Around the Lounge: Selection Sunday & Win New Running Shoes

Yes, it’s selection Sunday for the Big Dance.  And with the weekly Around The Lounge check-in, we wanted you to know that a few new members of the Lounge community have been especially selected too. 

Two new members we believe you’d like to get to know are Bill, also known as Marathon Dude Bill, and Carol.  Bill has a big place for running and runners in his life, and his story is amazing of how he has skyrocketed to marathon success after only a few years running. 

An avid trail runner, Carol, who goes by Coyote Girl, joined the Lounge recently and has quickly won our hearts with her story Saturday Morning Fever.   We know you’ll enjoy getting to know them. 

Discovering a new and interesting running blogger is always refreshing.  So we’ve selected two new bloggers to shout out this week.   We know you'll enjoy the running blogging world of Jess at Run Girl Run, and Shelah at Hitting the Ground Running.  Both are great running bloggers.

To recommend a Lounge member to feature, just send Amy or me an email with your suggestion.  And don't be too modest; it's just fine to suggest yourself.

Free Running Shoes

Since it's Selection Sunday, how would you like to be selected to win free running shoes?  We’re pleased to announce a monthly giveaway of new running shoes awarded for the featured story selected each month for the Extraordinary Running Awards on the Runners' Lounge community site. 

To be eligible, please submit your story by April 4th.  All current stories are already eligible to win.  The winner of the first pair of shoes will be announced April 11th.

Hope your favorite teams make it to the Big Dance.

Hi Tom

Thanks for the mention. I think the new features on the site are amazing and we just need to get the word out there. Runners tend to be so passionate about their chosen sport and the lounge offers them a great place to meet and enjoy the company of their fellow athletes.
