Yurbuds Winner Announced and Another Way to Win

Tweet

Let me start by saying that I just was contacted today on another way to win your own pair of Yurbuds if you are not the lucky winner today.  You can find that information after the winner is announced below.

I counted, counted again, and then recounted the entries in the Yurbuds Giveaway Post just to make sure I got the correct amount of entries in the in the random.org magic winner picker tool.  The total entries I counted were 62 which means each entry had a 1 in 62 chance to win.... just incase you were wondering what your odds were.  If you had more than one entry you will have to figure that out because I just can't be bothered with trying to figure out what your odds were.  (this line is for my brother in law, that probably doesn't read my blog anyway, but has just quit smoking and I am very proud of him because he is going to start running soon and then he may start reading my blog)

Running The Trails & Win a Pair of YurBuds!

It won't be long before we will be BURIED under 2 inches of snow in the Atlanta area.  That being the case, and from what 2 inches of snow will do to the south I am glad I had the opportunity to hit the trials earlier this afternoon.  I run with my daughter a lot, but today she had a friend to run with so I was just the taxi driver, but while I was there why not get a good trail run in?  Do you run with your family?  If so, why not join me in a new community I am starting on Facebook - Family Running

A Long Run Route Untraveled In Over A Year... & Yurbuds?

Tweet

You gotta love a long run of 12 miles with negative splits! It was only a 1 minute negative split but I will take it after not running this distance since before the marathon and subsequent back issues. The first six miles were in 56:18 and the second six miles in 55:12.

It was 50 degrees and sunny with winds from 20-27 mph when the run started and of course they seemed to be directly in my face most of the time. I ran a long run route that I have not run since training for last years marathon. It was nice to see some old roads that I have not run in nearly 18 months. When I got back home the temperatures were 47, with a feels like temperature of 41, but still felt good to be out there sweating with just my shorts and t-shirt.  Looking at the forecast and my schedule it looks like it may be the last run I get in like this for a little while.
