Happy Friday Runner Fiends... er I mean friends!!! What better way to start the weekend off right than by hosting my very first Giveaway sponsored by Dick's Sporting Goods!
*Cue the confetti!!! *Cue the marching band!!! *Cue dancing acrobats!!!
I guess this means I've officially hit the big time huh?!?!? For real, I'm so excited about this! (Shocking right? Me excited?) But seriously, I always see ya'll having giveaway's and have secretly had giveaway envy but had no clue how you even qualify to host one or even how to get free stuff for that matter! Somehow or another Andrew over at Dick's found his way over here and Giveaway sponsorship ensued! Time to spread the wealth!
Without further ado, here are the rules to qualify for a $100 Gift Card to Dick's Sporting Goods:

This contest will run for one week so you have until next Friday, 8/21/09 to think of something good!
Bonus entry if you answer "Buy Redhead Running *insert item here* " - J/K !!!
Maybe you need a smaller sports bra like me, maybe you need a deer whistle to scare off woodland creatures while out on your run, what about some binoculars to scope out the pony tails? The sky's the limit, its ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS PEOPLE!!! HOLLA!!!!!! Can't wait to read all your answers, I want some creative ones, high expectations here!!!
In other non-Giveaway but still exciting running related news:

We don't have Dick's in the Houston area although I guess I could order off the web.
I really don't need a smaller sports bra thank you very much, but I could use a pair of Spy Omega Performance Snow Goggles - not because I run in the snow, but because it would afford me the ability to "study the running form" of any number of your followers, who all apparently have a pretty darn high hotness level (including yourself, of course - gratuitous enough?). And they are on clearance - BONUS!
Woot woot! I like stuff. Really any running stuff. I may buy you a Gu if you are nice.
I just came across your blog yesterday and boy am I happy with my timing!
I, too, could use a new sports bra or two, but what I REALLY need is a new bike. $100 towards that would be awesome. Oh man, it's overwhelming! I'd also like new socks so I wouldn't have to do laundry as often. Aaaand a sleeping bag because I don't want to borrow my brother's anymore.
I'll definitely be posting this on my blog, and will be following Dick's on twitter.
I would buy new running shoes *or* I really need a pair of running capris for when the weather is in between shorts and full on tights. :-)
Great giveaway! I'm following them on Twitter, and I would go insane with some new running clothes. I would increase my nike tempo short count to include some new PINK ones, and probably get some COLD running gear b/c that crap is SPENDY and it's going to be cold in SoDak before I know it. :(
Hook a sister up!! We both know how bad I need a foam roller and running shoes...hello perfect opportunity!
Congrats on your first giveaway!!
This is not going to be very interesting, but I am really coveting a pair of Brooks Element shorts! I'm following Dick's on
Twitter.
I'm off to check out your latest article.
Have a great weekend!
Hey, this looks weirdly similar to an upcoming giveaway I'm doing?! ;)
If I win, I'd probably just use a portion of the $100 and the rest I'd leave for the blog giveaway sponsor. (Lets be clear here: This is a bribe.)
I'm always down for a new pair of running shoes, or some running clothes.
I'd buy weights and a yoga mat--might inspire me to actually work out from home!
Believe it or not I don't Twitter...I do not need another online obsession.. Awesome Giveaway!! I don't think I can enter without the Twitter so I will just say GOOD LUCK to others..
Hope the Asics treat your feets well..
thanks for the nod pretty girl..
Hugs!
Mel
Okay, nothing too creative but I want this for my dad and he'd use it for work shoes or something...he's always outside...or even for fun. He loves to golf so that's another idea it could go for!

I've been following this on twitter already, saying that I'd get some new running shorts and shoes. However. The fiance thinks that I should stock up on those little cans of mace - the cooler weather is starting to bring the homeless population back, meaning many more chances to mace someone.
Definately a new pair of running shoes, mine are so ratty!! Probably a new pair of running shorts too cause I've been running in jogging pants, and just isn't comfy enough for me!
I'm following on Twitter.

