Speaking of Peanut Butter
I am crazy about peanut butter. There seems to be a serious peanut butter movement going on in the Bloggiverse lately. All of this talk of peanut butter is making me feel the need to run out and buy every variety of peanut butter that I can find. Or, maybe not. Maybe I'll just enter The Food Snob's Contest.
I am seriously dying at the thought of winning Jungle banana, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and Raspberry White Chocolate PEANUT BUTTER!
So, please don't enter this contest. Because I want to win. And if you enter, you'll steal my winning entry.

Seriously...ANOTHER Giveaway??
I just have to say that Lucky Tastebuds is giving things away left and right. Now it's a $20 gift certificate to Mix My Granola.com. And I think that's fantastic.
You will too.
I promise.
You will too.

More Bloggie Giveaways!
I'm not very good at being sick. Well into the throes of Consumption, I'm sure that I would deny the fact that I was inadvertently hacking up my left lung. Sickness is not something that I fall prey to. I generally just calmly plow through life, sickness free. And, if I do happen to end up sick, I never admit it. If I don't admit it, then it never was. Right?
Yes, well.
This is a sickness I can't deny. My boss sent me home from work yesterday because I was clearly going downhill fast. When I arrived home, My Gazelle told me that I was "hot like fire". I guess that's a bad thing in this case. I basically got in bed, and haven't got out for more than 5 minutes since then.
In the spirit of this inexplicable debilitating sickness that has caused me to call into work today for the first time in 2 years, I want to share some cool giveaways with you!
Foods That Fit is giving away a very impressive spread of goodies. That damn Barney Butter has popped up again...and I'm still dying to try it!
Missy Maintains is giving away a selection of Erin's Bakers yummies!
Runner's Lounge is giving away socks. I love socks.
And that is all for now.
I'm going to go die now.
Yes, well.

SPIbelt Winner
The day has finally arrived!
I say "SPIbelt" winner (not iFitness winner) because I'm sorry people...the iFitness belt arrived sooner, and I used it. My bad. I just couldn't wait. So, the winner will receive a brand spanking new SPIbelt!
Don't forget to give me a short report back and let me know how you feel about it.
If you don't, I'll cry. And probably stay up late at night wondering if you loved your SPIbelt or hated it.
For everyone that didn't win, I'm sorry. I really am. I wish I could buy all of you a SPIBelt. Unfortunately, I just can't. What I can do, however, is give you a coupon code to save 10% on your SPIbelt order! The lovely Molly has granted me permission to publish the SPIBelt coupon code for all of my fabulous blog readers to enjoy! All you have to do is go to the SPIbelt website, throw one of the little cuties in your cart, and just plug in the magical coupon code of 8022 to receive your discount.
And now, for the winner!
There were 11 comments on the blog post, but one was a duplicate, and one was spam (stop it, spammer!). So, the winner is being chosen from 9 entries. And, if ya ask me, those are some pretty sweet odds!
Oh...you didn't ask me?
Sorry.
Yay #1 Runtofinish wins! So, Amanda, email me your mailing address to joggerslife@gmail.com, and I'll get the goods out to you ASAP! Congrats!

