Posts Tagged ‘L.A. Marathon’

For anyone out there still contemplating a late winter/early spring marathon, I have the opportunity of a lifetime — a chance to run in the L.A. Marathon on March 20 thanks to Salonpas, a sponsor of #runchat in November 2010.

Please only enter if you are sure you can commit to this race! Here’s how to do it: Go like Salonpas on Facebook right now! Then come back here leaving a comment saying you “like” them. That counts as one entry. To have a second entry, leave a comment here telling me one must-have product you can’t live without when it comes to running. That will count as one entry.

Please note the two ways to have an entry — if they’re left in one comment, it will count only as one entry.

What is Salonpas you ask? Their Pain Relief Patch is the only FDA-approved over-the-counter pain relieving patch on the market. They last up to 12 hours. Muscle pain? Arthritis pain? Back pain? … just have some pain somewhere? Try one of these out. I’ve tested a couple of the patches out on my lower back and it’s pretty cool … or hot … or something. It works, that’s for sure. The only drawback I found was an awkward smell, kind of like mints. Nothing all that bad.

For more information on the patches, find out much more on their Facebook page. They’re also currently hosting a sponsorship program where groups can apply to receive workout backpaacks, water bottles, T-shirts and samples for every member on the team. If you’re interesting in getting a free sample, just click on the “Try Me” tab on their Facebook page, then click on the “Free Sample” button and fill out the form.

For the marathon giveaway, all comments must be received by 8 p.m. ET (that’s 5 p.m. on the West Coast). A winner will be chosen using Random.org — entries are based on the first comment received being No. 1, the second comment received No. 2, etc. Please leave a valid email address so I can contact you sometime this weekend regarding the free entry free.

Good luck!!
