Fun Friday

Bullet style, y'all.
  • Still looking for suggestions on what to buy with the money I have in my account. Yes, I will pay some of my bills but once I start this new job I'll really be buckling down with the money so I figure I should enjoy some of this before I can't have any fun.
  • Speaking of the new job, the hours are 8:30-5:30 and I'm thinking this will mean I can bump morning runs to 6 am which makes me happy since lately I have been struggling to get up at 5 am (though that might be due to "adopting" a kid for a week).
  • My stomach has been bothering me a lot lately in the mornings. Like the food isn't digested yet (another reason I'm ditching morning runs this week). So next week, I'm going to try eating earlier and maybe going for an evening spin on my bike and see how that works out.
  • I Am Boring sent me my prize for winning a giveaway. Which actually his wife sent but whatever, The Bobs don't have time for mail when they've got to consult and shit. Anyway, look for a post on that. Just gotta get a long run in. Hmmmm.
  • I'm running a virtual 10K this weekend. On 10/10/10 I will run 6.2 miles for Jog for Joubert (which I need to donate to NOW. whoops). You can still sign up so go here and DOOOOOO ITTTTTTT.
  • On 10/10/10 I am also contemplating signing up for Rock'N'Roll Savannah (run in November 2011). I am still on the fence about this one. Barbie really wants me to do it. And it could be the kick in the ass I need to get back on the workout express (all aboooooaaarrrddddd. Yes, I really just did that). Anyway between 10 and 10 on 10/10/10 you can receive $20 off any rock'n'roll you sign up for. I think I would do the half marathon. I know, I know I've done 2 and I should give the full a try but I gotta tell you the idea of running for 4 fucking hours makes me want to kill myself. Everyone should just be happy I'm even considering signing up for another half.
  • Last, but most importantly! I am going to do a giveaway. I'm thinking I owe, you my loyal readers who have not been commenting enough fyi, a prize for sticking with me. All 69 of you. And yes, I just wanted to type 69 while I still had 69 readers. Now it's like a game. How many times can I type 69 in this paragraph about my 69 readers? Okay, I'll seriously stop typing 69 now. I swear*. Anyway.....the giveaway. Hold on, I'm thinking on the fly right now....ummm, what should I give away...This is tougher than I thought. Okay, how about a gift certificate to One More Mile because I love that place. And maybe they can motivate you. Settled, a $20 gift certificate to One More Mile is up for grabs. Bam. Now...the details.

Giveaway ends on 10/15/2010 at midnight. Winner will be announced Saturday. Or Sunday. Or Monday. Cause I don't like to make promises I can't keep and I just don't know how hungover I'll be over the course of the weekend. To Enter you can opt to do one or all of the following things (but each entry must be a separate comment. Anyone who can't follow that direction is disqualified. Boom. Just like being in school).

  1. Follow my blog and let me know you do so. Current followers just give me the heads up again that you follow.
  2. Like me on facebook. Cause I like getting the thumbs up yo.
  3. Head over to One More Mile and tell me what you'd spend your bucks (or mine) on!
  4. Like One More Mile on facebook. Cause I'm sure they like the thumbs up as well.
  5. Follow One More Mile on Twitter. I'm sure they have important things to tweet. So important, I'm adding them to my own feed....NOW.
  6. And lastly (that is not a word, is it?) follow my raunchy, running ass on twitter.

SIX (that's 6 for those of you who don't read good) opportunities to win people. Hop on it! Also, tell One More Mile I sent you so maybe they give me stuff to give away. Hosting your own giveaway is expensive yo. But I love you and you deserve it. Boom- have a good weekend!

Berryfine said...

Courtney, yes that is Luau! He signed up last minute for the Boston 13.1 and found me while I was running for Team Challenge. Then he WAITED AN HOUR to cheer me across the finish line for a PR. One of the nicest guys EVER and my favorite dailymile meet up yet :)

Ha - can't wait to see what you do with the Gel. I would really like to think that I'm living up to my bob roots. You know, strategeries.

I follow your blog, AND on FB, and on twitter. But, don't enter me into the contest. You know, spread the love around....just like I like to do with the herps

If I were shopping on the One More Mile website I'd probably be leaning toward another headband from them - love the one I bought earlier this year! - or a comfy looking long-sleeved shirt.

I think I would use my gift certificate for either a long sleeve tee (my fave = this seemed like a good idea 3 months ago) of a headband (if found on ground, drag to finish line) - I love one more miles' stuff!!!
