I had some help opening it from my little guy! He was a happy camper and tore right into it!
Woo hoo, mamma's got a new pair of shoes!! Well, thats what my little guy thought:)
Inside that very cool shoe box was an awesome NATHAN water bottle and a few packs of PowerBar GEL!! There were two packs of strawberry banana and one pack of double latte:) I can't wait to try these out on some of my next longer runs!
I even found this in the box!! I love it!! Thank you Adam:) Your little brown package just made my day!! This is the first time that I have ever received anything from the state of Arizona! Just so you know....now that I have your address...you will be receiving the Julie's Running Blog family Christmas card:) Are you super excited?
The water bottle was made for me...seriously, I didn't have to adjust it at all. It fits perfect and is actually really comfy:) I have decided that when I get 100 followers I will host my very own special blogger giveaway too!!This weekend was kind of crazy again because Kay had another fun packed weekend of basketball games. This is her last basketball weekend for three or four weeks. I am really looking forward to having my weekends free. Next Saturday morning I plan on driving to St. Cloud for my first group run with the St. Cloud River Runners:) I took both Friday and Saturday off from running but made it outside today to finish a 6.66 virtual run that I had signed up for. Razz put together a virtual Global Warming, My Ass! 6.66 Mile Run!! So, myself and about sixty-some other bloggers joined in and commited to run it and then report about it after:) Razz I will post my race report in a few days. I need to check out my garmin and get the details before I ramble on about this very cool run:)
I hope that everyone had an excellent weekend!! I need to drive college boy to the bus station....so that is all I have:) Happy training!!
Please go check out Anne Marie's blog she is hosting a wonderful Athleta's running gear giveaway:) The clothes are beautiful and stylish...you will not be disappointed!!
Fun stuff! Nathan's bottles are the best, although I much prefer their hydration packs as I don't concentrate well carrying stuff while I run. The double latte gels are quite good!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to win something. I am entering them all of the time... my number hasn't been called yet.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the wonderful shoe box of goodies! I really want a Nathan water bottle but am not sure if a pack would be better for me. Thats why I don't have one is because I can't decide haha! Glad you had a good weekend :)
ReplyDeletewhat a great win, I love giveaways! I've been looking at hand held water bottles, think I might have to splurge and buy one for when the weather gets warmer. look forward to your virtual run race report!
ReplyDeletethanks for your sweet comments on my last couple of posts about the botox! I think I'll invest in some more wrinkle cream first! : )
Nice score on the little brown package! Cute little guy helping open the box! and good job on the run - D
ReplyDeleteWinning something seems to makes it extra special, doesn't it? Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I hope to win something some day. Sigh. I have to say you are one of the best commenters. I see you on so many blogs and you write such nice thoughtful comments! Where do you find the time? Glad you won!
ReplyDeleteWow! That sounds like such a fun package! I also love the Nathan bottles. I use one of the hydration belts. It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the score!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool...nothing better than winning fun stuff. I am anxious to read your race report. I have to find some time to do my 6.66 this week...I think mine will be definite non-race though!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway to win! Enjoy your handheld.
ReplyDeleteI really could have used one of those for todays run, congrats
ReplyDeleteVery cool that you won. Getting packages is awesome. Unfortunately, I have to pay for them.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win, i love a good handheld. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! Can't beat a good handheld. Even on days I wear the CamelBak I still carry a handheld for something. :)
ReplyDeleteCool gift and great job to get out there and run the virtual race!
ReplyDeleteFun! Congrats on the Blogger giveaway winnings. Looks like you got some great stuff.
ReplyDeleteNice job getting out there for the virtual race!
Congrats! Nathan water bottles are the best. Great pics, and the little guy's a cutie. Careful, they grow-up fast!
ReplyDeletehey julie great idea...next time tell adam shoes would be preferable ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Julie, how fun to get a package on Friday! I wish I was driving my C Boy back to the train station but he's not coming home until summer vacation, I can hardly stand it. I hope you all had a fun weekend together! By the way, your little guy is a cutie pie. Do your two boys get along?
ReplyDeleteHugs and have a nice week!
Congrats on getting into Grandma's Half and on your super cool water bottle prize! What a great week you had! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteAwesome win! I always love getting packages in the mail :) And as always, you have great photos!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! My giveaway prize will be coming your way this week... I promise! After I got your address, I was set to send it out and realized the car sticker was missing. I looked all over the place and finally decided it must have gotten thrown out or something. I was trying to think of a replacement item... and then the other day, I opened up a picture book to read to my preschool students and out the sticker fell! I was so delighted and the kids must have thought I was crazy. :D So, now I have all the items and will mail it Monday or Tuesday. But not in a shoebox. ;)
ReplyDeleteNice to win something like that! Good stuff! Looks like a cool bottle. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of your little guy with the box over his head. He's got a great smile! I have a Nathan handheld water bottle that I love. I think you'll love your new one too. Enjoy it and have a great week!
