FREE Stuff Giveaway: Masters of Design Jewelry for Runners

Compiling Tips for Running in Cold Weather came along at just the right time. 

Last week more than 50 Loungers contributed more than 100 pieces of advice for the bone-chilling season we’re facing.  Some of the common themes include:

• Just get out there and do it.
• Cold weather can energize and inspire us.
• The key to dressing is layering a few pieces of clothes as well as a sweat-resistant hat.
• Cheap garden gloves work great and you can use them as kleenex as well.
• Safety including remarks about reflective vests and lights.  It is a great compilation!

The winner of the InFusion Pocket Top from SportHill was Ed Hammerbeck.  Ed, your running top is going to treat you to comfort and style this winter.  Thank you, SportHill, for keeping runners dry and “temperature-tuned.”

So now there's no reason for freezing any body parts this winter.  All of the Cold-Weather Running Tips can be found in the Know How section under Training and Weather and Environment.

This week's Giveaway Partner: Masters of Design

This week’s FREE Stuff Giveaway Partner is also about style.  Masters of Design creates quality custom jewelry for runners.  Their marathon line offers a wide variety of items for men and women to wear symbolizing both what we enjoy and what we’ve accomplished. 

I recently was admiring their jewelry at the Chicago Marathon expo and overheard others saying, "This is just what we've been looking for."  I think that translates into: after our humility takes over and we stop wearing our race medals—including secretly wearing them under our clothes—it’s nice to have a commemorative piece to remind us of our achievements. 

As a reminder of our passion for running, Masters of Design will be giving away its popular sterling silver key ring.

To be eligible to win, just contribute your advice this week.  All Loungers who contribute to the Giveaway Question between November 10 - 15 will be eligible to win.  Runners’ Lounge will select and announce the winner on November 17th.

This week's Giveaway Question:

What is your advice for surviving (and maybe even thriving during) the holidays?

The forum runs Nov 10-15.  Your response can be as short as a sentence and as long as a blog post or story. Leave your response today to become eligible!
