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.

Giveaway includes 2 bottles of delicious lotion and lip gloss from Bath and Body Works, Swedish Fish, a reusable plastic hot chocolate thingee (I use mine 14 times a day, obsessed), sunglasses (I have a twinner pair), CHOCOLATES, and a signed picture of Billy and I!

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).

2. Tell me your most favoritest distance to run or your favorite workout ever. If you don't like working out tell me your favorite candy?

3. Extra entry: link it on your blog and let me know in a separate comment.

Love your blog - you are too cute!! :)

Favourite distance to run is 5K at the moment. but I'm definitely hoping to run a half-marathon this year!

And my favourite sweets are starburst! Or skittles! Or jelly tots! Yummm.
We don't have swedish fish over here. We're basically deprived. I might have to try and import some!

LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog!

At February 7, 2011 at 6:18 PM , Maia said...: My favorite distance is the marathon, hands down.
At February 7, 2011 at 6:18 PM , Lindsey said...: My favorite distance to run is the half marathon. I've done one full and it was amazing but they take too long to train for. Half marathons are the perfect distance cause not everyone can just sign up and do them on the spur of the moment.

At February 7, 2011 at 6:26 PM , RunningOnCoffee said...: Awesome giveaway!
While I'm not fast... "race" wise, I really like the half because I get to run it slower than a 5k :) And training-run wise, I really enjoy my long runs the most because I always run them outside and they take me through some beautiful scenery!

So far my favorite distance, wait, time to run is 2 minutes. I'm just a beginner. But when I was able to bust out two minutes, I'll tell ya'-the world spun.

At February 7, 2011 at 6:29 PM , A Prelude To... said...: My favorite workout ever was a group bike ride I did in 2009. It was winter, it was cold, it was wet, it was miserable. By mile 25, we had lost ALL of the men to someplace warmer than the road. We had also lost some women, but at mile 45, I was SO proud to finish our ride completely with 6 other women! We were strong that day!I didn't think I could do it...
But I Did!
Then I cried in my car for 15 minutes before my feet warmed up enough to be able to drive home.
Ahhhh...now that's a good workout!

At February 7, 2011 at 6:30 PM , Unknown said...: I am now a follower and I hope I did that right! Not that I'm following only to win but....... my most favorite distance to run is five miles. (It feels like an accomplishment to me- I wish the mental ability to run longer..I have the attention span of a five year old.) I'll link it on my blog http://cupcakedynamite.wordpress.com tomorrow if that's not to late. :D xo
At February 7, 2011 at 6:30 PM , Christine said...: Favorite race distance is the 100 meter freestyle. (in swimming) Fast and SHORT. If you do it right, you can barely climb out of the pool because you are so wiped.

I think that's why running any longer than to the end of my street is so hard. I'm a sprinter at heart. Oh well, I WILL conquer the marathon!
At February 7, 2011 at 6:31 PM , Amanda said...: I am following you now. Love your blog!
I love running 5 miles. I can't do much longer yet but I'm woorking on it!

At February 7, 2011 at 6:32 PM , Shirley said...: my favorite distance to run is probably 7, though i usually run 6 to 6.5. i guess whenever i do 7, i feel even more accomplished! however, i want to be able to run 9-10 miles more regularly. i ran that much at least once a week for about 3 weeks this summer at the peak of my summer training for cross country season and i loved it. mostly because i got to run to the ocean and back through the woods :) of course, i got nothin' on you!

as for speed work, i like 400s and 800s.
At February 7, 2011 at 6:32 PM , Anonymous said...: I'm a follower! And I follow you on twitter - stalker much? :)

I think my favoritest distance to run in all the world is a good 8 miler. I am working to increase that number, but baby steps!

I also could put my face in a bag of Reeses PB Cups!!

Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
At February 7, 2011 at 6:33 PM , Unknown said...: I'm new to running, but so far my favorite distance is 5 miles..mostly cause thats the longest I've gone and the sense of accomplishment is awesome!
At February 7, 2011 at 6:33 PM , Anonymous said...: My favorite workout is Plyometrics moves (burpees, mountain climbers, squat jumps, etc..). It's a great compliment to running and really works so many muscles. I find it such a rewarding mental challenge to get through!