I would buy my boyfriend a new pair of Merrell shoes. The pair he currently owns are ready for the trash, but he refuses to give them up. Maybe a new pair will win him over and I can finally toss the old stinky ones. :P
clogzilla(at)yahoo(dot)com
I'd buy new running shoes and some more shorts and such with the remainder.
I'd buy a foam roller and maybe some new workout gear. Or camping gear. Or or or...
Oooo nice! I'd love to buy new yoga clothes and an exercise ball!!
If I won the gift card I would probably use it to buy winter running stuff. I know that my boyfriend would really love this because he wants to buy stuff at Dick's for when he goes deer hunting in November!
If I list all the things I need, the list could go on and on...
I think the first thing I would buy would be some new running shorts. Mine are in pretty scary shape and the strange looks I am getting from other people are a little disconcerting. Nothing too fancy, but new anything would be great.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway and I am following Dicks as RunnerBillc.
With the rainy season looming I would love a new sporty jacket for everyday wear or for running. I love pinks and greens.
$100 could go far for me :)
I will update my NUUN post and link back..
I follow @dickssportcmo with my twitter account @theskinnyplate
If I have $100 Dicks Sports gift card, I would buy tons of workout clothes with it. Looking good in workout clothes always motivates me to get my workouts in.
I would get a winter jacket. You can never be too ready for the single digit winter weather of Pittsburgh.
Okay Dick's e-mailed me with teh same offer, and I wasn't sure if it was legit. I was nervous it'd turn out to be bogus, and I'd have to give someone $100 because I felt bad. :o) Happy to know it's legit.
i am sneaking writing this comment at work, cause its such a great prize! I would for sure get new running shoes, because both of the ones I currently run in hurt my toes.
Followed on twitter under twitter name wonderflmom!!!
I'd buy new sports bras, socks and hopefully a new pair of kicks!!!
I'm posting on my blog about your giveaway!!!
Check me out.... busyrunningmama.blogspot.com
Anything Under Armour for the cool MN weather coming up! Awesome giveaway!
Since it's impossible to buy all of Dick's with $100, that's completely out of the question [even though I would loveee to have everything in that store]. At the moment, Im in sore need of a new pair of trainers. I suppose I can settle with that. :)
Wow, hope the new kicks work out on the long run!
As part of the SITS SHARE fest sat. I say good glorious morning to you!
Sounds like an awesome giveaway!Thanks for sharing that....
Nice to meet you...and your blog is unique, I like it a lot :)
stopping by from SITs this morning.
would follow on twitter if i could...but alas, i don't have a twitter account!
but, i love dicks and would most likely buy running gear, and maybe a few hunting things for my hubby...
:)
Congrats on the giveaway!! You are big time now!! Happy SITS Sat Sharefest!!
ok first can I say I love your blog style! I haven't seen this one before it's super cute!
let's see at Dicks I would love to get a Bosu ball!!
oooh what a fabulous giveaway!! Hope you're having a great weekend!
I'm following Dick's on Twitter! I would prob get the 'New Balance 769 Pink Ribbon Stability Running Shoe' or a bunch of clothes! :) I don't own any running shorts and they seem to look nice!
I could always use more sports bras!
I follow them on twitter as well (duh i'm a tweetaholic) BUT I would love some new freakin shoes so my toes doesn't need to get amputated. wha wha.
How'd your long run go today? Mine was great and I couldn't be happier. I've already blogged about it, of course! And I tried a new energy gel, that even Running Buddy Selena Liked! SO come visit and read all about it. And I hope you're having a lovely weekend!
Awesome giveaway! So cool :)
I would buy Nike Tempo shorts because they are my favorite running shorts ever because they don't ride up.
I'd also buy another white Under Armor hat so I could have one to wear when I wash the other.
Thanks!!
Oh, and I'm following Dick's Sporting Goods on Twitter, too.
I would buy a new pair of running shoes!
I linked back here: http://www.feedmeimcranky.com/?p=2023

Very cool giveaway. I would buy Matt a new pair of running shoes. He has had the same pair forever and it is time!
i need new running shoes bad
i would buy anything and everything i need for running
I would buy bike shorts - they make the ride so much more comfortable, but they are SO pricey!
i would probably get a couple swim vests for my girls, weight gloves for the hubby and maybe some running gear tops/bras.
Awesome giveaway by the way

I would definitely buy some new nike tempo shorts and sports bras. All of my clothes are beaten up and stained and I need some new motivation. Great giveaway!
I'd get some lightweight running shorts so I can get back into running when I go back to school in NC. It's so hot there! Thanks for the giveaway!

