In two weeks I will be running my 6th half marathon. I ran this same race last year as my 2nd half marathon. I'm really excited as it's going to be a fun girl's weekend but also because I've put in a lot of hard work and hope to set a new PR.
After coming off an injury following my marathon I wasn't sure what this year would hold as far as running and PRs but I'm happy to report that running has been great and my hip has felt pretty well on most of my runs. I'm loving the cooler temps and gorgeous weather days we've been blessed with here in East Tennessee the last week or so and definitely hope that Georgia is blessed with the same 2 weeks from today when I head down to run 13.1 ATL.
As you know I am a procrastinator but I am happy to report that today I am going to tell you about a product that I've been using this year on all my long runs. Running long distance it is necessary for me to carry some form of "fuel" and also have a place to store my car key, extra Imodium and even the emergency TP these days as well as my iPod on the rare occasion I decide to listen to music on my run. So what does someone like me do with all that stuff while I am running? I carry it in my SpiBelt.
I purchased my SpiBelt at the expo for the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon. I was a little leery of using a new item for a race when I had not previously done a long run with it but the girl at the expo gave me her word that it would stay in place. So having that information I decided to give it a go. I purchased the polka dot belt and a couple of the loops for my bib so that I wouldn't have to pin it on my shirt. I loved that my belt wasn't plain and was colorful enough to match almost any running outfit I wore! And of course having the loops for my bib was nice and kept my shirt from being snagged by safety pins.
I was able to stash my phone, sports beans, toilet paper, a good luck charm, my iPod and extra Imodium in my SpiBelt for race day. I was also able to use my Amphipod clip and bottle to my belt should I need the extra water. I was surprised at how much room was in my SpiBelt as well as the fact that it really DID NOT move up and down on my waist. I love using it on my long runs and plan to wear it for my half marathon coming up in a couple of weeks.
After my marathon the folks at SpiBelt sent me a red SpiBelt to host a give away on my blog. I've promised you all for way to long to get this up and now I am finally doing it! YAY!
So here's the deal... I will leave this giveaway open until October 8th at noon (Eastern). Now, what do you have to do to get in on it?
