My 1st Giveaway!

*1st I want to put a little disclaimer out there for yesterday's post. I would never advocate running through true pain (ie, knee, cramp, tear, etc) if it is serious. In the post I was referring to the general pains our bodies have when trying to push beyond what is 'comfortable', the aches and pains that are part of the running life. :)

I've been complaining a lot lately about the heat, humidity, and the sweaty soaked state I seem to return home in each day. One of these complaints has been the sweat rolling down and burning my eyes. A lot of my bloggy-friends have suggested a good hat or headband for this problem. Well, I have a big head (Literally, not figuratively lol) so hats are generally too small for my noggin, and those cute little sports headbands always pop off the top of my head as I run. No cute cheerleader look for me.

I've heard a lot about a certain company around the blogo-sphere: BondiBand
I decided I wanted to give these awesome looking headbands a try, so I ordered one and mentioned to Rebecca (Managing Director, BondiBand) that I heard about BondiBand on another blog. She was so nice and sent me three extra for a giveaway on my blog!! 

I've had mine at the house for a few days now and was super excited to go out this morning for my run with it on. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous about slippage while running due to previous experiences with headbands, but I can honestly say that it didn't budge the entire time!! No more annoying hair-clips, no bangs in my eyes, no sweat rolling down! Awesome!! It was so comfy and kept me feeling good throughout my run (not to mention stylish).

Me returning from my first BondiBand experience (like my BondiBand choice? Fitting lol):
What? I'm Smiling? Yes!

Now, for the giveaway. I'm offering up 1 BondiBand each for 3 lucky followers! Each winner will be sent 1 of the following choices at random:

  31. I've been wanting to try out a BondiBand for a while, but after running in the horrible humidity this week, I think it might be a necessity! I love the "slow is the new fast" one (so me!), and I also like the pink polka dots on black or the bondi flower.
