So over the past couple years I’ve had one focus: distance running. Even when I was sidelined, running long was all I could think about. However, when I started running, I was all about the 5k’s. I’ve ran many 5k’s in my time as a runner, but they kind of started to fall off my radar as I became more immersed in the world of distance running. I replaced 5k’s with 10k’s when it came to ‘short’ distance running, and as such haven’t ran a 5k since my brother and I ran one together two years ago.
When I was approached by Esprit de She about becoming an ambassador, I jumped at the chance. The race, which is held May 9th [a Thursday evening] is in City Centre, which is one of my all time favorite places to be. According to the lovely folks over behind the race, Esprit de She is “the nation’s premiere athletic event series for women.” They go on to say, “We are a community of active women connected by a shared desire to celebrate fitness and fun, sisterhood and strength.”
Really, who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?
First and foremost: all you lovelies in the Houston area should go sign up for the race. Let me make it really easy for you… do it here.
I’ll be attempting to run one of those puke-inducing 5k’s [which should be interesting considering I haven’t focused on running fast in a long time…]
Second: Esprit de She has offered to give away two shirts to two lucky winners!
I am a lover of t-shirts, so these are right up my alley. How cute are they?!
In love with the colors. Heathered gray = the best.
I’ll let the giveaway run for a week and will pick the winners next Friday.
To enter:
1. Leave a comment. Tell me how your last 5k went or why you don’t run 5ks. Or don’t. Just leave me a comment 
2. Blog about it and let me know!
That’s it! Nice and easy!
Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!!
Full disclosure: Esprit de She comped my entry to the race, but I probably would have ran the race anyway because it’s in City Centre, which I love, and because I’ve been looking around for a 5k. All opinions are all mine. I don’t do giveaways often, so when I do it’s something that I’m really pumped about!
