PinkDrive Winner

Thank you to all my generous friends and family for donating to my PinkDrive Race4Charity.

I have exceeded my R5000 target and raised R5500 and it couldn't have happened without your kindness and I am truly grateful and PinkDrive thank you too.

 

As promised at the beginning of my campaign, I am doing a random draw of all the people who contributed to win a prize from the PinkDrive shop. I entered all the names of the people who contributed (21 in total) in the order that the funds were received by PinkDriveinto a random list generator and then I got Dear Zoe to press the RANDOMIZE button.




The winner is Karen Henry! Well done Karen!! Thank you for your donation, I will be mailing you your gift soon - ish.


Thanks again to all that who contributed. I will be lining up for Comrades 2012 on June 3rd and running with all of you in my heart!

 

March Review

In the month of March

My Goals for March (taken from this post): Run 265km (10% increase)and run a marathon in under 5 hours (and thereby qualify for The Comrades Marathon)

Both were achieved

I ran 300 kilometers, including 125km barefoot and spent 34:32:28 hours on the road,

I ran 2 races, including my qualifying marathon and got 2 medals &2 t-shirts.

I did 4 pilates classes at the gym and no swimming.

Year To Date: 775 kilometers run

Goal for April: Run 300km, tackle my first Ultra and be excited about the achievement and confident about The Comrades, raise R5000 for The Starfish Foundation.

Remember that my Giveaway ends on Monday – There are only 5 entries so far so post your comment quickly, you stand a good chance of winning.

Bondi Bands are Great

Thanks to Angie over at BarefootAngieBee, who had a headband giveaway last year, I am now the proud owner of 3 Bondi Bands and 2 other head bands.

This is what I won ...

This is my favorite one - obviously because it says I love barefoot running.

(I think my self portraits are getting better, altho' the boney bits around my neck don't look good they are because I am stretching my arm out to get my pic and because I want to photograph the saying on the band.)

I haven't run in any of them yet but will be tomorrow morning and will let you know how well they work.

Tidbit Tuesday
