GIVEAWAY!

Thanks to everyone who commented on my Surf Shitty Race Report. I am feeling a lot better today and I was actually going through some older posts this morning and found this one a post about another run that I had while I was sick back in September. "It's only when you realize how hard running can be is when you appreciate the talent it takes, to even go out and have the determination and will to complete mile after mile. I appreciate my body being able to take mile after mile of my pounding sidewalk after sidewalk, and it's when I can barely do that anymore I realize what a feat I continue to do by just running alone." I know that running is incredibly mental, and on Sunday for some reason, my mind just wasn't there. I didn't believe in myself and that's why I felt like a failure the entire run.

I'm glad that it's over now and I know I just have to get out there (once I can move again) and get back after it. I am doing a small four mile trail run this weekend and I know it will be a nice change of scenery and I'm really looking forward to it. Tomorrow night I think I'm going to try to go out and run again, but I know I have to give my body a rest and just relax. I'm still incredibly sore from the race and I oddly enough got really chafed as well, which has not been fun to deal with.

I'm so thankful for everyone and their kind words. You all reminded me that running is hard, it's not easy and I know I should be grateful for finishing another race and even having the ability to run. Thanks for putting up with my rant and now... onto the giveaway!


So as promised today I will be sharing my GIVEAWAY in honor of my 100 posts!! It's going to be going on from February 3rd to the 10th, and I will announce a winner on the 11th! I've talked about this great book before, and now there is a new one in the series. Of course, I'm talking about the Eat this, Not That! books.

I started reading the one that is about fast food and it really opened my eyes to a lot of things that I thought I knew but didn't really understand when it came to eating fast food. I always though eating chicken would be better for you, but as this book has told me sometimes it's not worth it at all. There are so many options and nutrition is important to all of us. The latest book is the Supermarket Survival Guide and it's the one I'll also be giving away to one lucky person!

I am in dire need of some nutritional help and this book really allowed me to analyze the labels of some of my favorite foods and also made me realize that just because it says 100 Calories! or Healthy, doesn't mean that it is truly healthy or even good for you. There are many features of the Eat This Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide including the 20 Worst Foods in the Supermarket, the Ultimate Supermarket Label Decoder, 17 Secrets the Food Industry Doesn't Want You to Know, Shop Once, Eat for a Week, and my personal favorite, How to Stock the Perfect Pantry. This book can help you navigate your shopping carts through the thousands of nutritional pitfalls in every grocery store to help you lose weight, save cash, and bring home the tastiest, healthiest choices every time.

Here's Amazon's review of the book: With tens of thousands of products crammed into the walls of the neighborhood supermarket, trying to find a reliable snack, pantry product, or frozen dinner can be a serious challenge. The Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide changes all of that, offering discerning shoppers everywhere a simple plan for finding the healthiest foods for them and their families. Beyond homing in on the best and worst in the world of packaged foods, the Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide scours the aisles to help you pick the most nutrient-packed produce, the leanest, tastiest cuts of meat, exotic cheeses that double as healthy snacks, and the best contaminant-free fish the ocean has to offer.

Hope you guys enter and I can't wait to pick a winner! :)
