Hello everyone!
Today is a great day. It is not only National Run day but it is also my birthday. What better way to celebrate than to give out some prizes to those who participated in the Scavenger Hunt.
But first, to celebrate National Running Day here are a few discounts. If you are considering one of the Rock n Roll Series Races, you 'll want to go HERE NOW. They are having a 24 hour sale on their race series. Some of them are up to 25% off! Go sign up so you can run RnR Vegas with us in the Fall!
You can also join in on the Virtual Runs that are going on today. Register HERE to do a virtual run on your own or to find a city that will be hosting one. If you plan on running today anyway, you might as well sign up. It's free and you get some fun stuff! Don't forget to submit your proof of time for your chance to win a Running Day Prize pack.
Don't forget we have the Bondi Band giveaway going on till the end o the week.
Also, use the code SWEATPINK to get 10% off your Bondi Band purchase on their website.
If you are planning on buying two or more pair of compression socks or sleeves from Pro Compression, use code JUNE to get 50% off your order ( of two or more). So basically it's like getting one pair free. Hmm, now might be a good time to stock up on Holiday gifts, maybe?
Okay, now what most of you have probably been waiting for.
Next, we want to give a HUGE "Thank You" to all of you who participate in the hunt. We really enjoyed the interaction with you through Facebook and Twitter and we got to meet some new runners/walkers! We enjoyed seeing all the pictures that would come through our newsfeeds each day. We want to share some of the pictures you sent in to us. Some of them literally made us LOL!
The Animal crossing signs proved to be difficult for some people to find because we did get a lot of "School Crossing" signs but those who did find animal crossing signs really made us laugh. Here are a few.
Kristy W must have been running some place cold to get this sign.
Kelsey found this Firefly crossing sign while running near Boston.
Who knew we had to take caution for Butterfly crossing? This picture was submitted by Gloria D.
I would love to stop and watch miniature ponies cross the road! This was submitted by Gabby. L.
Most Unique Roadkill
This is an Armadillo found by Karen S. If you've never seen one of these before, now you have!
Mara just couldn't bring herself to take a picture of a dead animal, so she submitted this one instead.
Disney Lawn Ornaments seemed to be a challenge for most people, but here a few that our readers submitted. I think I may need to get a few of these!
