Today is National Running Day so go hit the pavement or trails and RUN. I actually feel a little guilty because the run that is on my training schedule for today is only for 15 minutes. But then I looked ahead at Sunday's run and note that I am not getting off so easy (which happens to be 2 hours).
In celebration of National Running Day many of my favorite companies are offering great discounts and a chance to receive some schwaaaag! You can check it out here: http://www.runningday.org/
One of them is Timex Sports:
Timex Sports is celebrating National Running Day 2013 by asking runners to Tweet or Instagram using #IMARUNNER to benefit the One Fund Boston, helping those most affected by the Boston Marathon attack on April 15, 2013. Timex will donate $5 for each eligible submission to the One Fund Boston, up to $15,000 total.
Timex is also giving away 60 Timex Ironman watches to runners who use the #IMARUNNER hashtag on National Running Day. For a chance to win a Timex Ironman watch, submit your running story on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #IMARUNNER on Wednesday, June 5. Runners can also enter by submitting a photo or story directly on the Timex Sports Facebook page #IMARUNNER tab. Winners will be selected at random. For the complete rules and regulations, click here.
Even if you don't really do Twitter it is still worth it to enter the contest. Just Tweet once, it's all it takes. And if you win one of these watches you will SCORE big-time!
So Happy Running Day ..even if your "run" involves chasing after the kids, have fun today and celebrate in a healthy way!
