My Go-To Mantra & an Endorphin Warrior GIVEAWAY!

It's no surprise that I adore Endorphin Warrior training bracelets.  In fact, I first fell in love with them after I saw the 2011 Nuun Hood to Coast team girls sporting them around their blogs.  I "dropped hints" (aka begged) around my husband and a "Persevere" bracelet magically appeared under the Christmas tree last year.

My arm looks hairy.

So when I heard Endorphin Warrior was offering to send all of the 2012 Nuun Hood to Coast gals a bracelet (that means ME!) I was ECSTATIC to say the least.  This time around I chose "Relentless".  My go-to mantra while running is:

Never Give Up.  
Never Surrender.  

And this seems to seamlessly interact with RELENTLESS.  And PERSEVERE too, for that matter.  Although I think I personally like the "PERSEVERE" statement better, the RELENTLESS bracelet just happens to fit a bit better (I'm not sure if they're the same size or not, but one is tighter which I prefer) so I pretty much never take it off.  I know you're not supposed to shower and swim with it to prolong it's life, but so far I seriously wasn't lying - I NEVER take it off (not for swimming or showering!) and it's still in awesome shape.  

This picture might be a little unrelated - but it deserves some more action.

So I was even MORE ecstatic (is that even possible?!) when Endorphin Warrior graciously offered to do a giveaway of a Warrior Training Bracelet for a reader.  I knew that you guys would love a bracelet just as much as I did, so I leaped at the chance to offer one to you. 

So I bet you're dying to know - How do I win?!  Here's all you have to do:

I love these bracelets! I'm so torn on which to pick so I never order one! I'm so indecisive. I guess I'd like to have one that says STRENGTH
I've been wanting one of these since the beginning of summer! I'm torn between RELENTLESS and the AS I RUN bracelet. I may have to drop some hints at Christmas time!

I love the idea of these bracelets! I'd chose "unbreakable" ... because that word has gotten me through many long, long training runs.

(ps- I can see and post comments to your blog using another browser!! woohoo!!)

Leave me out of the giveway, but: Haha -Oh, the caption on the first picture. I'm trying to put together a Sponsor Thanks post still, and that's what I kept thinking when I was taking pictures of my bracelet on my arm. "I can't show the internet this - they'll think I'm a man." :)

unbreakable. I've thought I was broken so many times and cried and given up. As it turns out, I was only mildly sprained. Every time I get off the mat, I feel unbreakable.

funny side note: Another blog had a giveaway and didn't send (or I didn't notice them sending) me to their website, and I had no idea they had specific mantras already printed on bracelets. I made up my own. So everyone on that blog found out that I am a fool. LOL

I like the Persevere & the Believe bracelet. Last week on my very 1st 70.3 ironman I had to dig deep to really get through that race. It was the first time I ever showed my emotions (crying) in public like that, I was in pain physically from a previous hip/bursa injury. At one point in the bike ride loop I had stopped, talked to my coach and friends and was at the point of making a decision to stop or keep going for fear of turning the injury into something chronic. Through prayer with friends and a couple of Naproxen :-) , I had the courage to dig a little dipper and was able to complete that race with a smile and some tears of joy... because I just kept believing and putting one foot in front of the other. Now I am on the road to recovery with 6 weeks off and PT but it was worth it.
