I'm so incredibly excited to post my very first giveaway! It's like my blog has finally come of age!
When I was at the Lehigh Valley Half Marathon Expo, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Runner's World editor Amby Burfoot. He won the 1968 Boston Marathon (is time was 2:22:17), and has been working at Runner's World since 1978.
The giveaway is for a signed copy of Amby's book, The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life that I picked up at the Expo and had Amby sign for one of my readers! This book contains Amby Burfoot's lessons from his lifetime of running. It is meant to be inspirational and spiritual.

I'm inspired by those runners that are in their twilight years but still out there moving. I used to always see a woman in her 80's who still competed in the senior olympics during my long runs and that always inspired me to keep going when the going got tough!

I am not looking to be entered into the contest but I just want to say my inspiration for running lately is you... You have been doing so well and I enjoy watching you grow as a runner.
I love you!
Your husband

I linked to the contest page on my blog too.
I am inspired to run by the way my body responds when I give it a challenge. At first, it didn't like the fact that I was moving, but now it's as if my body craves that movement and needs to run.
Everytime I run or spectate a race I am inspired by the people of all shapes/sizes/ages out there doing their thing. :)
I follow you!
I run because everytime I go it's a challenge: a faster pace, a farther distance, etc. And it's fun!
My inspiration to run is my family. I'm currently trying to lose weight, get fit, and be healthy so that I can be around for my wife and kids for years to come.
I now follow your blog and welcome you and all your other readers to follow mine as well. Thanks!
I'm inspired to run to prove to people I am fast and I can be an incredible runner even after surgery. I'm running for those who can't!

I'm inspired to run because it allows me to center myself, and connect with other runners!
I was inspired to run by my running buddy being 68yrs old! If he can do it why can't I?! Also by watching biggest loser on tv, if those people can go from the shape they were in to running a whole marathon at the end of the season, why can't I??!! I don't see whole marathon plans in my future but I did do a half!!