At February 7, 2011 at 6:47 PM , Unknown said...: I think my favorite workout would have to be a speed session, it hurts while you do it but feels soo good knowing that you did it after! A close 2nd would have to be a really hard lifting session! I am having to sacrifice muscle for running but since I am not going to be a figure girl I have to have some sort of goal!
At February 7, 2011 at 6:49 PM , Diana Tries-A-Tri! said...: I love doing speed workouts too. My favorite are hill repeats. They always seems so easy and then by the end you feel like death ... in a delightful way! Oh, and I love chocolate covered blueberries. Oh heavens they are delicious

At February 7, 2011 at 6:55 PM , Shannon said...: I'm already following!

I honestly don't yet know what my favorite distance is... Except for training runs I've only ever run 5k's and one half marathon, but I think I prefer the half.

Aaand, I think I should win this giveaway because I've never tried Swedish Fish before ;)
At February 7, 2011 at 6:57 PM , Anonymous said...: I love doing 5Ks. They are attainable to everyone so you have such a variety from beginners to full on sprinters. They are fun and pressure free.
At February 7, 2011 at 6:57 PM , thegypsycook said...: My favorite distance is a 5k for races, but 7-8 just for training/fun. After a massive snow and ice storm I got out for the first time today and it was glorious!
At February 7, 2011 at 6:57 PM , Catherine from NJ said...: Janae- That is the best giveaway ever! You are the cutest. Imagine, it's your birthday week and you are giving US presents! Wow!
My favorite workout ever is taking a dance class...it's a great workout, and so much fun!
You inspire me!
At February 7, 2011 at 6:58 PM , K said...: I love girlie giveaways~ YAY~

My favorite distance to run is 20 -- I haven't run it in a really long time but it makes you feel super accomplished but not DEAD. Anything over 20 really impairs me for a while but 20 makes me feel like a rock star ;)
At February 7, 2011 at 6:59 PM , Mary H said...: My favorite distance to run is a 10 miler. Although, I was a heptathlete in college and loved the shorter distances!

Favorite distance: half marathon. Not too hard and I can be speedy, but hard enough that the general public thinks I'm really cool and/or nutso for running it.
At February 7, 2011 at 7:06 PM , Karissa Kay said...: I just got into running a few months back and ran my first 10k (i know, it doesn't sound too impressive, but i was proud of myself). Now I'm expecting my 2nd baby so I'm not allowed to push myself at the gym too much but my goal for post-baby is a half marathon! Woo-hoo!

At February 7, 2011 at 7:07 PM , Jessica said...: I just became a follower!!

My favorite distance to run is 8 miles. I would really like to train for and race in half marathons. I just have to wait until I start making money (I'm in physical therapy school) so I can pay race entry fees.

My favorite candies include: skittles (tropical), anything Reese's, and hot tomales!

I love ten miles (to run not to race). It's long enough that you feel really accomplished but it can be done (somewhat) I'm a whim.
At February 7, 2011 at 7:31 PM , PBandJ Runner said...: My favorite race distance is the half marathon. It is the perfect distance for me-I have tried everything from 5ks to marathons, but have found that the half is the perfect blend of speed and endurance. I feel like I can dial into a competitive pace without having to go so fast that I miss all the amazing race scenery around me, but I don't have to run so long that I am counting the mile markers. I also love it because I can do training runs that are longer than the actual race distance, so on race day I can toe the line knowing that I have run 13 miles or more more times that I can count on my unpolished fingers and runner-deformed toes!
At February 7, 2011 at 7:33 PM , Anonymous said...: Holy comments!

My fav candy...can I count chocolate chip cookie dough as candy??
At February 7, 2011 at 7:42 PM , Mara Campbell said...: I am already a happy follower! Thanks for the great giveaway!! My favorite distance is the half marathon because it's totally do-able to train for it and have a family, work full time, blah, blah, blah. BUT I am training for a marathon now and want my favorite distance to become a marathon!!!
At February 7, 2011 at 7:43 PM , Alyssa said...: I just followed you and now you have 666 followers, so not sure this is a good sign.

