Readers and Friends! See Jane Run has a new look! As you can tell from all my exclamation points thus far, I am pretty excited about this! It may be silly but I love this little blog, so I decided it was time to invest a little more into it. And now I want to celebrate!
So here's how I'm going to do it. Not only do I love my little running blog, I absolutely LOVE running socks. I mean, can you ever have too many running socks? No you cannot! And I think we can all agree that a good pair of socks makes quite a difference, especially on those longer, hotter runs (or those super cold and icy ones depending on where you live). So, I want to give 3 readers a pair of their favorite running socks to celebrate my new look (and our mutual love of running socks).
Here's how to participate:
1. Comment on this blog post and tell us the brand/type of your favorite pair of socks and why you love them so much (so we can get a pair too). You might also want to include information like size and where you usually buy these socks in case you win. Don't have a favorite pair yet? Just say so when you enter and I will pick a GREAT pair for you! That will earn you one entry into the contest.
2. If you want another entry (I'm being shameless here and I sort of apologize, but only sort of), go to the Running Start LLC Facebook page and like it. That will earn you a second entry into the contest.
3. For a third and final entry you can follow this blog. But really, I'd like for you to follow only if you really like it. If you DO decide to follow it, I'm going to think you really like my blog (not that all of your running socks have blood stains and holes in them). So be careful with that third and final entry. Hearts are at stake.
Get your entries in by Friday, April 13, 2012. I will do the drawing with the help of a handsome assistant named Jason and announce the winners by April 16.
Enjoy the new look and tell me about your favorite running socks! On your mark...Get set ...GO!
I don't have any socks! I want some. I have been going sockless. I need help!
ReplyDeleteAnd I already like you on facebook!! Love the new look btw :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I follow your blog. But only because I really DO like it!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl! You crack me up! Now you've got THREE entries so maybe you can stop going sockless SOON! :)
Deletei generally don't run in socks. but when i do... i run in coolmax defeet aireators. i first started buying them for cycling (which i also rarely wear socks for), but then i found i like running in them as well. and -- best of all -- they're pretty easy to get for cheap. i usually buy mine from longscycle.com, where they sell 6-pack grab bags (for about $3.50/pair). you don't know what you're going to get, but that's kind of fun because it's usually socks left over from random races and clubs all over the country, in all sorts of assorted colors and designs.

i already follow your blog, and i don't have facebook. but don't enter me in the drawing; it'd be impossible (or at time-consuming and/or expensive) to send socks to tanzania. i just thought i should point people towards some great deals on pretty good socks....
oh, and the new blog looks great. i always read it in my google reader, so i wouldn't have known about the redesign if you'd not told us. and really, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comments and sock suggestions, Brett! If these are good cycling socks, I may need to get some for Jason. And I'm glad you like the blog!
DeleteI love swiftwick! And injinji :-) AND your blog! Oh, and you, too! I got my first pair of swiftwick last fall - they are wonderful, thin, compression socks. I wear the zero ( no show ).
ReplyDelete1. I don't have any favorite socks yet! But I'm working towards running and I could really use some good running sock recommendations!
ReplyDelete2. I {liked} your facebook page.
3. I want to follow your blog but I can't figure out how. I thought I was following before but I never get notifications or anything when you post something new. Am I just a dits? :(
Girl, I'd be all over those good running sock recommendations! I did not know you were starting to run! That is great! Thanks for liking my page. You ARE following me...so I'm not sure why you don't get any updates. Are you using a different google sign in now? I'll take a look and see what I can see.
DeleteHopefully I have it figured out now. :)
DeleteMy favorite running socks are Under Armour Catalyst No-Show Socks. They have a built in arch support as well as good cushioning and keep my feet blister free :)
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog and it is because I like it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kris. I like your blog too. :)
DeleteI like the new look!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm missing out on great running socks. Right now I wear the Due Dry champion brand from Target. What I like is that they fit my toes well, not a lot of extra fabric. My feet are narrow, so I want something snug.
I have a few pairs of those and I like them too.
DeleteAnd now I am following your blog. I already had you set up in my Google Reader, but I guess this makes it official!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following, Anna!!!
DeleteHi Jane. I had trouble finding where to comment, so I hope this is ok. I tried Belaga (sp?)socks last week and loved them.
DeleteShannon
This is perfect Shannon. Those are some of my favorites too!!
DeleteI love the new look! You know I'm already a follower.
ReplyDeleteLike Running Start's fb page
ReplyDeleteMy favorite socks are Wrightsocks (wrightsock.com) but honestly if I win I'd love to have you pick a pair that you really like for me to try.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suz! I've got you down for 3 entries and if you win I will surprise you with a great pair to try!! :)
DeleteI've been reading your blog for probably over a year now and enjoy it so much. I like the redesign too. The only running socks i've had have been Balega that i bought at Fleet Feet. I have both thick and thin pairs. I like they way they hug my feet. I liked your Running Start facebook page and will enjoy having another way to read your thoughts and advice.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that no one has mentioned Swiftwick! I am new to them, but I really like them. My Balega socks wear holes in the heels, so I was ready for a change. I love these socks!
ReplyDeleteI follow Running Start on FB and follow your blog. And you know it's because I really like you!!! Does that get me 3 entries or do I need to post separate comments?
Katie
Yeah, Jason got a few pair for his birthday and I think he likes them. They look cool, at least. :) You've got three entries, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI am still on the hunt for the perfect sock.
ReplyDeleteI follow via GFC
ReplyDeleteI wear Asics right now, but I'm not really into them. I'd like to try Swiftwicks. From what I've read, they're awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm following you on Facebook. Yay!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm following your blog. Are you from AL? Maybe I can figure it out by looking at other spots on the blog. I love finding other southern blogger/runners!
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm in Alabama!
DeleteI wear Balega Women's Enduro 3, no show. Size M. I love these because they have the little cushion for the back of your ankle. Cushion is a must for my ankles!
ReplyDeleteI am already a fan of your Facebook page. Thanks for this great giveaway!