Giveaway! SPIBelt =or= iFitness Belt
*************CONTEST IS CLOSED, WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN TODAY, MARCH 2, 2009!!***********
As I was walking through the halls of the Smithsonian Portrait Museum last Saturday, during the first leg of my Girl Power! trip to DC, I had a brilliant idea.
"Self?"
"Yes Jogger?"
"I have a brilliant idea!"
"Really...please, do tell."
"I think that I should ride the Metro into DC on the weekends and RUN!"
"WOW! That IS a brilliant idea!"
I mulled this idea around in my head for the day, and became giddy at the thought of running around the reflecting pool and the capital...with the white house in the distance. It all seemed very surreal, and the perfect backdrop for the runner in me to emerge.
Rose-colored glasses folks...
Rose-colored glasses.
As soon as I pulled my head out of the clouds, I started thinking realistically. I'll be all smelly on the Metro ride home...what will I do about that?! Where am I gonna stick my sheeeet (car key, etc...) while I'm running? I pondered. Two words immediately entered my brain, and then I wanted to gouge my brains out.
FANNY. PACK.
Yes, I said it. But then I immediately erased those words from my brain because I would rather pull out each one of my toenails individually than wear a fanny pack. My Mom wears a fanny pack on vacation. Nuff said.
So, with horrific fanny-pack-visions dancing in my head, I started trolling the internet for a solution. I came across some options, and then basically just gave up. It felt like too much work. It wasn't fun anymore. I was over it.
Then, coincidentally, the next day on Twitter, my girlie Beth from AvenueZ mentioned that she loved her SPIBelt. In a totally unrelated, unsolicited conversation. I wasn't even talking about my extreme hatred for fanny packs and how much I needed an alternative. It was almost as if she read my mind. It was rather freaky actually. So, I felt like it was a sign from the running Gods that I needed to buy a SPIBelt. I went on their website and checked out the goods. It seemed like exactly what I needed. And Beth loves hers, so why wouldn't I love mine?!
I proceeded to choose a black SPIBelt with a teal zipper, threw that baby in my cart, and then did the next logical thing. Opened a new tab, and typed "SPIBelt coupon" into the Google search bar. I'm just sayin. Coupons are important business in Joggerville, ya know? So, Google brought up like 5 trillion results, as it always does, but none were cut and dry coupons. Then...like a needle in a haystack, I found Molly. Molly is a fellow blogger, and she just happened to have become affiliated with SPIBelt, and was offering her blog readers a 10% off coupon, which could be obtained by emailing her. I was so excited! Then I saw the date on the blog post: September 16, 2008. Pffftttt...I figured I was SOL, and just moved on.
Then, I grew some nads and emailed Molly.
In the meantime, I also saw someone else on Twitter (@maddyhubba I think?) mention that they like the iFitness Belt. It appears as though the iFitness belt might be SPIBelt's stiffest competition. So, I rummaged around on the iFitness Belt website and also emailed them to see if they had any current promotions.
Thinking that neither person (people) would get back to me. Ever.
And, since I'm almost never right about anything, both emailed me back.
In addition, Molly from SPIBelt is awesome. We have emailed back and forth several times, and she is a total sweetheart, and has asked me to guest blog on her site. I have no idear what I'm supposed to talk about, but I suppose that is only a minor detail. To worry about at a later date.
Due to the fact that Molly is my new internet BFF (she just doesn't know yet), I am now wishing that iFitness didn't email me back with such a gracious discount. Because now, my friend, I have to buy both. Yes, I said BOTH. B.O.T.H. Because that is just how I roll, and I cannot shun a nice gesture by anyone. Not even faceless email addresses that offer me discounts on not-fanny-packs.
I knew I had to buy both.
I just didn't know what to DO with both.
So, this is where YOU come in. I will review one of these products, and YOU, lucky winner, will review the other! Pretty please, don't enter if you don't want to review, because...well...that is just part of the terms and conditions of this here giveaway! And anyway, it would just make me sad if you won something but didn't let me know how you felt about it. Remember...I'm that annoying person who gives gifts just so I can watch everyone unwrap (and love) them. Don't steal my moment of joy. Please.
It doesn't have to be a fancy review. It can be as short as a few sentences. Just so I know what your general impression of it was, and so that I can share the opinion with others. I like to share opinions. It's fun.
So, don't let the "review" requirement scare you from entering. The "review" part is easy. It's the "trying out" that might be hard!
To enter this really cool, wicked awesome contest, just comment this post and tell me about the oldest clothing item residing in your closet. Because I'm nosy.

Bondi Band Giveaway...Did You Win??
I have been sporting my Bondi Band(s) at the gym for a few workouts, and I love them! They keep my short hair out of my face, and I can either use them by themselves to keep my hair away, or I have also clipped up 1/2 of my hair and left 1/2 down. This creates a sort of "Samurai" effect that My Gazelle loves to pick on me about. I ignore him. He's just jealous because I didn't give him a Bondi-Band.
I was happy to see a few more entries than there were in my SkirtSports contest, and hopefully next week's contest will have even more!
Here are the entries:
And, the winners are:
#8: Carolyn G
#4: Kelly Ringle
#13: Sherri Moore
#11: kch
Yay!
Winners, please email your mailing address to me at joggerslife@gmail.com so that I can send out your prize! I will randomly select which Bondi Band to send to each person...but they're all cute, so don't worry.
Congratulations, and stay tuned for the next giveaway! I'm not sure what it'll be yet, but it's going to be fabulous as always.

