As of this morning, registration is still open for the Boston marathon. Yesterday the BQ-10 group got their chance to register and tomorrow the BQ-5 group can register. Then, as rumor has it, registration will close. I would be completely lying if I said I wasn’t jealous and envious (and a lot of I-may-want-to-steal-your-entry) of all the speedy bloggers that are already registered.
Moving on to something upbeat and fun: my first giveaway! A few weeks ago Kara, Philly native and creator of ChickBands, offered to send me a ChickBand to test out. ChickBands are running headbands backed with velvet so they won’t slip during a run. They also soak up all the nasty sweat. The verdict? Me like.
PRE-RUN
POST-RUN
As you can see, the ChickBand did not move an inch. It was also comfortable (i.e., did not give me a headache). The fact that it didn’t give me a headache is impressive since I have a rather large noggin and big hair.
The ChickBand that Kara sent me sells for $8.00. A very reasonable price considering a thick SweatyBand sells for $18.00. Why pay more for the same headband?
Kara graciously offered to give away 3 ChickBands to lucky RTLR readers!

I would enter this contest if I didn’t have a “flat heat”. I was told that was the type of head I had. Every time I wear those things, they fall off in 5-minutes or less. I try to rock them because I think they look cute, but what doesn’t look cute — when they fall off and i have headband hair. Yeah, I will pass for society.
