Have You Seen My Mate?



Hi, all you people out there in Blogland! Sara is busy watching the Office, so I have taken over her blog with an urgent message.

Single White Sock Looking for Mr. Right

I am Sara's sock. I'm not just any old sock, either. I am one half of a pair of Sara's favorite running socks. I am a Feetures Light Cushion Low-Cut. Lately, I've been terribly lonely because my mate has gone missing. My sweet Mr. Right and I have had a wonderful life together. In fact, we were the socks Sara chose to wear for her marathon. We went 26.2 miles together, making sure Sara's sweaty feet were comfortable and happy. It wasn't an easy feat (pun intended- hey, socks can be funny, too) but we did it. Together. And now, Righty is gone.

We have looked all over the house and just can't find him. Maybe the Sock Fairy took him. Maybe he ran off with that little Pink Sock that was always flirting with him... the little tramp! Perhaps he is lost in the mess of socks in the boys' drawers and can't find his way home.

His disappearance has left me heart-broken but I think I am finally ready to move on. I am looking for a new mate.

An Offer You Can't Refuse
I strategically chose today to commandeer Sara's blog page because this is her 100th post!

Yeah, yeah big deal...

I know a lot of bloggers celebrate these types of milestones by having a "Giveaway".

Well, here's the deal:
Sara doesn't know how to get cool companies to give her things that she can offer up as a prizes. She's sort of a loser that way. So, I decided I would offer up myself as the 100th Blog Giveaway. All you have to do to win me is have a mateless, lonely sock of your own (that's one entry), become a follower of my Sara's blog (that's entry number two), and send me a picture of your lonely sock (if he's good-looking, that's 20 entries... if not, it's one).

You see? It's a win-win-win situation! I get a new mate, you win a match for your mateless sock, and Sara gets upgraded to the status of being a Giveaway Blogger!

Not sure if I'm a good match for your sock? Well, here are some of the things I like best:
  • Rainy nights by the fire
  • Gritty walks on the beach
  • Warm bubble baths in the washing machine
  • Running
  • Adventure

Uh-oh- I better run now... here comes Sara. I just bet she is going to update her Facebook status for the 20th time today.

So long & good luck!

OMG this is seriously the funniest post EVER!! I lost BOTH my favorite socks after my marathon. Pretty sure they were traumatized when they were covered in YUCK and ran away on their own devises..

Hugs..

FYI you can always buy a few Gu's and give that away.. Or make a bracelet, that is what I did for my first Giveaway..

Best blog giveaway EVER!

I once found a sock that I thought was lost in a pair of running shoes that I was no longer wearing.

I've also found lonely socks underneath the floor mat in my car (I guess I was in a HUGE hurry to take those socks OFF).

I also suspect that my dryer eats socks because I have a drawer-full of single socks all searching for a mate...WTF is up with that?

A Few of my Favorite Things Giveaway & Happy Blog Birthday!

Image
Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday, dear Blo-ooog... Happy birthday to blog! One year ago today I posted my very first running blog post. If you feel so inclined, you can read it here .  The funny thing is, I thought I had come up with an original idea:  I would chronicle my marathon-training journey for all the world to see! It didn't take long to discover that there were lots of people out there with running blogs.  Did I mind?  Heck, no!  What I lacked in originality, I gained a hundred-fold in support, encouragement, and knowledge from this incredible community of runners. I believe there is a good chance that I would have given up on running and training if it weren't for my Running Blogger Friends.  Your stories, experiences, triumphs, trials, and heart-breaks have kept the running spark alive in me.   I consider each of my Running Blogger Friends a blessing. In order to thank you and to celebrate my blog's first birthday, I am

Goals and Plans for 2010

I'm caving into the peer pressure and decided to blog about my goals (or "resolutions" if you prefer).  I don't usually make New Year's resolutions but, as always, I've been inspired by my Running Blogger Friends. Health Goals Eat more fruits and veggies... in fact, as of three days ago, I'm a vegetarian.  I'm going to go month-by-month on the whole vegetarian thing.  I'm trying it out to see if being a vegetarian makes me feel any different.   Eat more raw foods Drink at least 60 ounces of water everyday Cut back on sugar Training Goals Ride and Run a total of 2010 combined miles Strengthen my core, ankles & feet, and upper body Join a running group Run or cross-train five days a week Get custom orthotics if current injury-eliminating endeavors don't work   Personal Goals Get clean laundry put away before the pile turns into Mt. Everest I try to be realistic when I set goals.  I think all of those goals are do-able.  We

My Marathon

Image
Well... I FINISHED THE MARATHON! It was tough. I was slow... even slower that I had hoped to be. But I finished it and still had a big smile on my face! My chip time was 6:44:32. See? I told you I was slow. I felt like I was doing great until about mile eight. I felt OK until about mile 13. After that, I hit that wall everyone talks about. I think there were a few contributing factors in play by that time: An annoying and painful blister had developed on the big toe of my right foot. My left heel started hurting pretty badly. I mistakenly thought there were going to be GU packs available around mile 14 so I didn't ration very well. As a result, I ran out of gel packs. The GU station was at mile 17 or 18. My hydration belt kept riding up on my waist and that bugs me. There were many, many positives about the race: The whole thing was very well-organized. The volunteers were awesome! The weather was overcast and drizzly... perfect. It was a fun race with lots of positive e