I would buy running socks. I am starting my 10K training & good socks are needed in this Mississippi heat & humidity!
i would totally buy some new running shorts or some hoodies for when the weather changes, thanks for the great giveaway!
i would totally buy running shoes or workout clothes.
i actually don't own any workout clothes except for PE shorts from middle and high school ><;
I would purchase running outfits that actually match. It would be nice to have dumbells too!
I would probably buy some running shoes, I always need new ones!
Following Dicks!
I would use it for and towards a fancy-schmancy running watch. :) OR shoes. Thanks!!
Mary
I am following Dicks - i heart that store!
I would most certainly use the $100 to help purchase a garmin!! I have been dying to purchase one for months but the funds have not been available.
I just found your blog and I am excited to get to "know" you :) I will link back to you!
I would buy some workout clothes and a kettlebell!
I'm sorry to say that I do have twitter. I followed under TallGuySurfing. Not really sure how the whole twitter thing works, but I think I did it right.
TallGuySurfing would buy bat repellent, a flux capacitor, some Shot Bloks and for you J-Mo I'll buy you something Pink! Maybe a flamingo! :-)
I would buy running shoes!!!
running gear would be grand!
I would buy a foam roller and some new sports bras. I've been wanting to do more running outside shirtless, but most of my old s/bs are not really acceptable for public ;)
Just found your blog through random clicks, excited to read more! I've been having lots of knee problems, so I'd like to buy some new running shoes or something that'll help me out!
WE have a DICK'S here in Tucson and could very easily spend that $100. I have to wear two sports bras when I run so I think that I would buy a few new ones!=)
I need some running clothes my cotton shirts are killing me.
Posted your contest on my Blog today...

@erica_h
I'd love to get a new sports bra. Thanks!
I would love some new running shorts and sports bras!
I also am following Dick's on Twitter!
I need a new sports bra and some shorts! Also, it is about time to be thinking of my next pair of running shoes.
I would probably buy some more comfortable things for my bike. I love riding my bike but I can't handle the long distances with my current gear. It needs to be spruced up!
i'd get another pear of sneaks, cause i always need 'em and money doesn't grow on trees :)
Hmmmm $100. Wow. I would get a cute running outfit - pink! Something that makes me feel strong, fast and cute.
And Body Glide. Can you ever have enough? I think not.
I'd get me some new running shoes since mine are dying... quickly :)
I'm linkin back!
I think the question is "What wouldnt I buy with this card?" running skirts, shoes, bras, gels...omg i need this sooo bad!
following dicks on twitter!

Lo
I would buy some new running gear to motivate me to further get into running. Shorts or maybe REAL running shoes. I really love running so far, I'm a newbie, but I'm lacking in good running gear. Some real running gear would definitely get me more motivated!
I would stock up on running clothes - finally find some good shorts and a new sports bra!
This is the second person i now have on twitter. I would get a new pair of running shoes since the USMC marathon is quickly coming up!!! I would also pick up some great Gu for Morgan.
I would get a nice Under Armour sports bra (can't justify spending $50 of my own moolah on these tiny little tatties, but free money? Hells yeah) and probably some soccer gear for my Shortie2, who is playing Cubbie soccer this fall and needs tinly little 3-year-old sized shin guards and shoes! It's fun to buy sports gear in miniature...
I would buy some more workout shirts, free weights, and yoga pants!!!
Oh my gosh I would love to win this! I would get new running shorts and that super cute pink fleece northface jacket they have on their site! :)
I'd give the $100 to my hubby to buy some real running shoes ... I've been trying to convince him to start running with me but he hasn't done so yet. Maybe this would convince him to do it!
I'd get some new running tanks, a heavier set of hand weights, and probably new running shoes - more than $100, but it would be my style to spend 2X as much as the actual giveaway.
I would get some new shoes and exercise dvds!
shoes? Watch? there's SO much!
Ooooh, I would love this. I pretty much get all my workout gear from Dick's and with $100 dollars I would get more! Ha, I love their stuff : )
i would buy a polar foot pod!
Awesome giveaway! I could definitely use some cross trainers so that I stop wearing my running shoes to jump around in Step Class!
Oh I would love so badly to get this, because my husband needs front and rear lights for his bike and I really could use a smaller sports bra (losing weight is good, but too big of bras is not good :().
My marathon runnin' sis is helping me shed some baby weight - she chases me. I run. I would love to have that cash to buy some fancy new shoes! Don't new shoes make you run faster???
I'm such a giver. I'd buy only things for you:)
Actually, I'd get things my kids need for school (jackets, shoes, etc). Oh, that would come in so handy.
I'd buy new workout clothes for sure! Awesome contest!
Wow, thanks for the giveaway!
Oh my gosh, that's so exciting! Your first giveway--yay! Um, actually, I DO need some new sports bras. Since I have the same size boobs I had back in the 7th grade, yep, I still have the same bras. Seriously. They can't be doing any good anymore can they???
