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:46 PM , Unknown said...: I think we have mental telepathy or something. I was just sitting here reading everyone's comments on my blogs from my marathon and was getting all emotional at how sweet everyone out there is (including you of course). I was thinking, hmm, I should put together some sort of giveaway, on me, to show my readers how much I love and appreciate them! Then I popped onto your blog and saw this. Great minds think alike, Janae!

You know I follow!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:46 PM , Teresa said...: Right now I don't have a favorite distance and I am a pretty new runner....

I can't get enough of Peanut Butter Cups, though. Or really anything with sugar, for that matter! :)
At February 7, 2011 at 4:46 PM , Unknown said...: Considering the high I am still on from yesterday's race, I'll have to say the marathon, although the 10k is a fun, fast distance too!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:46 PM , Teresa said...: Posting your giveaway on my blog!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:47 PM , Sarah said...: Following you!

My favorite distance is 8 miles and favorite candy, M&Ms.

ps: I love your giveaway. It is so you!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:47 PM , Unknown said...: My favorite candy, tropical skittles, dark chocolate, airheads, tootsie pops (but they aren't vegan so I don't 'em anymore), starburst, and the list goes on and on. :)
At February 7, 2011 at 4:48 PM , Kristin @NyceLife said...: I follow you already! Right now I am loving running a mile or mile and a half on the TM before and after a hard spin class (so 2-3 miles total)- feels like I really worked without the pain my old knees get if I do over 5 miles. I also LOVE summer runs when your skin is burning hot and you don't think you have any more sweat to give, ah I love summer!! Will post this to my blog too :)
At February 7, 2011 at 4:48 PM , Laura Mooney said...: I follow you:) I REALLy love to spin and it gives me the best exercise high. I took two spin classes back to back on Saturday and I think that might be my favorite workout ever.
At February 7, 2011 at 4:48 PM , Kelley said...: I love half marathons. Just enough of a challenge to make me work for it, but I don't feel dead at the end.
At February 7, 2011 at 4:49 PM , Lauren said...: I'm obsessed with Spin Classes. I'm am also equally obsessed with Reese's peanut butter cups, particularly the holiday ones with an increased peanut butter to chocolate ratio.
At February 7, 2011 at 4:49 PM , Anonymous said...: Girl I love the pukealicious workouts too, they make Mondays so much better:)

I follow you already!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:50 PM , Pemberton Family said...: Awesome work on your run!!! Since I'm preggo with baby #3 right now my fab distance is 5 miles. After that I am peeing myself unless I ca find a place to use the bathroom:). When not knocked up I like an 8 mile run. Just the right distance because I can get it done in an hour and that doesn't take too much time away from the fam. I am a follower of course, love your blog!!!!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:50 PM , Unknown said...: I'm a follower!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:50 PM , Sarah Soon-To-Be said...: You are the sweetest thing ever. If I win you can hand deliver the goods to me when you finally come back to Cali :)

My fav is the Half - I've always thought I'd love the 15K distance but I've never done it :( Maybe that should be my next life goal.
At February 7, 2011 at 4:50 PM , Meghan said...: I already follow you :)

I like running about 8 miles - it feels longer than normal and so I really feel like I accomplished something, but then it also doesn't take as much time as 11 or 12. Maybe one day my 11 or 12 will feel like 8!!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:50 PM , Jen said...: It's hard to fathom running that fast ever. You are a machine!
My favorite distance is probably a half marathon. It still feels like it's hard and an accomplishment, but it doesn't take so long to recover from. (At least for me!)
And I am a follower!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:51 PM , Anonymous said...: My favorite workout is DEFINITELY running intervals with a slight incline..kicks my bootay!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:51 PM , lindsay said...: i am currently studying abroad so i won't enter the giveaway! but I have to say i own that copco mug and i am obsessed with it for reals
At February 7, 2011 at 4:51 PM , Unknown said...: My favorite workouts are in the summer. We bike to the lake, swim, and then bike home! I get a tan and get to work out! YAY!

