Easy Friday, February 2, 1018

What's Up Today?
Today, 5 easy was on the schedule, but I decided to take the day off entirely.  That will blow my 50 mile week, but my right knee hurts.  I'm running a hilly, half tomorrow, so I think some rest is more important than a 50 mile week.

Giveaway News:
There are comments that I can see, but aren't showing up on the blog.  It seems like this isn't too uncommon of a problem, but I don't know how to fix it.  If you can't see your comment, chances are that I can see it, and you will still be included in the drawing. If you have a concern, please, reach out and I will take a look and confirm your entry.

Its a Challenge!
In honor of the Skirts Sports Giveaway, its all things Skirts Sports this week.  Ambassadors have been challenged to write an Ode to our first Skirt Sports product. I haven't written a poem since grammar school and this one is questionable, but it was fun thinking about my first Skirt Sports running skirt.

I had to dig deep for this throw back pick of me in my first Skirt Sports running skirt.  Looking at that pic prompted the memories of how difficult a race that was.  It was a 5K, but, seriously, if I could have somehow run to my car without going back to the start, I would have.  It was hilly and hot, but I was so proud of myself when I finished.  I really felt cute in that skirt, too.  I still love that Wonder Girl top.  It is very soft.  That pic was taken in 2010.

A cup of delight,

Mixed with a hint of pizzazz,

To make skirts so nice.

Skirt Sports Giveaway

I’m pleased to announce that I have accepted a Skirt Sports Ambassadorship.  Skirt Sports is a company founded by women, ran by women and dedicated to the empowerment of women.  Moreover, they make fashionable, high quality running skirts.  I’ve been wearing running skirts for years, and skirt sports has long been my favorite brand. One of the best things about being an ambassador is that I get to share a discount code.  Use code "825Sign" for 15% off any full priced item.  The code changes quarterly, so check back for a new code every few months.

Giveaway

To kick off the new ambassadorship, I’m giving away a Skirt Sports running skirt.  Style and color will vary, but the winner chooses the size and has a choice of a shorter or regular length skirt.  I ran the Boston Marathon 2017 in a Jette, one of the shorter styles.  In the pic at the top of the blog, I'm wearing a Lioness, another of the shorter skirt.

Leave a comment to enter the giveaway.  For one additional entry, follow the blog by email.  The giveaway will close at midnight on February 11, 2018.  A winner will be chosen by random draw on February 12.

While you are looking around,
please consider a donation of any amount to Ventura Land Trust.  After the Thomas Fire and subsequent rains, our trails are in desperate need of maintenance and rehabilitation.  VLT is at the forefront of that work.  I’ll be raising money for VLT during my marathon training for Mountains 2 the Beach marathon.

I have five signed copies of Running the Edge:  Discovering the Secrets to Better Running and a Better Life. I’ll gladly send one to the next five people who donate to VLT.
