Thank you for following my blog. Now that I have had my running blog online since August 2012, I want to have a product raffle. I am going to try and have a raffle quarterly to draw interest to my blog, but more importantly to running and a more healthy lifestyle.
To participate, you will have to make a comment on this post and answer a couple of questions. However, to be allowed to enter the contest, you will have to be a follower of my blog. The easiest way to follow my blog is to go the the right column, and you will see a orange button called “Follow Doombuggy Runner”. Simply enter your email address, and you will receive an email that you have to confirm by clicking a button in the body of the email.
Here is the contest, and its rules. You are to reply in a comment to this post, and make sure you include all the requested information in your response. Since you will be a follower, I will have your email address to contact the winner.
The contest will last one (1) week. From Monday, April 1st until Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 11:59 PM.
1) You must guess how many Peanut M&Ms are in this water bottle. Yes I know, not the healthiest of options, but the racks were wiped out this weekend at Target for Easter!
2) You should also include in your comment something inspiring about your running for others to read for encouragement.
Normal Price Is Right rules apply. You must get as close to the exact number without going over. If I have a tie, the winner will be the person would submitted their response first.
Now that I have built your anticipation, I know you want to know what you will win…. Wait for it….
The prize has been added to the picture now…
That’s right. You will win a blue roll of 20 pre-cut strips of KT Tape. A must for all runners to stay in top shape!
I hope you enjoy this little contest, and enjoy following my running blog in the future. The winner will be notified on Monday, April 8th via email. I will make blog post of the winner as well, so all will be notified. Thanks again for participating and good luck!
I say 120! Did I win? Did I win?
You didn’t inspire us with an answer to question 2! Oh you’ll find out next Monday!
OK, I am guessing 250. And my words of encouragement about running? Um…. when there is something chasing you, run faster. How’s that?!
Oh, and I want to win the water bottle and the M&Ms too.
Nice encouragement! M&Ms are claimed! Water bottle may be negotiated! 🙂
133 would be my guess!
Running my first half marathon on April 7th – so my fairly amateur words of encouragement would be to get up and go with no excuses, ESPECIALLY on the days you don’t want to! I’ve found that those days are the ones that matter the most!
Thanks for your vote and good luck with your half marathon this weekend!!!
I’m gonna guess 175.
For encouragement… lately I haven’t hit the splits I’ve wanted in my speedwork, so I just want to encourage everyone by saying that just getting out there for a run, you are going to get better even if you don’t reach your goals for every single run!
Amy thanks for your vote and your encouraging note!
You’re welcome. Good thing the prize is KT tape and not all those M&Ms. My husband would demolish those, peanut ones are his fave, hehe.
My guess is 145. Yay doom buggy! My coach rocks!!!
Thanks Tasha!
Hey Natasha. Small world seeing that we have mutual friends with David.
I am updating my guess. My guess is now … 0. Yup, zero. Because you ate them all!!
LoL! I wish!

Run with a buddy when possible. Props to my friend Greg Shore for staying with me this past Saturday. The extra motivation is a sustaining element that pushes one to achieve their goals. On the flip side. Be a motivator. Slow down and run with a friend. You’ll truly never know how it is effecting people. RUN ON!!
Thanks for your guess my friend. Great advice! That Greg Shore is a pretty great guy for his support!

I like to run in different areas or trails for change of views. One of my favorites is running up Cooper River Bridge before sunrise and then back over the bridge during sunrise. It reminds me of God’s presence.
Eric that is awesome! Thanks for participating! I didn’t realize you run. We will have to run sometime in the future.
100?
Thanks for your submission. Who are you? What inspires you to run?
174. ” Just keep running, just keeping running, running, running…” in my Dori voice.
Thanks for participating Maribel! Thanks for the motivational thought from Dori! Love it! Wait, I love anything Disney!
I finally decided to actually “follow” your blog since I was reading all of your posts anyway! 🙂 My guess is 217. My inspiration…never ran at all until after I turned 40 and then dove right into training for a half marathon! I thought I was nuts and never thought I could do it. However, people believed in me and encouraged me, and I did it!!! So…if you don’t run and think you can’t, it’s never too late. If you do run, never stop encouraging the newbies, it goes a long way!!!
Hey thanks for jumping in and following my blog Tara! Thanks for the vote and the words of encouragement. I can attest you have done an awesome job in your running! You even got my buddy Michael running. It was awesome spending Marathon Weekend at Disney with y’all in January!
I will say 193. I have shaven my 2 mile ran test score from 19:33 when I joined the Army, to 14:43 at my last PT test. Always strive to bring down your personal best. I am seriously considering the Dopey Challenge.
Hey my now west coast buddy! Thanks for serving our country! Thanks for your vote & participating. Congrats on the awesome time shaving!
