Hippie Chick Quarter & Half Marathon GIVEAWAY!

As you all know Nuun dominates as the hydration-of-choice at my race-of-choice, Hood to Coast.  Well, in case you hadn't heard, they're also now partnering with the Better Series, which is a series of six races in the Portland area run from May-November each year.
 
Better Series 

The Better Series includes: 
2) Helvetia Half Marathon & 10k June 7 (Hillsboro)
3) Red White and Blues 5k & 10k July 6 (downtown Portland)
4) Pints to Pasta 10k September 7 (runs from the Widmer Brewery to The Old Spaghetti Factory in Portland - what could be better?!)
6) Turkey Trot 5k November 27 (West Linn)

Well today's your lucky day, because thanks to Nuun, one lucky reader and I will be running the Hippie Chick Half Marathon!  Okay okay, you can choose the quarter marathon if you want.  But only if you can tell me how far that is.  And also you should probably dress like a hippie.

 

And just because I'm so nice, I'll also throw in a tube of Nuun's brand new energy product (#getelectrolit), which is part same old Nuun we know and love chock full with electrolytes plus now all souped up with caffeine and b vitamins.  You'll have to pick up your prize at the race though, because I'm lazy and going to the post office sounds way too hard for this Mama who's not getting much sleep (Baby J was up 3 times last night, WHYYYY??????).  

 He's still pretty cute though.

And to make it easy on you, there's just one way to enter.  Comment!  Tell me why you want to win, or what flavor Nuun is your favorite, or what other Better Series race you'd like to run, or how much sleep you got last night!   

A winner will be chosen using random.org in one week: on Thursday, April 10 at 8:00pm.  

COME JOIN ME!

If I win can I be reimbursed for the race fee I already paid? Or entry to a different race in the series?

I'm already planing on running Hippie Chick, for the third year in a row. In 2012 it was my first half marathon ever! And it's awesome getting a necklace so you can wear your "medal" in public.

I would love to add Oregon to my list of states I have run a race in. Plus my Mom lives nearby and she really loves cheering for me at races!

I simply want to run this race again, and meet up with you before the race. It would be lots of fun.
I'd do Pints to Pasta again too, since it's all downhill.

Okay I'll bite! I would def need to do the 1/4 marathon, which is probably just short of 11k, which means an automatic PR. Even though I'm still coming back from the one-two punch of anemia/mono. I'll take it!

Pick me pick me! I would love to run with you! It would give me motivation to really get back into running and shape and lose these pesky 10 extra prego pounds! Eek! Just in time for Mother's Day;) I know I can train and be ready for 1/4 marathon or 6.55 miles! Lets do this. Plus you can turn me on to Nuun, I've actually never had it! I know, crazy right?!?! Hope to see you may 10th;)