PS - I love that you and Billy-man signed a picture of you guys!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:52 PM , Kristina @ spabettie said...: I'm a follower! :)

my favorite is a weird one - I once ran an 8k and it was perfect! I used to love averaging 12-13k once a week or so... and I'm working on getting back up to that!

my favorite workout - tennis! skiing! step!

my favorite candy is anything peanut butter + chocolate, and anything gummi!

Great job on your speedwork! You are going to rock your half marathon.

At February 7, 2011 at 4:59 PM , Anonymous said...: I really love 7-9ish miles on the dirt road near my camp in the summer. It's so pretty, and it's just me, my dog, and my music!
At February 7, 2011 at 4:59 PM , KatiPet said...: I love running 5ks, but I probably love peanut m&ms more.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:00 PM , Leah @ Why Deprive? said...: Im following!! :)

My favorite distance to run is probably 5k. I like that its just enough to get an awesome workout, but not so much that Im falling down when I get home.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:01 PM , Gracie said...: This is such a cute giveaway :) I love love love ten miles. If I can fit ten miles in before work, I feel so much better! It's a lot, but not enough to feel sick or tired.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:02 PM , Amanda@runninghood said...: You rocked this workout Janae. You beat my PR by almost 2 minutes. If I was a jealous person then I'd be jealous but instead I'm just happy for you and your awesomeness. I am a follower. My favorite distance is 13.1 probably. Not sure I really know yet though.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:02 PM , Unknown said...: Favorite work out= Body pump! Favorite candy= Laffy Taffy! Love your blog by the way :) you're so funny and genuine!! haha
At February 7, 2011 at 5:02 PM , Dorry said...: This is awesome! I think personal giveaways are so meaningful and fun! (I have a chocolate giveaway tomorrow!) I ran 8 miles today and felt like a million bucks. I think 8-10 is a great distance for me which is amazing considering it used to seem really far to run just 3!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:03 PM , Anonymous said...: You KNOW I follow you!!!

Favorite distance? Actually 18 miles.

I'm linking you on my FB I have more peeps on there. :)
At February 7, 2011 at 5:03 PM , Anonymous said...: I'm now a follower :)

I love running a 10k distance. I always find the first few miles of any race brutal so 5k's just feel like a struggle the whole time. There's something about hitting mile 4 that feels great and then smooth sailing in past mile 6! I also loooove gummy peaches, skittles, and tootsie rolls after working out!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:04 PM , Lauren said...: I'm a leader...no really, I'm a follower!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:05 PM , Julia said...: my favorite distance is 10 mile to a half marathon. I seriously love distance...I feel so good after and it feels good to know that I have worked hard enough to be able to run that far...I get in some serious me time and just time away from everything else to push myself to the limit but feel good and relaxed after. Plus...I can tell I am getting better because I am able to run these distances faster and faster. My favorite workout is when I push myself throughout but still have the energy to have my fastest miles at the end of a run...leaves me feeling confident and strong and just itching for my next run :)
At February 7, 2011 at 5:05 PM , Kimberly said...: I am a follower!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:06 PM , Lauren said...: I like to run around 8 miles when I'm looking to go for a nice run. I like running a half marathon competitively, and as for candy I love heath bars, but really anything with sugar works...I should try to run while eating heath bars. That could be delicious.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:06 PM , Angela said...: I follow you :-D YAY!

I have only run 1 half. In my training runs I seem to hit my groove after 6 miles or so, so maybe the 10k is my favorite.

I love sour patch kids.

