by Team Hargrave on August 10, 2010

Post image for Blog Giveaway!!! ~ SPIbelt

We are so ecstatic to have another blog giveaway from a great company! We’ve been talking to our friends over at SPIbelt about how much we love their product and wanted to give our readers a chance to win one! We have seen many creative ways to carry personal belongings while running a race. Everything from high-tech expensive brand carriers to duck tape! We happen to think the perfect small personal item carrier is SPIbelt! See why we love SPIbelt here. Lucky for you, we have one to giveaway but you must show us the most creative way to carry your items. Best creation will win a SPIbelt!

Ok, so here is how its going to go down… You have two things to do for an entry and you have 48 hours to get it done.

  1. Funny Photo: Send us a photo of the most creative way to carry personal items while working out to “therunningcouple@gmail.com”. If you don’t have one…we encourage you to create one. We’ll add all pics to our Flickr stream for everyone to see! We’ve put one of our favorite pics below to get you thinking…
  2. Tweet it: Send out a tweet containing the following phrase: “I just entered the @runningcouple @SPIbelt Giveaway at http://bit.ly/SPIbeltGiveaway“. Feel free to do whatever with the remaining 50+ characters!

We’ll announce the winner on Friday morning. Good Luck!

We have a winner!!!

A big thank you to all that participated in our contest. We sent our Facebook photo link to our friends at SPIbelt and they selected their favorite. Congratulations to Jennifer Whitter! She submitted a picture of her homemade tutu’s as a form of carrying her small personal items.

Our Road ID Giveaway Winners!

by Team Hargrave on July 9, 2010

We know…we are a little late to announce the winners to our Road ID giveaway, but there were so many awesome entries! Before we get too much into it, we wanted to thank everyone who participated and Road ID for allowing us to do such an event. We were so impressed with your responses that we went back to Road ID and asked if we could do two prizes for this giveaway… one for the Tweets & Facebook Fan adds and one for the blog comments. Of course Road ID, being the awesome company they are, said yes. We had 43 tweets, 26 Facebook Fan adds, and 23 comments entered into the contest. Being the engi-nerd that Lee is, he generated a Microsoft Excel file to randomly select the winners. Drumroll please…

Twitter/Facebook Fan Winner: @bgervais

Blog Entry Winner: 26.2 Quest

Congratulations! Send us an email at therunningcouple@gmail.com with your shipping address and we will get those on the way!

Our Favorite Things: Road ID

July 2, 2010

Accidents happen…even to runners. While we don’t like to think about these events, it is always a good idea to be prepared. Each year approximately 450,000 of us are taken to hospitals unconscious and without identification. This is where Road ID comes in. Road ID was formed by the father and son team of Mike [...]

My Favorite Winter Running Gear

Running in Snow by Simone B. December 2, 2009

As I surfed Twitter this morning, most comments were about all the snow in North Texas.  While this is the first blast of cold weather in our area, I was already prepared due to some subfreezing runs in Germany last month.  With winter staring most of us in the face, I thought I would review [...]

The Running Couple at San Antonio RnR Marathon November 28, 2009

We thought it would be a good idea to introduce our blog readers with a brief background of the Hargraves and our ideas of where this blog is going to go. Established in 2007, running has always played a big role in our relationship…usually in the testing department!  When we met in 2006, Lee was training for the [...]
