As I've mentioned before, I live in the land of the big Expo. With races like Marine Corps Marathon, Army 10 Miler, and RNR DC, there are plenty of opportunities to head to big expos and find things I never thought I needed. Since today's topic for Tuesdays on the Run is best race expo finds, I'll share those thing that I "needed" that actually turned out to be awesome. I don't generally buy any specific thing (I don't collect race pint glasses, which I'm sure surprises many of you) and most of my favorite brands are not at many expos. But I've gotten lucky a few times... Once, at the ATM expo, I met Jill from Lift Your Sole and gave her my info. This arrived in my mailbox one day...

Lucky 13 Giveaway #9: Lift Your Sole charm/necklace
Half Marathon #9 in 79 days is done! It wasn't my best race ever, but it's done. Today's giveaway is for a "Live Love Run" charm and leather cord from Lift Your Sole . I first met Jill from Lift Your Sole back 2010. I love her jewelry and I had the pleasure of meeting her at an expo and she was super sweet. In fact, she sent me a personalized charm shortly after our meeting, which I reviewed here.

The quality is awesome and I love how personal the necklace … [Read more...]
Lift Your Sole Review
Back in early October, I met Jill from Lift Your Sole at the expo for the Army 10 Miler. I purchased a cord and three charms, but also mentioned to Jill that I'd love to have one with "MCM Mama" on it. I gave her my business card and promised I'd be in touch. Well, my busy October/November got the best of me and I completely forgot. Jill did not. Look what came in the mail for me yesterday: I.LOVE.IT! She even sent me a lovely silver chain to wear it on! Thanks, Jill!!! If you are looking for a gift for the runner in your life, I highly recommend her products. I don't often wear jewelry, but I've been wearing the necklace I bought in October often. Things are still not great in the running department, but they are getting … [Read more...]
