Okay, I just have to say I'm so excited I'm gonna pee my pants! Really. But before I get to the Giveaway (yeah!), I wanted to say thank YOU to everyone who read and gave a comment on my post at Athleta Chi blog. It was so nice to read your words of encouragement, AND I believe it helped me attain an even BETTER giveaway to have here.Woo-hoo!
Now on to the good stuff...My First official giveaway is for Athleta's fantastic Hana Run Short AND Sleeveless Twist Top you see above. Yes, both the short and the top, as these are my two most favorite things to run in for Spring, Summer and racing events. And what better way to celebrate the upcoming Daylight Savings Time than with this outfit.
A little about each item (straight from their description):
The Hana Run Short
Run free in this nearly weightless short. The latest in our run short lineup is made from Swiftek™, our superlightweight, wicking, and quick-drying fabric. A gathered elastic waistband and external drawstring help you customize your fit; lightweight crepe brief means you don't have to bother with an additional layer; and internal pocket stashes money and keys. Contrast binding and cool screen print detail at left hem. Inseam: 3".
The Sleeveless Twist Top:
The last few miles of a long training run can get brutal, so there's simply no excuse for giving yourself anything but supreme comfort in your gear. This seamless fitted top looks and feels super yummy with a sleeveless design, knit-in texture, and a tendril vine print up the sides. Meryl® SkinlifE fabric is breathable, wicking, and quick-drying. Body length in size medium: 25".
Here's my own two cents on the products. The shorts are are super light weight, extremely comfortable, and make you look HAWT. The top is a seamless feeling that feels amazing on and to workout in. What more could you want for your upcoming Spring and Summer runs and races?
Here's Up To Three Ways to Enter:
1. Leave a comment here telling me which colors you want for the Hana Run Short, and the Sleeveless Twist Top (you're not committed to them, just wanna know;-)

I also want to give a BIG shout out to my First 50 Followers that are currently listed. You get a bonus entry b/c like I've been sayin', YOU are the reason why this blog works, and YOU have given me the inspiration to go for this giveaway. So, leave a comment saying you're one of the first 50...
