So because I’m SO proud of my little runner posse, it’s now time to dole out the prizes! I mean, of COURSE the prizes of meeting your running goals, putting in the long runs so you can fat kid it up the rset of the day, and be that much closer to the allure that is a PR, those trump everything…but I still think you guys deserve a little more what’s-what.
PRIZES!!!
Well, because our milesmaniac Mr. Staples was clocking in pretty much 100+ miles per week every week, I don’t think anyone could argue I shouldn’t give him top pick of the first prize. So my dear running fiend, drop me an email with your choice…and I won’t judge if you do, in fact, go with the Handful bra. 😉
The rest of the prizes were radnomly generated from one of those nifty little gadgets and pulled off of the numbers on the roster. Below are the order in which the winners were picked and from there each runners gets their pick of prizes. A reminder on the prizes:
* 3 Road ID’s
* 1 Clean Waterbottle
* 2 Handful Bras
* 1 Oiselle 50/50 Tee
* 1 BIC Band goodie bag
And onto the rest of the winners:
1) Chelsea @ Chelsea Wanders
2) Janneza
3) Vanessa @ Gourmet Runner
4) Steph @ She Runs On
5) Amy @ Raz Ma Taz
6) Amy @ Thoroughly Nourished Life
7) Runner For Life
BOOM! All you awesome peeps email me and I’ll get you taken care of.
1) What was a highlight for you from the September Miles Madness Competition?
2) What is a goal that achieved during last month, and how are you going to build on that this month? If you didn’t hit your goal what can you do this month to hit it?
3) Did you have fun with this type of thing? Would you like to see something like this again? Are there any suggestions or ideas you’d like to share on going forward?
Awesome job, everyone! I think this competition was a great idea, so you should definitely do something similar again in the future. My goal was to just steadily increase the mileage and limit my rest days, so I was happy overall. I’ve been feeling good and ready to start racing!
Cait, I was more than happy to take part in this, our team winning was the only prize I had in mind. So please feel free to give my prize to someone you feel is very deserving! 🙂
thanks so much for taking part and i’m glad u had fun! now u have to let us know when u’re busting out the racers!!
Ps- look at u, miles maniac AND selflessy pushing off a prize! very kind of you!
Yahoo!!! Congrats to fellow Team Cait Runners! It’s amazing to see what people can do when they pull together for the same cause 🙂 Though I joined late I think it was fun (hence why I wanted joined). I would certainly participate in any future actives like this.
hey, i’m SO happy u joined up and we embraced all newcomers!! it was a lot of fun and i hope we can wrangle u in for our next one. 🙂
Woop! Congrats on the win to everyone in Team Cait!
woop…check out the double winner vanessa getting her prize on! 😉
This is so exciting! Yay!!!
This was a great idea. It was a treat at the end of the week to proudly type in my miles on our google spreadsheet 🙂 I would DEFINITELY do something like this again. It was a blast!
My goal in September was to be consistent and build up miles for my marathon training. And to keep running even though I did a lot of traveling. I’m going to keep on truckin’ in October because my marathon is the second weekend of November! Woohoo!!
Hell yeah to Team Cait! I am so excited that we won 😀
Definitely loved this comp (twitter spam much ;-)) and I’d love to see more of it.
My goal was that 32km from a couple of weeks ago – and this month’s goal… Yup. Next week.

Congratulations to everyone in Team Cait, and Team Ashley too!
We did it everyone! Thanks to Ashley and Cait for convening such a wonderful challenge. I look forward to the next one!
Oh, I have never won anything before so I am super excited! Thank you random number generator 🙂
My goal was to run 4-5 times every week of the challenge and I certainly met that, so I am a happy chickpea 🙂 I also made a great new Aussie blogger Twitter friend in Kate from ‘Run with Kate’ – an unexpected delight 🙂
My next goal? Half marathon training for January!! Can’t wait 🙂
Yay!!! Congrats to everyone!! It’s been so exciting to see everyones miles and be apart of a super cool team! Go team Ashley too! Everyone who ran is awesome 🙂
My goal was to increase my miles everyone week. Mission accomplished! 🙂
Cait thanks so much for hosting! I loved it! I think my favorite part was how much this pushed me to complete my long runs! As I really wanted to push past my post injury fear 🙂 I definitely want living a ton of miles but I loved being a party of your team 🙂 thanks
I had no doubts we would win! This was a great challenge and I would definitely join again. There were nights when I didn’t want to run, but I wanted to add as many miles for our team as I could and that’s what got me running!
What an awesome competition! I missed out THIS TIME, but now that I’m a loyal follower, I hope to get in on the fun next time. Good job everyone!
Cool! I hadn’t even seen this promo video. How neat.
(I don’t know how to work a Garmin either, and, in fact, returned it for my money back in frustation. Shhhh, don’t tell anybody.)
Where’s my handful bra!? Ahhhh!!!
(that Staples character is pretty insane huh)
*to answer one of your questions, it was a great and unique thing you all came up with. Bravo!
Congratulations to everyone! My highlight was that I ran over 100 miles in a month and that I ran a race and placed in my age group last month. Thanks for sponsoring this, it was a lot of fun!
heck yea to breaking 100!!! thanks for taking part!
This was definitely a blast! Thanks for hosting! Too bad I didn’t win a prize 🙁
Maybe next time!
awww, i’m so sorry u didn’t get a prize but *hallmark moment* you’re ALL winners in my eyes! 😉
