Presents are always lovely

by SkinnyRunner on January 31, 2012

I’ve been on the computer all day long.  I’ve got a lot of stuff done but also wasted a lot of time on People and DON.   What can I say, I’m only human.

But I’ve caught up on emails which means this post is all about you guys.

Back in December I had Thankfifi on the blog for Cat lady Blogs {hers} and she just sent me, from across the ocean, this beauty of a bag:

The Butterfly Shopper

It’s laminated which I love because it’s easy to clean and keep clean.  and I’m a dirtball.  Plus, I love FiFi’s note: she said that I can carry Marni in it, my sweaty gym clothes (yes!) or Jaybo could even use it for all this shopping!

Thank you Thank you Thank you, Thankfifi!

And then today I received yet another package in the mail…

Godiva chocolates and a bottle of way way too nice for me champagne from Aspaeris compression shorts.  Thank you!  Two of the more important reasons I run – chocolate and bubbly. 

I kid you not, I just wore my shorts yesterday to run 10 miles in:

The code cooleronline still works for 50% off so get yourself a pair!

Reader Trisha asked me to share about a family in need in Utah.

The family’s little daughter has an autoimmune disease, is in need of a bone marrow transplant, and the family has some major medical bills stacked up because of it.

You can read about the story here and donate if you’d like.  Today and tomorrow if you buy any SR shirt (even the ones on sale!), I’ll donate $5 from each shirt to the family.

Readers’ Crappy Race Pics

“Someone was telling us what direction to go for a picture or to keep racing and I couldn’t hear her.  But if you didn’t know that, it just looks like I’m having a nice stroll through the race. This was at the Disney Marathon Relay.”

SR SHIRTS

Check out the cute little Erica in a SR shirt; Erica is running the Rock ‘n’ Roll New Orleans Half coming up next month.

Remember how I found a smoking deal on a Garmin 405 online?  Well, reader Karen scored big time on the same deal!

I LOVE PRESENTS!!! So excited to be the winner of the Sparty Party! Get ready for some SWEET pics of the party…. You’re invited of course! Come to Reno, have a run with me (where I’ll try to catch you!) and then we can relax, wear us some T-shirts and watch Sparty in action!! Can’t decide which to say: “You shouldn’t have but I”m SO glad you did1″ or “I so totally deserve this!” So you get both (yup, lucky day!!) I sent you and email with my address. Can’t put it here. Paparazzi is out of control!!

Hey Lady!! Thanks for the shout out for my deal on the Garmin. In true SR form, you posted my great self portrait in the mirror. I think you have trademarked this pose. I need to do one in the bathroom to truly be in the club!!

Hey SR-
You HAVE to run Miami ING next January. BEST. RACE. EVER! Gorgeous, flat, well organized. Loved it. Perfect weather!

You made an adorable little Minnie Mouse, by the way. Of course! :)

Well, speaking of things we received in the mail today, I got the shirts I ordered and I love them. Thank you so much (and thank you for the advice on sizing – they do run really big so I’m glad I stuck with the smalls). They’re awesome. I think I’m going to wear one to run the Surf City half this weekend so, if I’m lucky, I’ll have a SR shirt pic and an awkward race pic (<– that one is guaranteed) all rolled into one.

I am super jealous of your champagne and chocolates. I would have given my left leg to come home to that in the mail today.

I’m loving the tote and I’m thinking now I might need another SR shirt. People LOVE the punch one I have.

Just what I need, more compression. All I wear is compression, my boyfriend loves it. Especially lime green knee high compression socks, nothing says sexy like that. Time to get some compression shorts!

Glad you love the bag so much! Think in retrospect Marni might actually get lost in there though!x
