It's Official: The Giveaway of My Dreams is Here!
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?

If I can figure out how to link you to my blog (new to it...) then I will do that as well :-)!
I made it to your blog by way of Marcia's blog. I'm glad I got here, not just for your great blog and this awesome giveaway, but for the link to Athleta Chi Blog. I did not know about that blog. It's a great celebration of female athletes and their products are pretty cool too.
I'd love the Hana Run Short in black and the Sleeveless Twist Top in white or rosey red.
Top: either kelly green or white!
I love the "blue moon" shorts and the "black tendril" top!
If I am the lucky winner - I'll take the shorts in black and the top in blue moon!
Thanks