I think half marathon might be my favorite distance, I've had a weird craving for one. But my favorite actual race is the Baltimore Ten Miler, which was on my birthday last year - I highly recommend running a race on your birthday, it gives you extra super speed.
At February 7, 2011 at 7:45 PM , Anonymous said...: Oh oh pick me pick me! I don't have a ton of recent racing experience but I am going to hope that after my first half that will be my favorite distance! Your giveaway looks awesome..I retweeted it!

At February 7, 2011 at 7:50 PM , Shannon said...: My favorite distance...3 miles. Anything less than that doesn't seem long enough, anything more is more of a mental challenge to me.

Favorite Candy - REESES!

Also- Sweedish Fish are my FAVORITE candy!
At February 7, 2011 at 7:55 PM , kat said...: I just became your 667th follower...can you say, lucky?

My favorite run is my longest one each week, especially when I'm training for a race! I love working out because I can eat all the skittles that sit on my desk (which double as "brain balls" for my 4th graders)... although I end up eating them all and forgetting to share the wealth with the kids! whoops!

I'm eating Swedish Fish for dinner tonight. Clearly, I will need more before I run out.

At February 7, 2011 at 8:25 PM , Elle said...: Favorite workout is doing a run on the elliptical using a level 5 incline and level 2 resistance and working in some aerobic work because it makes you go backwards and works different muscles :)

Hope your Mom is feeling better and that all these comments bring a smile to her face!

At February 7, 2011 at 8:31 PM , Meghan @ The Rambling Sister said...: Followed! My favorite distance is probably 13.1. I really love all distances but I feel like I perform at the highest level in half marathons. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
At February 7, 2011 at 8:31 PM , danielle said...: My favorite workout is probably a boot camp style workout...I love the hardcore tire flipping, rope swinging workout! But I also love running...a good distance for me is probably 5 miles... I ran way more and way less than that but right now 5 is my favorite number! Oh...and happy birthday week...it's my birthday week too! And I'm a follower!

At February 7, 2011 at 8:33 PM , Anonymous said...: Mmm... I so want that pic of you and Billy. Actually I'd love more swedish fish. My favorite distance (so far) is the half marathon. But I'm training for a marathon right now and may come to love that distance. I really enjoyed my 15 miler this past weekend.

At February 7, 2011 at 8:51 PM , Unknown said...: Oh yeah, forgot to put my favorite distance... if I'm racing it's definitely marathon. But if I'm going out for a long run I like around 16 miles. Long enough to feel like it's been a good long run, but not so long that I'm ready to chew my arms off while I'm running because I'm so hungry. Probably should work on my fueling strategy ;)
At February 7, 2011 at 8:55 PM , BeckyJo606 said...: I'm your newest follower! So exciting! I hope your mom is so excited. I'm also a twitter fan of yours, but I know that doesn't count in the giveaway--it's just fun to hear what you're up to! Your tweets crack me up!
At February 7, 2011 at 8:56 PM , Carrie @ Confessions of a Dietitian said...: I work out because I have to. Candy is my true passion. Reese's PB cups, snickers, twizzlers. The list is endless. I'm such a good dietitian.
At February 7, 2011 at 8:56 PM , BeckyJo606 said...: I'm not a runner, but I am obsessed with doing Jillian Michael's The Shred. I'm on level 2 and the plank exercises are really kicking my butt! I love it! :)
At February 7, 2011 at 8:57 PM , Kate (What Kate is Cooking) said...: My favorite distance to run is 4 miles. No idea why, but I love it! When I ran a marathon, I got to mile 22 and kept telling myself, '4 more miles! YOU LOVE FOUR MILERS!'
At February 7, 2011 at 9:02 PM , brianne said...: My favorite workout will always be a nice, long, vigorous walk! Clears the mind and its great cardio :)
At February 7, 2011 at 9:02 PM , Nat said...: I am already a follower of you!

