Expressing thanks: a way for you to gift others
Ever had someone send you a surprise gift?
Remember your delight when you heard the words, “I thought of you and wanted you to have it.”
This week’s giveaway forum has that sort of twist.
With the holiday season upon us, Amy and I would like to say "thank you" to some special runners in the Lounge! We would like to gift other runners with a few items:
- A SpiBelt
- A copy of The Runners Guide to the Meaning of Life, autographed by the author
- A copy of The Complete Book of Beginning Running, autographed by the author
- A 26.2 license plate frame
- A Runners’ Lounge T-shirt
- A $15 iTunes card
- A $15 Starbucks gift card
But instead of having us picking the runners, we invite you to share your thoughts of other runners you would like to recognize with a PDA—public display of appreciation.
Please take a moment to drop off your thoughts in the forum of the Runners' Lounge member(s) to whom you would like say "Thanks" or "I appreciate you." These are difficult times and we hope your running and other runners are helping to sustain you. If so, let them know.
Let us know who they are and why they deserve a "thanks" by November 29th. We will gift the runners on November 30th and mail them to those you appreciate—thanks to you.
On a personal note, both Amy and I are deeply grateful for the wonderful runners and friends we meet at Runners' Lounge. We enjoy learning about your running, what's going on in your lives, and what's important to you.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable Thanksgiving filled with family, friends, and maybe even some running.

Good day!
Check out
an excellent way on how to lose belly fat fast and get abs It is called Abs IQ – http://www.absiq.com
P.S. The program was developed by Bogumil Gizewski a former top fashion model who went to become a top celebrity fitness trainer so he really knows his stuff when it comes to burning fat and getting six pack abs. I was very impressed with all the knowledge and tips he shares in this program. Also I would suggest you visit Bogumil's personal website at http://www.bogumilgizewski.com and sing up for his free fitness newsletter.
Later!
