How fast can you run a mile?

Here’s your chance to find out! Although I’m still pretty new to blogging, I want to take this opportunity to share my appreciation with my loyal readers! And give you an opportunity to run the Ambleside Mile – for free! This event is being put on by the same awesome folks who organized the West Van Run – which, incidentally, was the topic of my very first race report!

So let’s get down to business…

Final Thoughts

I’m really excited about this contest! It’s something I’ve never done before – still new to blogging, remember – but it makes me feel sort of ‘legit’. I expect to learn things about how a contest works, and hope to connect with more readers (and other bloggers?) as a result.

I really look forward to your comments! Please, stay a while – visit some of my other blog posts, comment elsewhere. If you like what you read, follow me!

Thank you!

A special shout-out to Kirill and the Ambleside Mile team for making this contest possible!

    I LOVE RUNNING BECAUSE IT HAS MOTIVATED ME TO DO MORE AND MORE RUNS AND SET PERSONAL GOALS. THE ATMOSPHERE IS ALWAYS AMAZING AND PUMPS ME UP TO FEEL LIKE I CAN DO ANYTHING I PUT MY MIND TO. THE MILE RACE WOULD BE ANOTHER CHALLENGE FOR ME TO COMPLETE.

  2. I wish I was in town that day, I would so enter this contest!!! I love running because it makes me feel strong (How’s that?). Plus I get to meet people (like you!) that I would probably never connect with otherwise! Good luck to all the entrants 🙂

    • Lucy, thanks for commenting even though you can’t attend. I agree with your comment – meeting people like you is one of the huge pluses of running! I’ll get you at the next contest!

  3. Sometimes I wonder why I run.

    Especially those days when it feels like my legs are lead weights attached to a jiggling belly. But then are the days when my head is totally connected to my body and breathing feels effortless. The faster I go, the easier it feels and all the stress melts away.

    Then there are the great people I have met over the years during training runs and races!

    Running has changed my life for the better and I look forward to many more years on the roads and trails.

  4. Bev – you are absolutely right! In retrospect, I support today (BMO) was a bit more of the former than the latter, but we did it! Proud of both of us!!

    Running has changed my life, too.

  5. I am pleased to announce that Jan Heuninck has won the random draw for the free entry to the Ambleside Mile! Jan – I’ll send you an email with the discount (i.e. free!) code. All other entrants will receive a 10% off code to sign up online! Thanks to everyone who entered!