Bondi Band is Awesome...Make No Mistake.
I ordered 2 super cool Bondi Bands for myself last week, and decided to order 2 extras so that I can give them away to you, my loyal readers. It was fun to say that. Even if there are only 20 of you. I still love you, and you are loyal. And loved.
On my Bondi Band order, I added this completely passive, non-expectant, strictly informational note in the 'comments' field...
"I'll be giving away 2 of these Bondi Bands on my blog! Check it out... www.joggerslife.com"
I mean, so basically, I just wanted them to check out the contest and read my blog. I like when cool new people check out my blog. Remember the time when DJ Steve dropped by? So, that was like the highlight of my year by the way...and I just wanted to remind you that he stopped by. It made me feel cool. That doesn't happen very often.
So, I wanted some Bondi Band peeps to come on over to JoggersLife. That's all. Really. I promise. But, have I ever mentioned to you how much I love free sheeet? Well I really love free sheeet even more now because the lovely, wonderful, beautiful, totally wicked awesome people at Bondi Band just sent me 2 more Bondi Bands....FER FUHREEEEE!!!! Yippie! Hooray!
As I have already stated, I am a sharing, caring kind of gal. So, I shall give away FOUR (4) rather than TWO (2) Bondi Bands. Because I love you. So, if you haven't entered yet, I won't judge you. Just do it. HERE. NOW.

Bondi Band Giveaway ****CLOSED! No Entries after 8AM EST 2/5/09****
UPDATE: 2/5/09 8AM EST: This giveaway is closed, peeps! I'll be drawing the winners this morning!! Stay tuned!
******
I am so excited about Bondi Bands, that in addition to ordering two for myself, I'm going give two away to my lovely blog readers. It's a Bondi Band celebration. I'm all about sharing the wealth. Jogger's Life is a purely socialist society. Sorry...no capitalism allowed. If I got it, then you're gettin it. Because I love you.
All you have to do is comment this post and let me know why you want a Bondi Band.
I'll tell you why I wanted a Bondi Band: My hair is annoying. The end.
I kid, I kid.
In all seriousness, my hair is short now, and I can't pull it all back or I get this really silly looking stub of a ponytail (a ponystub?) on the back of my head. It just looks ridiculous. Then the pony holder slips out of my hair and onto the treadmill. I become distracted, lose my footing, bash my head on the treadmill display, slide down the belt, off the back of the treadmill and land in a heap on the disgusting gym floor. Ok not really. But I'm just sayin...the last thing I need to be worrying about when I'm snotting, hacking, and gasping for air while running is whether my hair is going to stay out of my sweaty face.
So...someone mentioned Bondi Band to me, I checked out their website, and it seemed like the ideal solution. They said all of the right words. Their slogan is "where fashion meets function." Aaah...music to my ears.
I haven't tried out my Bondi Band yet, so I can make no guaranties about their effectiveness, but as soon as I receive them I shall try and see. In the meantime, I want you guys to win them now so that I can promptly send them out to you as soon as I receive them from Bondi Band.
So...comment away. Tell me why you need one, and I'll use the random number generator to pick two lucky winners next week!
Good luck!
Lastly, I have been trying to upload my coupon video to Youtube for the past 24 hours. I don't know why its not working, but I do know that it's irritating me. Now that I finally have made the vid, Youtube is taking 24 hours to upload it. I'm going to keep trying, so stay tuned!

