Running Discounts

I’ve run into a few discounts that I thought would be appreciated!

1. It’s never to early to start Christmas shopping.  If you’re looking for a holiday present for a runner, Running Warehouse is having a gift certificate special of 20% off all gift cards. A $25 gift card is now $20, a $50 gift card is now $40, $100 gift card for $80 and a $200 gift card for $160.  You get free 2 day shipping as well! I’ve used these guys before and very reliable in terms of shipping and no tax.  Head on over here to take advantage as this ends on 11/11/11

2. As much as I’m not a Rock n Roll Marathon/ Half Marathon fan, I’ll throw this out there.  On November 11, 2011, they’re doing a $20 off promotion on most of their races in honor of Veteran’s Day from 11 AM- 11 PM PST (2 PM EST- 1 AM EST on Nov. 12).  The discount should come up when you register between those times on Friday!

NYC Marathon in Pictures

The NYC Marathon has celebrities, people running for charities and people running with flags.  You also have the people who dress up in costumes- I saw Superman, the Greenman and a few others.  There’s also people who’ve overcome hardships to run- one lady with Multiple Sclerosis finished the marathon in 36 hrs, people running with Achilles International were running after having legs amputated or blind with leaders.

Then, there’s Christopher Niemann.  He’s a NYC Cartoonist.  He live drew his way through the NYC Marathon on Sunday.  Yes, he had a pad of paper, markers and a camera the entire time and drew his way through the NYC Marathon.  His drawings are hilarious and I can say how true most of them are.  I wish he had been running with me and drawing me as I ran through the marathon.  Head on over here and take a look.  I swear they’re good, accurate and funny!