I want to win this, because having a signed picture of you would be fun! HAHA (and stalkerish) but I could say you are my celeb friend :-D
At February 7, 2011 at 5:06 PM , desertrunnergirl said...: Happy birthday week! I like running about 10 miles. There aren't many 10 mile races so I just do a couple of those on my own each week. thanks for offering the giveaway!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:06 PM , Kimberly said...: My fave distance to run is, well, any. Ha! Nah - I think I'll go with 8 miles. It's far enough that I feel like I've done something but I can get it in before work.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:06 PM , Meg said...: I've fallen in love with two things: running five miles and doing bricks. I love biking first and then running to push my body. Technically it's to prepare for triathlons, but it's also just such a crazy test. The first time I did it I thought I might die, and now I can push harder and run faster and it's so cool to see how the body adjusts over time. And running five miles has become a new obsession. I have a five mile race in March and I've been trying to improve my time. It started with getting my body to run five miles without stopping, and now it's a test to see how fast I can do it. Really, my favorite workout is anytime I'm preparing for a race. I love it.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:06 PM , jenny winstead said...: WOW 1:29...insane! ok, your goal in 19 days should be to take 3 more minutes off. is that even possible? i mean, you ran it 3 minutes faster today that you did a week ago...so you'd have 19 days to take off 3 more mins. my race is sunday and i'm hoping for a 2:00. :)

favorite distance? a nice SLOW long run...about 10-11 miles. my brain starts beating me up when i have to speed up. working on that mental stuff though. LOVE the giveaway! so cute!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:06 PM , Stacie said...: I'm a follower!!!! Love your blog :)
At February 7, 2011 at 5:07 PM , Rebecca said...: I love to run the half marathon distance, but the marathon rocked as well (except the last few miles which were hell).
Perfect daily runs when I'm busy should be between 6-8 to make me feel like I've really done something.
(I follow you on twitter).
At February 7, 2011 at 5:08 PM , Laurel said...: 5ks..because they are over fast!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:08 PM , Laurel said...: I am a follower....
At February 7, 2011 at 5:09 PM , Stacie said...: My favorite distance is probably 13.1. Long enough to be a challenge but short enough to not cause major damage :) That being said, I love marathons too.

I LOVE Cadbury Mini Eggs at Easter. They are hard shelled milk chocolate. So good. Easter candy is my worst nemesis.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:09 PM , Madison said...: Oh my gosh, I hope I win because I love all that stuff you are giving away. Seriously I need those lotions! I love running half marathons. All the gratification without all the pain of the full. Gotta love it.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:10 PM , Stacie said...: I posted your giveaway on my blog!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

At February 7, 2011 at 5:15 PM , Jody @ Raising Fin and Fish said...: Definitely a follower already.

I love a good circuit workout, one that is going to make me feel like my heart is pounding out of my chest.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:15 PM , Jennifer said...: I'm a follower now! I found you blog about 2 weeks ago and have been secretly stalking you ever since. =)

I don't run. But I love to do anything on the Wii that makes you burn calories. Zumba, Biggest Loser, & Just Dance 2! It works for me!

I'd just like to add that my favorite candy is dark chocolate candy! YUM! =)

At February 7, 2011 at 5:18 PM , Meredith said...: Oh.... and if I wanted to link it to my blog, when would I tell people this giveaway ended?

AND my favorite distance... um... any distance right now because I AM SURROUNDED BY SNOW and I don't have a treadmill or a gym membership, so my running is sporadic!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:20 PM , Sara said...: Hi Hungry Runner Girl's mom! I follow your daughter because she is awesome and encourages me to go run 26 miles on a treadmill after eating Swedish fish and a bag of Skittles. Only to follow said run with a salad eaten out of the spinach container from Costco. Plus, I can now do my makeup in 3 minutes thanks to her awesome video! I like to pick a distance to run then go out and double it. HRG style.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:21 PM , Kelly Laurette said...: i'm entering! while i do love running..my favorite workout is spin. I love spin and i could do it every day. Like i've said..your class kicks my butt every time!

i like to run 10 miles. It's not so long that it is intimidating, but it's long enough that I feel very proud after completing it. :)

My fave distance is a 10K. But I like half-marathons for the motivation. I have yet to run a full.

Love your blog!

At February 7, 2011 at 5:31 PM , Kristen said...: Favorite distance- 1/2 marathon. Any distance is better than no distance!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:32 PM , 5 Miles Past Empty said...: Dude! I SO want to win...mainly for the autographed photo. I would so tape my fave over Billy's. Watch me!!!!

