A very "pink" GIVEAWAY!

The house is completely quiet right now. I can seriously hear the tick-tock of the clock. Don't remember the last time I heard that. Ooo, the heater just kicked on. Fascinating what you can hear once the kids and hubby are all tucked in and asleep. Usually, the house is crammed full of the screams and laughter of little boys (which I have to admit, I kinda love) and ESPN turned up way too loud (in order to hear it over the screaming boys. Don't love that.)  So, the quiet is rare. Very rare. If only I could bottle it up. Just know that right now I am blogging in a good place mentally. I'm. Having. A. Zen. Moment.

Enough of that, on to much busier things. Marathon training is well on it's way. I have long run #2 tomorrow (14 miles) and it looks as if I will be doing that one on the treadmill, too.  Disappointing! Especially because the weather was so beautiful earlier today. It was actually semi-warm and the sun was shining.  The clouds and snow rolled in so fast this afternoon! So, rather than break an ankle out in the snow, I'll be looking for a movie to help me forget that I'm running on the treadmill. Worked last week. Any recommendations?! I'm a sucker for romantic comedies. A total girl, I know. :)

Speaking of girly things, I have some VERY exciting news! Tanya from The Pink Series Half Marathon contacted me and offered to give one of my readers a FREE ENTRY (!) to run in their 2011 event this October in Park City, UT.  I am *very* excited for this race and let me tell you why-

1. Utah's only All-Female half marathon race. (Think pink!) You know how fun it is to run with your gal pals. Imagine a race with the same appeal as your weekly sweaty gab-fests.
2. Park City! Absolutely one of the most breathtaking places in the world. A real destination race.
3. My friend Cami ran in the inaugural event last year and was one of the first to sign up when registration opened this year. Here's what she said when I asked her what made this race so special-  "I loved the fact that it was small, all women, and we were all wearing pink! Plus, you are in one of the most beautiful venues to run in! :) The time of year makes it really nice too, the weather is cool and crisp, enough to keep you cool...but not freeze you. Also, the SWAG was awesome! They totally treat you like you want to be treated as a girl. The support was fantastic, not to mention the fact that we are racing for a cure for breast cancer. At the end, they had these super handsome men waiting for you at the finish line, all decked out in suits and pink ties... a nice way to end a race! :)"             

Pretty sure she sums it up perfectly. The race directors pull out all the stops to make this an event to remember. And just in case you are not totally convinced that you want to run this race, check out this video from last year's event. Clincher.                        




So, want to know how to enter to win a FREE ENTRY into this fabulous race?! Of course you do!  You can earn up to 4 entries by doing these simple things:
