1,400 Mile Goal Reached by ME ... Bondi Band Giveaway for YOU!

At the end of last year, I had set high goals for myself. I had (only) finished one marathon to date (and several halfs) and crossed the 1,200 mile mark by the end of last year. I wanted to set higher goals for myself for 2010. I decided that I was going to run 1,400 miles by December 31.

I had six miles planned for today and twelve for tomorrow. With less than thirteen miles left to reach my goal ... I just decided to hop on the treadmill this afternoon ... and GO. Four miles in, I felt great and knew that I was going to run a half marathon ... on the treadmill. I felt awesome the entire time. I cranked the iTunes, turned on the Style Network on mute, opened the windows and the blinds and watched the sun set over the next 1:59. I downed two bottles of water and Little Diva got me a gel at mile 7. I felt awesome and only stopped once, because my new treadmill apparently is set to turn off at one hundred minutes (Apparently there are few crazy people like US in the world!).

Well, with 41 days left in the year, I just crossed the 1,400 mile mark of my journey. I just physically stepped off of the treadmill. I cannot believe it. How many people actually accomplish their annual goals and New Year’s resolutions?! Well, I did. ME! ME! ME!

This blog has been such an encouraging factor. It has held me accountable. It has kept me motivated. I has given me that extra push. The products that I have been able to try out have kept me interested and intrigued with the sport and all that goes with it. The cool people that I have been able to meet in person and in the world of social media (bloggers and non-bloggers that read Running Diva Mom) have given me so much encouragement and advice.

Thank you for following my journey!

Throughout my journey, so many of you have inquired about those “fabulous headbands” I wear on my runs. I have happily directed so many of you to the Bondi Band website (HERE). I have enjoyed receiving your positive feedback about how much you like the fun, colorful headbands. How cute they are. How they keep the sweat out of your eyes and the hair out of your face while you work out.

Well, Rebecca at Bondi Band has appreciated your feedback (and many, many purchases), too! She is offering FIVE of my public subscribers one of these fabulous Bondi Bands.

All you need to do is be a FOLLOWER OF MY BLOG (and LEAVE A COMMENT). If you’ve been lurking for awhile, now is the perfect time to tell me who you are! I meet so many people at local races now, that read Running Diva Mom, but aren't bloggers. I know you are out there. And, for those of you with blogs, I try to get around to each of your blogs and see what you're up to, but don't always have the time. Please tell me what you're up to and how you're doing with your goals for 2010. Good luck to each and every one of you! YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING!!!

Enter now through Saturday, November 27.

FIVE winners will be announced on Sunday.