Ok, your goal for the 13.1 coming up? 1:27.43. Yep. I believe in YOU! You can do! How I have no clue, your like amazing and now that I know your dad is an inventor I'm pretty sure he invented some sort of Run Fast Pill and gave it to you as a small child. You're a science project!!!!! All the more reason to totally want the autographed photo! (Don't think I'm crazy or a stalker or anything....I'm a nice stalker. Honest.)

At February 7, 2011 at 5:36 PM , Tara @ Dashing in Pearls said...: My favorite workout hasn't happened yet so I'll say my favorite thing is anything with chocolate and peanut butter!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:37 PM , 5 Miles Past Empty said...: Oh yeah, my favorite workout is not 1 mile repeats, although I think I will give it a try soon.

My favorite workout is 8x400yd hill repeats. There is this scenic drive called 5 Mile Drive in Tacoma, WA and I found a beautiful hill that was 1/4 mile long with a view of the Puget Sound and trees and just God's handy work all around. There was no way to be miserable running hill repeats there. I would sprint up and jog down as many times as I could before my bootie would fall off. I miss it there. I would give anything to be able to go there tomorrow, even in the pouring rain, to run hill repeats. Sigh.

At February 7, 2011 at 5:41 PM , Carrie said...: I'm a follower. And a huge fan. In case you didn't know, this weekend I gave you an official awesome award on my blog. Seriously. I'm licensed to do these things. :)

So far, my favorite distance to run is a half marathon. I have never been so speedy or grinning so hard than at my last half (Niagara Falls in October). When I'm not running, my other favorite workout is p90x (is that cheating, because it's a whole set of videos? If I had to pick just one of the series I'd be forced to say ab ripper). My favorite candy is fuzzy peaches, but chocolate is really my favorite thing in life. I'm eating ovations (dark chocolate mint sticks) right now :)

You're so awesome to provide your followers with a giveaway! Thanks!

And Swedish Fish are one of my top 3 favorite candies!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:43 PM , ~Mrs. Guru~ said...: Such a great workout! I do not really have a favorite distance but my favorite candy would have to be gummy bears! They are so good!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:43 PM , Pam @ herbieontherun.com said...: My favorite training run is a 5.25-mile route around my house. But my favorite race distance is 13.1. 5Ks are fun, but it takes longer to drive to one than it actually takes to run one! I've never run a 10K. And marathons? No more for me thanks! One and done!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:43 PM , Kassie said...: I'm a follower, and my favorite distance is the 1/2 marathon... I have one Saturday actually - YIPPEE!!!

At February 7, 2011 at 5:43 PM , Sheanna said...: Hi, my name is Sheanna, and I'm a loyal stalker...Errr...Follower.

My favorite workout is the core workout in the P90X line of workouts with the cardio in the morning. THe core makes my guts feel like they're secure if that makes sense.

If I HAD a blog, I would link back to yours, but I don't because I sucked at blogging (great writer, bad at keeping up with it and taking pics).

Been waiting for this giveaway all day!!!!

I would also tell you my favorite candy, but I just can't pick!!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:45 PM , XLMIC said...: I follow you like a shadow on a sunny day ;-)

My favorite workout ever was a rowing workout… 3x20 minutes@ anaerobic threshold w/ 5 min super easy in between. Favorite running workout… 4x1/2-mile hill repeats in the hilly park near my house (that or the 1 hour stadium extravaganza). I can't do any of that now! :P

And your readership is off the charts! Wow!

At February 7, 2011 at 5:47 PM , gloryrunning said...: Favorite candy: for super bowl sunday one of my friends brought these chocolate covered acai berries from costco. If it were physically possible to marry a candy, this would be the one. Or swedish fish - they are also very handsome, so I haven't entirely decided =)

Favorite distance to race: 5k. I love that it's short enough basically sprint the whole thing.

Favorite workout: mile repeats! And sprint work - they hurt so good!