My favorite workout EVA was actually a recent race...it was a half-ironman triathlon called Troika - my first half-ironman and I fell in complete and total love with that race distance. 1.2 mile swim/56 mile bike/13.1 mile run.

Pick me, because I am beginning the second week of a three week fast from sweet treats, for my church and someone I love dearly! Every time I crave what I'm fasting from, I pray for my church and my special loved one. So - I NEED the candy and your sweetness :o)
At February 7, 2011 at 9:02 PM , Nat said...: Also, you're already linked on my blog at www.natalie-gallagher.blogspot.com!
At February 7, 2011 at 9:03 PM , Courtney said...: I work at a little store that sells local college gear, which is about 1.5 miles away from my house. Having said that, my favorite workout is running to work and back. This forces me to run on one of the main roads in my town which gives me the motivation to keep going even when it hurts. I know people are constantly watching me and it's like I'm embarrassed if I stop! And I'm also going to say my favorite candy HAS to be peanut butter m&ms!! I'm just as obsessed with sweets as you are so I figured you'd like to hear from a fellow candy obsessor. Have a wonderful birthday week!
At February 7, 2011 at 9:03 PM , Q said...: I am a follower! I like to workout, but I'm still going to tell you my favourite candy: Big Foot (which are sweedish berries, which are sweedish fish!). I also love B&B Works, AND chocolate. This giveaway was made for me! :-P

I'll link to this in my sidebar.
At February 7, 2011 at 9:04 PM , Jessica W said...: Happy Birthday week! I just started following your blog last week and I miiiight be obsessed. My favorite distance to run is 8-9 miles (so far).

At February 7, 2011 at 9:06 PM , LoLo said...: I am not a big runner. So... my favorite workout is anything that has to do with strengthening my upper body! I love weights and stretches!!

At February 7, 2011 at 9:51 PM , Sue G. said...: Ok, you have a redunkulous amount of followers! And, of course, I am one of them.

My favorite race distance is 5 miles. My favorite workout is probably, ummm hiking? If it's a gym workout, well, I guess the elliptical is fun and a change of pace. I like moving backwards on the steps--it feels so good on the legs!

My favorite candy--well, I have two. Junior Mints and Apple Zotz. Oh, and tootsie rolls. I can eat them until I puke.
At February 7, 2011 at 10:03 PM , Suzana said...: YAY for twinner shades!!!

My fave workout is running a long enough distance where I get into a trance and a rhythm and it starts feeling effortless :) So... anything over 5miles if I hit that funky zone :) (Haven't in a while :( )

At February 7, 2011 at 10:48 PM , RoseRunner said...: I'm a google-reader follower! My fave distance is 18-20 miles. So SATISFYING! that is my breaking point between feeling great and feeling too sore the next day (that is, over 20 will make me sore).
At February 7, 2011 at 10:57 PM , Emilie said...: distance--18 miles on the treadmill (i am a weirdo who LOOOOOVES the tread and HATES running outside. nuts, i know). candy...well, right now i'm eating cinnamon gummy bears and they are delicious, but this afternoon i was eating sour gummy worms and they were also delicious, but yesterday i had some hard root beer barrels that were pretty tasty too, and i've never been one to walk away from chocolate either, so...yeah. picking a favorite's not possible for this girl.
At February 7, 2011 at 11:05 PM , Anonymous said...: I'm a follower & I love me some Latin Heat dance class :)
At February 7, 2011 at 11:09 PM , Pam Landy said...: Officially a follower (I've de-lurked)! I kind of think this giveaway was made for me because Swedish fish are my FAVORITE CANDY.
I am obsessed with the reusable coffee mugs...I might have 2 of the tall starbucks ones just incase I get lazy and don't want to handwash it daily...chocolate is another vital staple in my diet....I suppose I am getting a bit carried away.

So my favorite distance is crossing that half marathon line at 13.1 miles and favorite candy is SWEDISH FISH and reese peanut butter cups are very close second but I consider that my favorite chocolate candy. It's obviously important and completely normal to have these distinctions!
