AND WOW! Did a LOT of you fellow bloggers either run a half marathon or full marathon this past weekend! Too many to list here, so CONGRATS! on whether it be your first at that distance or your third.
So in celebration of those uber distances, I am giving away a copy of Bart Yasso's book, "My Life on The Run." Surely you have heard of Yasso 800's? The Track method of predetermining a possible Marathon time? THIS is your guy who thought up the method.
Other than Yasso 800's, this guy has run everywhere in the world. If only I could have half of his running resume one day. A great read and gives you inspiration to run in other parts of the world.
I won this book from a giveaway done by Aneta @ Confessions of a Rambunctious Runner. Aneta JUST completed her first marathon this past weekend @ the Toronto Marathon. Congrats Aneta! Head on over to her blog and give her some props on this monumental achievement!

ReplyDeleteFav runner. HMMMM I don't really have, um, favorites. I'm going to lame out and lump people into a group. I've found a lot of awesome blogs recently of people who are new to running and are running their first marathons.. those people. Those types of people. The ones that toe the line for the first time and lay it all out there! :D
I follow. Fav marathoner - Khalid Khannouchi - He used to live here in Hattiesburg, MS. He has helped out with the running club in a number of ways over the years. A real stand up guy!
ReplyDelete2 time world record holder! First person to break 2:06! Nice guy!
marathon season is OVER!!!!
ReplyDeleteit is now wine and beer season!
I loved this book. Have it. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and this book would be terrific for those days when you are just not sure you want to keep running because of the tips and advice.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite marathoner hasn't done one yet. My wife is my favorite marathoner and her first will be this December here in Dallas.
Thanks for putting the contest up.
HEY I follow you, I am following you all the way to IMLP! :)
ReplyDeleteFavorite marathoner? EASY. Joan Benoit Samuelson - I was a little girl in 4th grade when she won the gold medal in the Olympics at the first ever Oly marathon (women). I remember her holding the flag and running her victory lap - and she was from MAINE!! I wanted to be just like her.
ReplyDeleteI have to go with the others...Joan Benoit Samuelson.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and I loved Meb last year at the NYC marathon!!! I only have done Lake Placid so thats my FAV so far!!
