Super Fabulous Giveaway!

by blueeyedrunner on January 3, 2011

A while back, Megan from Build A Sign reached out to me regarding a giveaway on the blog. I prefer to keep all giveaways running or fitness related so at first I wasn’t sure why a sign company would want to do a giveaway on my blog but its actually really cool. The company designs all kinds of signs, stickers, etc. but the fun thing is you can design your own signs. I was able to create my own Blue-Eyed Runner bumper sticker!
Here’s how it came out:
 DSC00984

What do you think?? I love it :)

I designed the entire thing. The picture is one my dad took after a race, and I was able to choose the font, colors, borders, etc. It was really fun and I am very excited with how it came out!

Now, one reader gets to design a bumper sticker of their own! All you have to do is tell me what you would put on your sticker. It can be whatever you want. To be honest, I probably won’t even put mine on my car, because I hate cars cluttered with stickers and I already have a 26.2 sticker on there. I loved the sticker I designed and plan on putting one on my bulletin board, one in my classroom, and giving them out to friends and family. I also love the quote. If you want a copy of the bumper sticker I designed, let me know and I will send them out to up to 5 people (US and Canada only please) and I’ll be sure to throw some other goodies in there as well.

I am back to work today so this schedule may get rearranged but I like to try and plan it out. We will see how this week turns out. I am feeling good with one week of training under my belt and my abs are even a little sore from yesterday’s Pilate’s class, but my legs feel great after having a day off. Hopefully work will go smoothly today and I will be able to get a good run in later. We shall see!
Happy Monday everyone!

*Are you going back to work today for the first time after the holidays? Are you ready?
Yes and no. Cooper is ready for me to go back though. We have been tiring him out with play dates, etc. He didn’t even eat his breakfast this morning he is so pooped!

Pooped Coop.

*Are you dreading all of the new year’s resolution people hitting your gym for the next few weeks?
My gym is always pretty packed but big enough so that using the machines isn’t a huge problem. I hate how crowded the parking lot gets though. Is this terrible? I should probably be supportive of people trying to get in shape!
