  1. I am a follower! I follow on Google Reader. I would love to win the Training Package!!!

  2. My favorite running moment was when I got my 10K PR. I had trained hard, and couldn't believe that I beat my previous best time.

  5. My favorite running moment was actually this past Saturday. My best friend Madison and I, who have been running together for over a year, cross the finished line of a 10k at the exact same time. Was so cool to be side by side at the race, just like we are in training.

  8. My favorite running moment was a New Year's Day 10K in 2009 when I was 35 weeks pregnant. I was slow as heck, but I managed to beat 32 people of the 250 person field. I was so proud that I was able to race at that point in my pregnancy and I was beyond excited that I actually finished faster than someone. It was so much fun and the looks on peoples' faces was classic!

  12. Favorite Running Moment: Running my wife in toward the end of her first marathon and then sprinting over to the Finish Line so I could see her cross.

  15. My favorite running half marathon moment was at the Lake Minnetonka Half just a few weeks ago. I ran with my pacers and moved ahead of them finishing faster than expected:) The sweetest thing is that I PRd!

  17. Comment 1, I am a follower.
    I want to win because I love the RockNRoll Races and have never run a race in chicago. I also need some socks, I just got a nasty blister from a poopy pair I used yesterday

  18. My Favorite running moment will still always be from my first marathon.. it was the moment at mile 23 when i started crying from exciting, from fatigue and everything else. A guy ran by me and said, you're almost there cry in 3 miles…so I stopped, started running and finished with the biggest smile

  21. I am a follower. I would love to win the 1/2 package! I live 1.5 hours outside of chicago, and would love the chance to run a race in the "big city".

  22. My favorite running moment would have to be when I crossed the finish line of my first marathon with one of my best friends. It the first for both of us. We joined hands and leaped across. Best finish line picture ever!

  25. My favorite running moment (thus far) was when I broke 30 min. on a 5k. Now if I could just do that consistently…

  26. I follow! I could make the half marathon too!! I've always wanted to do a R&R hslf!

  27. ( half package ) My favorite running moment(s) are from my morning runs in new orleans. There was an odd peacefulness seeing all the drunks passed out by the river…

  28. I am a follower! Someone explained to me how to sign up. Ha ha. I would like to sign up for the 1/2 package! I kept saying I would not run that race, but it sounds like a lot of fun 🙂

  29. My favorite running moment is when it is just me in the trees and I hear the birds singing around me. I love running in the nature preserves we have out here!

  31. My favorite running moment was at the end of my first half marathon….I pulled out energy from who knows where, and jumped up and down and did a little dance as I finished.

  33. I'm now "officially" following you. I don't think I'd be able to work in a Chicago trip, so I'd prefer the "training" package.

  34. My favorite running moment was the first time I went over 10 miles on a training run. I had two kids in the jogger that fell asleep early on, the weather was perfect and I decided to stop checking the mileage and just run for the enjoyment… it was one of those perfect runs. When I got home and realized I had gone over 10 it was great!

  37. I'm an A-listed! Training package for me please, can't guarantee I could make it to Chi-town.

  38. Favorite running moment:

    Finishing my first race ever, a half marathon in Sep '07, hand in hand with my hubs. We trained together, ran the whole race together. This is also the moment when I feel in love with running/racing.

  41. My favorite running moment was after running my first 10 mile run. This was my longest run to date, and it was in Alton, IL along the river. It was a gorgeous day, I was wearing a tutu, and I was running with my best friend. I kept really positive the whole time, and just really enjoyed the run. I had no real expectations but to finish, and I did, and with a really good time (for me!) I wish I had had this same attitude for my first half… I think I would have done sooo much better, had I.

  43. I am a follower as Chris

    I want the training package (Chicago is too far to travel 🙁 )

    Thanks so much for the chance

  50. the last 0.1 mile of my half marathon – having all of my family there to support me as i crossed the finish line.

  51. I am a Follower and would love #2, I cant make it to Chicago, saving for BOSTON!!

  52. There have been sooo many favorites but the one that really stick out is when I was alone after the Mercer Island half Marathon. I had been sick leading up to the race and was not happy with my performance. I got a text from my friend Amanda, she had FINALLY achieved her sub 2 hour Half Marathon on her birthday… Then the crowd parted and there she was… We hugged and both were crying!! It was so amazing to feel her excitement and joy…

  54. I would LOVE to win the 1/2 marathon package. I've always wanted run a "big" 1/2 or full. What a feeling! Thanks for the oppurtunity.