And the SkirtSports Weiner is...
This giveaway was great fun. Not only because I loved reading your stories of tripping (there were a couple of these), diarrhea, upchucking, running parrots (?), and bloody appendages; but because I truly, honestly, wholeheartedly LOVE giving cool things away. I am "that" person who excitedly waits for everyone to open each individual gift at Christmas. Just so I can see the expression on a person's face when they receive something that they love. Or hate. Sometimes that's fulfilling as well. But mostly I love to give people things that they love.
And so, I give you a $25 gift certificate to SkirtSports.
Here are all of the entrants:
And the wiener is...
Beth from Avenue Z, who runs with cupcakes! Read this, it's funny.
I was training for my 1st marathon and running 20 miles for the first time in my life. It was my worst run ever. Hot. Slow. Alone. Hot. An old, *lame* man limped slowly past me. He was really old. I started singing the longest songs I knew trying to get through each mile: American Pie, Paradise by the Dashboard Lights.... One mile at a time.
Our team was having a big picnic at the end of this run. The parking lot was some distance away. I was stumbling past my car and thought, "Like hell am I going to jog all the way back here for the cupcakes." I stopped by the car to grab the big box of cupcakes I brought to the picnic.
So I'm stumbling. Sweating. Dehydrated. Barely putting one foot in front of the next. And I'm carrying this giant box of cupcakes.
"Look at that lady jogging with the big box," a friend said. "Oh my God. That's Beth!"
My mentor ran out to take the box. As they iced down my knees and rushed water to me, the cupcakes disappeared. The picnic was almost over because I was almost the last to come in. Thank goodness I didn't bring appetizers!
Mmmmm...cupcakes. I love cupcakes!
Congratulations, Beth (or @avenueZ as some know her). Just provide me your email address, and I'll get your prize over to you in a jiffy. Please do report back about your purchase. I'd love to know if you become a SkirtSports convert!
And to everyone who didn't win, sorry. I hate to disappoint almost as much as I love to give. There will be others. You'll win next time. Well, I can't promise that. But stay tuned, there is much love in the air here at JL. And with love comes presents.
And so, I give you a $25 gift certificate to SkirtSports.

Our team was having a big picnic at the end of this run. The parking lot was some distance away. I was stumbling past my car and thought, "Like hell am I going to jog all the way back here for the cupcakes." I stopped by the car to grab the big box of cupcakes I brought to the picnic.
So I'm stumbling. Sweating. Dehydrated. Barely putting one foot in front of the next. And I'm carrying this giant box of cupcakes.
"Look at that lady jogging with the big box," a friend said. "Oh my God. That's Beth!"
My mentor ran out to take the box. As they iced down my knees and rushed water to me, the cupcakes disappeared. The picnic was almost over because I was almost the last to come in. Thank goodness I didn't bring appetizers!
Mmmmm...cupcakes. I love cupcakes!
Congratulations, Beth (or @avenueZ as some know her). Just provide me your email address, and I'll get your prize over to you in a jiffy. Please do report back about your purchase. I'd love to know if you become a SkirtSports convert!
And to everyone who didn't win, sorry. I hate to disappoint almost as much as I love to give. There will be others. You'll win next time. Well, I can't promise that. But stay tuned, there is much love in the air here at JL. And with love comes presents.

SkirtSports Giveaway: Enter NOW!
Alright kids.
If you've stuck by my craziness for the past few months (or gone back to read my earlier posts because you love me that much), you will know that I love SkirtSports.
When it comes to workout clothes, here are my priorities:
1) Comfort
2) Cuteness
2) Functionality
3) Durability
4) Cuteness
5) Did I mention cuteness?
I confess. I like cute workout clothes.
And. And...and I like it when my workout clothes match my running shoes.
Was that out loud?
Moving along.
I'm not sure how I even found out about SkirtSports, but it was a few years ago. I was mildly hesitant at first about what others would think of my running in a skirt. I didn't care enough to let it impede my purchase though. Let's face it. Cute is cute.
I recall buying my first black GymGirl. Actually, I bought one for me, and one for My Sista. When I told My Sista what I had done, she chuckled and said "you don't run in a skirt! She then told me that I was "such a girl", and blew me off. Months later, she very nonchalantly told me that she had tried (and was quite pleased with) her GymGirl.
She hasn't looked back, and neither have I. We love the things.
So, I don't really care if you run in skirts right now. I also don't care if it's freezing arse cold where you live, because SkirtSports has found a solution for that. And, I'm giving away a $25 gift certificate from SkirtSports RIGHT NOW.
You have no choice but to love SkirtSports at this point.
All you have to do to enter the contest is tell me your funniest running story.
Did you pee on yourself during a race? Did you trip and fall over Jacques who was running in front of you? Did you get smoked by a blonde 11 year old in pigtails at your last 5K (or does that only happen to me)?
I'll stop allowing entries whenever I feel like it. It all depends on how many of you lurkers enter the contest. I know you're there. Google Analytics tells me you are. Stop pretending. As soon as I have a descent number of entrants (I'm hoping for 50), I'll be drawing one winner using the nifty online random number generator.
Good luck!
