I'd enter every giveaway I came across, trying to win one. I'd go to the website and put one in a cart...and then be told that money was tight that day and to hold off...and then I'd let it go.
This year, Endorphin Warrior so generously offered a bracelet to each of the Team Nuun Hood to Coast Relay participants. This was seriously like the cherry on top of a super fantastic experience! I had always thought I'd choose to put 'RELENTLESS' on the bracelet when I finally got one, but when it came time to put in my order, I knew that wasn't what I needed. I realized that I am, by nature, already relentless. I mulled over the question, "Of what do I need to be reminded?"
see...i am old...lizardy old lady skin proves it ;-)
I wore this bracelet from the moment I took it out of the bag. I loved wearing it while running in that race...and while reflecting in the van. And now that the race is over, I wear it all the time. It is a strong, beautiful (and comfortable) reminder to keep faith...in myself, in others, in 'the process,' in life. To believe.
I am thrilled to have the opportunity to pass along an Endorphin Warrior Training Bracelet with keyword or phrase of choice to a lucky winner whose name will be chosen at random by the random number generator at random.org on Sunday, September 16, 2012 at 11:59 p.m. and announced on Monday, September 17th...whatever time I manage after staying up so late the night before waiting for last minute entries ;-)
To enter, please visit the Endorphin Warrior website and let me know in a comment what keyword or phrase speaks to you.
Bonus entries given for:
- following this blog on GFC (click on sidebar) or Twitter

That is a total of 6 bonus entries to take advantage of! Please do leave a separate comment for each entry you submit. And don't lie. (Yes, people do). Keep your karma clean :)
You gotta play to win...and may the odds be ever in your favor.

ReplyDeleteI can't decide which of those three is my favorite! I have wanted one forever, too, and need to just get it for myself!
I'd get the one that says "Persevere." *You* know why. (I wish they had "Redeem.")

ReplyDeleteI always thought I would use "believe." That was the gift I brought during the HTC gift exchange last year. But as I revisited the website, "strength" is the word that spoke to me.

ReplyDeleteI tweeted!

If I don't win one, I'm going to have to buy one, since this contest ends the day after my first marathon! RELENTLESS and FEARLESS are my two favs.

ReplyDeletePersevere speaks to me. I feel like life hands us one challenge after another, and we have to remember to persevere and chase our bliss. Nothing should get in the way.
ReplyDeleteI soooooo want this bracelet!

ReplyDeleteSo many anti-Canadian giveaway. Grumble. I take careful note of all these giveaways that say no Canadians need apply. You'd think they thought the mail didn't work here or came by dogsled or something. Or they figure if a Canadian wins nobody will ever see it, and that it will gain them no marketing kudos. Who knows what these companies think? IF they think at all. Grumble. Whine. Complain. Goes away now to drown sorrows in a glass of wine.
ReplyDeleteI would choose believe. I could use it. I need to believe I can beat MS!
ReplyDeleteBelieve!

ReplyDeleteI like Warrior. Reminds me I'm tougher than I think.
ReplyDeleteMy word is STRENGTH...its a word I use frequently and a reminder I often need.
ReplyDeleteMy word would be courage. To remind myself that despite all of my doubts in myself, I DO have courage and I CAN use it.

ReplyDelete"Breathe" For while that is but a simple thing, and we do it without thought, when things get very tough, whether that is in our training or our personal lives, that simple act when focused on, can help us get through the worst of storms.