  55. I'm a follower!!! I would love the race package. If I won I'm sure my husband and I could make it happen. If you'd rather not risk an entry on me I'd be fine with Package #2. I love socks 🙂

  56. My favorite running moment is seeing people I know at a marathon. I usually train and run a lone most of the time so when someone makes it to support me it's very emotional. I also remember how happy I was after getting a PR after the Run Like Hell 1/2 marathon in 2007. It was almost all hills and when I saw the finish clock at the end I was so excited.

  61. My favorite running moment was running the lap around lambeau during the green bay marathon last year. I was grinning like a complete idiot!

  63. My favorite running moment was when I finished my first ten mile run! I couldn't believe I finished and that I had reached double didgits! It gave me a huge running high!

  67. my favorite running moment was last summer running with my brother and getting caught in a torrential downpour. it was so much fun! i think it was because i was with him, i would have been cursing if i was alone hah

  74. I'm laughing at my previous comment. I would love to win the half marathon but since that ain't going to happen I would love to win the entry. Now on to favorite running moment. Wow! That is a tough one. I guess I will say finishing my first marathon was pretty darn special!

  76. My heel hurts, I NEED those insoles! And I'm a loyal follower, unlike some- hehe.

  77. Favy running moment: Hum….thinking, thinking. Probably crossing St. George Marathon; and not ONLY because it was my first BQer, but because it was the first marathon I race smart and felt great the entire way.

  78. Ok, I went over to that damn FB and spent and of course got sidetracked and spent an hour scoping everyone's status but I FINALLY said "Like" to sofsole. There!

  80. I didn't leave a picture on sofsole's site on FB, but I did ask a question to them, does that count??!!

  82. My favorite running moment – tough. I think it could be my first half marathon. I did it all by myself – no cheerleaders- I was just so proud. It opened a big door to the future.

  85. I am a follower of this blog and would love to win the entry to Chicago half marathon.

  86. Favorite running moment was finishing my first full marathon in 2007. After several months of training it was the best feeling in the world to cross the finish line.

  90. My favorite running moment is my first race 4-08 – a 5k. I didn't think I could run more than a mile.

  92. I'm a follower! For now I'll say package #2. Although, I'd love to say #1 please, I'm not sure I'd be ready!

  93. My favorite running moment was when I was running on a local trail and I got "the nod" from another runner! 🙂 Woo Hoo! Recognize…

  97. New follower – I'm good with either training or 1/2 marathon Package 🙂

  98. Favorite running moment: Pre-running the course of the Bonfield Express as a family

  100. Now following your blog with Google Friend. I would prefer to win the Training Package.

  101. Favorite Running Moment: My running "career" is still very new. My new 5K PR made on Saturday is a new favorite!

  104. My favorite running moment happened today when I finished my marathon with a huge PR and my two boys ran me into the finish.

  105. I'm a follower….and you're #1 FAN!!!
    Oh, and I'd like the training option, I don't think I can make it to Chicago in Aug – especially if we're running in COL a few weeks later 🙂

  106. Just added the giveaway to my blog! I HAVE TO WIN! I haven't won anything in forever!

  109. My favorite running moment was of course when I finished my very FIRST race ever – the Lake Tahoe Half Marathon. I had no idea what I was doing out there, I had be running for about 18 months and had never raced even a 5K before! But as soon as I crossed that finish line I knew I had the racing bug. I cried in my Mom's arms and felt the biggest sense of accomplishment. I can remember it vividly to this day and each time I toe the line and cross the finish line I remember that first moment 🙂

  110. I'm a follower. I patiently wait at my computer day after day for you to update your blog. :p I really want the ½ marathon package!!

  111. My favorite running moment was finishing my last long run before my first half marathon in October! Such a great feeling to be ready for the half. Knowing I could do it was more important than running the race to me.

  114. My favorite running moment is when I completed my first half marathon and got my medal! 🙂

  117. I am a follower and training package for me please, I am not ready for a whole marathon yet!!

  118. Oops I thought it was for a full marathon but anywhoo my favorite running momement is when I decided I wanted to become a runner after my 2nd 5k!!

  124. My favorite running moment was probably when I completed my first training run over 13 miles. I loved the feeling of accomplishment that I had. I love racing, but my half marathon was a little bittersweet. I hope to create some new wonderful running memories soon!

  125. I will be honest and say I wasn't a follower until today, but I am adding you to my google reader feed as soon as this comment is posted!! Does that count? 🙂

    The Chicago RnR would be my second half, so I would definitely want the 1/2 marathon package. I would love to travel from NC and run it with a friend that lives there!

    My favorite running moment was completing my first half in March 2010 in Disney World, with 8 friends that I met through an online support group. We are now friends for life!