Hi!
Happy birthday week!
I am your newest follower.
I love 13.1. I'm training for 26.2 right now, but uuuhhhh...20mi long runs? What's with that?? I want my 13milers back. Oh wait, I do those on Wednesdays now!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:50 PM , Michelle said...: Im not a distance runner...so my favorite candy is Reeses...well really anything with peanut butter.. BTW I'm a follower too.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:50 PM , BigHappyFamily said...: My favorite workout totally varies. I feel like I know what I need to get to the happy place, and I do it. Right now I am doing the long runs on Saturday with a training group (to prepare for the second race of my life) ... never done that, really liking it. I love the solitude of running alone after a busy day of interacting. I love to swim, but only when the lap lane is empty, and the running fitness really translates well to the water for me. I like some cardio kickbox when I am feeling fiesty. And I love me some clubbin cardio dance class when I am feeling lazy, and I know at a minimum I will get a good core workout laughing at myself in the mirror.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:50 PM , Allyssa said...: I'm hoping my favorite distance will be a half marathon but my first one is still a couple weeks away. There's always going to be a part of me that loves aerobics though. I used to teach aerobics in college and now that I'm poor from my school loans I miss belonging to a gym where I can do it.
At February 7, 2011 at 5:51 PM , Running With The Girls said...: 1. I follow you!

2. My most favorite distance to run is the 1/2. I've only done one so far. I have 2 more coming up in the next few months. To me it's the perfect length. I wish I had your pace!
At February 7, 2011 at 5:51 PM , LL said...: Favorite candy: FLUFFY STUFF ( packaged rot your teeth cotton candy! :)

My favorite distance to run is 10 miles for distance. But for a down and dirty workout, I'm a 3 miler girl
At February 7, 2011 at 6:06 PM , alison s said...: You had me at Swedish Fish, which are pretty much my greatest vice in life, next to the man in bioland!

My favourite workout is the run you don't feel like doing but ends up feeling amazing. Sometimes it's 3 miles and sometimes it's 12!

I'm a follower for sure.
At February 7, 2011 at 6:07 PM , Tiffany Godinez said...: I LOOOOOVE following your blog! You are awesome! My fave race distance is the 1/2 marathon, but I love running a 6.2 practice 10K in training. I love running many 1/2s throughout the year so that I am constantly training for something. So far this year i am registered for 5. San Diego Safari Park, Pediactric Cancer support run in Irvine, Disneyland (my fave), Long Beach and Big Sur!

BTW...my fave 2 candies are...airheads sour belts (the multi colored striped ones they have at the movies) and fun dip!

My favorite distance to run is def 13.1. There's something about giving it your all for the whole race is more thrilling to me than doing 20 miles. I also like it because its completely more bad ass than 10miles. Annnnd my favorite kind of candy are sour patch kid watermelons and chocolate covered raisins!

My favorite run...well, I love my first half-marathon and I want to run another so I guess that's saying something. And for kicks and giggles, my favorite candy is sour patch watermelons. But I also adore organic sunny bears (but they're too expensive at $10.00/lb to grow too attached).

At February 7, 2011 at 6:12 PM , my little celebration said...: I was already following you on reader, but NOW I'm officially following you for all the world to see and it feels so good. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

My favorite distance to run is a 10K. It's short enough to almost sprint, but long enough to feel like a good workout.

Lovely giveaway! So fun : )
At February 7, 2011 at 6:13 PM , Blue said...: I am trying to love working out, as you know. I actually went to my first spin class last week...inspired by you (and a co-worker who emailed and said she was going and did i want to meet her? So yes! I would like to meet her there and have a workout buddy. Since Janae isn't nearby and inviting me to workout with her. As if i could even keep up.)

But my favorite candies...so many choices. So hard to choose. I love chocolates with other stuff added (caramel, mint, fruity flavors, etc.) but my favorite treats are either baked goods or frozen...Golden Spoon (I already discussed this yesterday) and Gelato, ice cream etc. I love pies of almost any kind. I love making my famous toffee...which I will make for you when we meet.

I'm going to be flying from Boston to LAX to Boston to Boston to LAX to Boston to Boston to LAX to Boston to Boston to LAX to Boston to Salt Lake City this week, so I won't be able to get online much. But have the most wonderful 25th birthday! So sad that we aren't going to be 24/42 any more. :-( But you can still be my bff. ♥
