you heard right and no, this isn’t an April fools joke….

IT’S GIVEAWAY TIME!!!!

Okay, enough of me acting like I’m at the circus and working for peanuts. This giveaway is for runners and non-runners alike. The wonderful and very generous Online Shoes contacted me to give away a $100 GIFT CERTIFICATE to their site to one lucky commenter. Wild, I know. Generous, I know. They have super great stuff for all occasions including heels, flip-flops and running shoes. Even better is that they have running clothes as well. The site is easy to navigate and with that much selection a girl can get in trouble!

I personally have shopped on Online Shoes, and they had superb customer service, easy transactions and great prices. With FREE SHIPPING and a 90 day return policy, how can you go wrong? I am a SUCKER for free shipping! All a super bonus to their sweet selection of shoes. They even have a pretty cool new section dedicated to New Balance Shoes, which I know some of you swear by. They have Uggs, Seychelles, Franco Sarto, Adidas… tons of great brands, so first off check them out.

Secondly, to ENTER THE GIVEAWAY…. Leave a comment with what shoes you would get with your gift certificate for $100… I know I’m making you work just a little bit, BUT it’s because it’s for ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

My comment would say, “Chic Runner would get these sweet Clark Wedges in black, because not all my shoes need to be running shoes (and I have a sick obsession with wedges) ”

Easy as me getting McDonalds for lunch yesterday, so enter away! Also, playing by the rules of most giveaways there are more ways to get more entries. If you want TWO entries and are not yet a follower, you can become a follower by clicking on the stalk me follow button on the right side (if you already are, or choose to become one, just put that in your comment so I can take note) and for THREE entries, post something about this giveaway on your blog and I’ll enter you three times. (leave that in the comment too)

Sadly, this giveaway is only available to US Residents. (next time all you Canadians, eh?) Also, if you are picked by the random number generator that I love, you will have to give me your email address and real first and last name. Don’t worry I won’t spam you or steal your identity.

Good luck to everyone!

Now onto a completely unrelated giveaway topic of my life, I got the opportunity to go to the House of Blues Anaheim to check out The Lost Trailers and Luke Bryan. I am not a hardcore country follower… but I do like the music and man, both these bands were GREAT. I really like the Lost Trailers new song, How ’bout You Don’t. You should check them out, they are really a fun band. I had randomly met a guy from the Lost Trailers and he got Mr. R and I tickets to the show and I am forever thankful to him. It was amazing and so cool to see him live. It’s weird to see so many girls screaming for them. Secondly, LUKE BRYAN I have a crush. Holy Moly, I must need to look at guys more often because DANG. Okay, I’m off that topic now. Thanks again Stokes and the Lost Trailers for a great show!

Finally tonight I am going to go for a short little four miler to see how I feel. I hope the cold is behind me and I won’t be hacking up a lung out on my run, and I know that easing myself back into running will be the best thing for me. Tomorrow I’ll have some sweet deals so keep your eyes peeled for those…. now, comment away!!

Well 2009 is upon us isn’t it. I’m a little late on wishing everyone a happy 2009, but hope everyone had a wonderful new years. I have much to catch you all up on, so some of my upcoming posts may be some stories that have happened over the break, but don’t worry they are funny none the less.

Mr. R and I had a wonderful New Year’s Dinner at a nice restaurant in Newport Beach.

I had a Filet Mignon and it was delicious! Then we went back and hung out at played rock band with a couple that he knows. It was pretty fun. Then the next day USC DOMINATED! I was happy about that and all the football that has been happening lately! The San Diego Charger game the other night was super intense and I am happy they are going on so I have a team to root for. I am also excited for the big game this week because I don’t want Florida to win.

Speaking of things to watch on TV, Biggest Loser starts up again tomorrow and I can’t wait! This season is going to be so good, and I love watching the show because it’s so motivating. Make sure to catch it tomorrow night at 8 pm on NBC.

So with the last pictures I posted, the girls seemed to love them, and I had a few, AHEM, BOYS, who only wanted to see pictures of my new shoes. So here is your eye candy fellas.

The Nike Span +5 Running Shoe in Black and Pink, which I’m obsessed with especially because this morning I realized they matched my running leggings from Target. I know, I’ve left my Pegasus and switched from the Vulmero to these babies. I feel like they offer the same type of cushion as my old pegs but with a little more support in the heel, which is nice. So far I’ve put in a torturous 8.8 miler, and then a great, fast 3.5 miler on them. I like how light they are and look forward to putting in some mileage on them. As I was picking out my shoes, I came to the realization that alas, I’ll be back at the store in three months getting new shoes, so it really doesn’t even matter. Sadly.

These beasts are the Asiscs GEL-Trail Attack 4 WR. To be honest, I was skeptical about the need for different shoes to run trails in and then regular road running. Once I put these on though, my mind was instantly changed. They are light and much different than running shoes and I am looking forward to running some trails in the near future! They are a lot different than shoes I normally pick, but I figured it would be fun to get something different.

The 8.8 miler I got in this weekend was evil! I got to about 6.5 and thought this is NEVER going to end, and it was drizzling which is never good for me. I was not motivated to finish it, but continued to run the whole way and was glad I at least got my miles in. I’m looking forward to the half coming up Feburary 1st. It will be a good race and I run the route for training all the time.

This morning I got up and there was ICE on all the cars I ran past. I know, wild for us southern Californians. I have so much respect for those of you getting out there in super cold temperatures. I put in a quick little three miler, Tomorrow I’ll post a little bit about my 2009 resolutions and am hoping to get some input on what you think of some training plans. Can’t wait to catch up with all of you guys, so if you get a bunch of random comments from me today, just know I’m reading! :) So get ready to be chic in ’09!

xoxo
