Run Happy Holiday Gift-Away
My husband and I love the Christmas holiday season. One of our yearly traditions is to watch all of our favorite holiday movies in the weeks leading up to Christmas. One of those is Elf. I can just hear Buddy the Elf (aka Will Ferrell) saying his famous line: “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.”
Well, Buddy, I hate to break it to you, but you’ve got that wrong.
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is giving away lots of running gear!
To celebrate all your incredible running and fitness accomplishments during 2015 and to sincerely thank each and every one of you for reading runladylike.com and sharing your stories, encouragement and passion with me, I’m giving away some amazing running gear from my dear friends at Brooks Running just in time for the holidays.
What You Can Win
- One pair of Brooks Running shoes of your choice – You can choose from any pair of shoes at BrooksRunning.com. My favorites are the Brooks PureCadence (lightweight stability shoe I’m holding above) and Ghosts (traditional neutral shoe).
- One Brooks Running Greenlight Headband to keep your ears warm on chilly runs – It’s reversible so it’s like getting two ear warmers in one. One side has a pattern and the other side is solid.
- One pair of Brooks Running Greenlight Gloves to keep your hands warm on cold runs – These gloves are AMAZING! There is a little magnet that keeps them together when you aren’t wearing them so they don’t get lost or separated. There is a tiny little pocket on both palms, and they have reflectivity to keep you visible.

My running goal for 2016 is to do my first half marathon. Reading this blog and the comments always inspire me and encourage me.
I’ve been wanting to try those pure cadence! Yay for giveaways!
While I do love “Elf”, I think running gear is even better! I think in 2016 I will attempt the half marathon (again) with a legit training plan and try to PR. Even though that is super slow for most, it would be great for me.
Hoping to beat my previous 1/2IM time at 70.3 Syracuse! Great giveaway – happy holidays!
Love the Pure Cadence too! My running goals for 2016 are to increase my weekly base mileage and to run a half marathon. Always inspired by your blog. Thx!

My goal for 2016 is to increase my comfort level with running with other people. I really, really want to run with a group…but I’m terrified of having to introduce myself.
That is such an awesome goal Loni. Don’t be intimidated. There is nothing better than welcoming a new face into a running group. It may take a few runs to feel connected, but it is the best thing in the world to run with a group. Just take a leap and do it. You’ll be so glad you did. Running with a group changed my life. xoxo
You just knocked my socks off by replying directly to me! Thank you for being amazing! 🙂

I had a big year this year as far as the amount of marathons I ran but have been feeling flat lately. I hope to get my speed back up and feel strong in 2016.
I love the pizza shirt, guessing it was from this year’s Chicago Marathon.
You will get that mojo back in no time Jeffrey. Some rest and changing things up for a bit often does the trick after a big racing season. Congrats! The pizza shirt was from the Chicago Marathon. I bought it at the Brooks store at the expo. Happy running in 2016! xo
I hope 2016 has a new half marathon PR & picking my next Marathon
My goal for 2016 is to break 2 hours in the half!
Get back to running slow and steady. Broken foot in 2014 carried over to hardly any running in 2015 with lingering injury. 2016 I’m back!
My biggest goal is my Ironman, which is also currently my first full marathon.
