1 - I'm running in the 2nd Annual Madison Mini Marathon (HERE) on Saturday, August 21st in downtown Madison, Wisconsin. Last year's innaugural event was AWESOME and scenic and sold out! The crowd support for our mid-size college town was great, too. If you are already committed to the half marathon or are interested in signing up, please let me know.
I am planning a bloggers meet-up for dinner on Friday night (August 20th) and am working with several sponsors. We will have goody bags and prizes! Please spread the word on your blog!!
Even if you aren't racing and want to participate in the dinner, please let me know, so that I can get a head count for donations.
2 - If you haven't already done so, don't forget to enter my Thorlos Socks giveaway! Remember to let me know your shoe size and style preference! And, thank you ... through this giveaway, I've realized that I'm not the only BIG FOOT! I wear a size 10 running shoe and feel like I'm the only one with such huge feet! There are SEVERAL of you that have posted that you, too, wear a size 10 or 11. GO TEAM BIG FOOT!
Also, to prevent the toe blisters and toenail problems, many have suggested going up a half-size in my running shoes. But, do many running shoes come in sizes larger than 10's?!? I'm not sure it's worth the huge investment, if I'm not sure how well a larger shoe will work for me?!?
3 - I have a couple of funny shirts and a cute mug from One More Mile HERE. I love their clever sayings and unique running-related items. They make me laugh!! My favorite saying right now is, "I'm only doing this so I can post a picture on Facebook!". I'm sure you've seen them at all of the conventions. Check out their website.
