"Gone for a Run" Gift Certificate Giveaway!

Hey there running buddies, I'm excited to be hosting a giveaway for a $25 gift certificate to the online running shop "Gone for a Run"!

Gone for a Run has a HUGE range of fabulous gift products for runners, including:
-running clothing
-TONS of running accessories
-BibFOLIOs
-customized medal hangers
-race jewelry
-bib coasters and drinkware
-running headlamps

So basically everything a runner could ever want or need!

The generous folks over at Gone for a Run sent me three fabulous items for my review:
1)  a sterling silver 26.2 Marathon hand stamped pendant and stick figure runner charm necklace
2) a beautiful purple Bunji WideBAND elastic athletic headband
3)  a set of 5 Hairbees!  I love my hairbees-- these are designed specifically for runners and won't slip.  Word on the street is that this style is very trendy these days, but don't let me be the judge of how stylish something is, I just pick my clothes and accessories based on how neon it is.
I was SO impressed by their customer service.  Rachel, the rep from the company who I chatted with, was very friendly and helpful.

To enter my giveaway, please leave a comment below telling me why you love running OR what you'd like to buy from Gone for a Run.

For a bonus entry, please tweet about the giveaway (and tell me that you did so in the comments)!  You can copy and paste this message:

Thanks for entering, happy running!

  32. I love running because it takes me away from the 'Old Liz' who weighed 286 pounds and was so depressed it almost killed her and to the 'New Liz' who loves waking up in the morning.

    If I won, I would buy the triathlon bead that's been in my Gone for a Run cart since July 29 when I finished my first full triathlon.

  36. I love running, because it empowers me to be my best! It doesn't matter how far I run, or how fast I run, I am empowered to push myself farther and faster. With each half marathon, 10k, or 5k I run, I feel accomplished and strong with every finish. Running gives me a chance to escape, especially trail running, to be in the serenity of nature. I love running because it is challenging, it brings health to my body, it brings independence, and it brings personal victories. I love traveling and running new trails and streets. I love running, because running is an adventure!
