Giveaway: New Balance 1080 NBX Running Shoes
Juneathon. Oh yes. Kind of bolloxed that up at the end, really. I totally blame Helen and Cassie for making me get drunk. They did Juneathon though by doing bar press-ups – Cassie did hers in my local
and Helen did hers in a pub in Hythe.
Cassie was also especially hardcore and Juneathoned by doing a Dressing Gown Dash in my dressing gown in my garden.
Anyway, well done everyone who successfully (or not so successfully) completed Juneathon. As you’ve probably worn out your trainers with all that running, here’s a chance to win a new pair.
Sweatband have asked me to give away a pair of New Balance 1080 NBX Running Shoes – you can choose from either women’s
or men’s.
All you have to do to win a pair is write a Juneathon haiku and leave it in the comments box and I’ll choose the winner (or get Shaun to do it).
A haiku is a three line poem, consisting of 17 syllables in a 5-7-5 format.
Here’s an example:
A month of running
Every day for Juneathon
I am knackered now
Terms:
UK entries only
Competition closes midnight 31 July 2012
Exercise is neat
Wish I had stayed on my feet
Juneathon big fail
I tried to run more
But the rain defeated me
I don’t like downpours
I Junathoned once
It lasted all of two days
Before I gave up
I tried to run far
And I tried to blog often
But excuses won
I look at my legs
The great warmth of Juneathon
Leaves a capri tan
One hundred miles run
Including fifteen parkruns
May I rest now please?
A run in the park
Or some push ups in the pub
Juneathon is done!
So much bloody rain
Mud splattered all up my legs
Juneathon be gone
I lost a toenail
But found a good running club
So it was worth it
Run, sweat, log and blog
But where is our great leader?
Cathy’s in the pub!
Haikus are stupid.
Who wants to count syllables?
(But I like the shoes)
Juneathon, I tried.
I didn’t hate every run.
Only most of them.
Juneathon is dead,
(thirty happy running days)
long live Janathon.
Juneathon is over
Many miles done
I wonder if I have a smaller bum
I have trod through wind
and rain, and back again, and
on ’til June was done.
If I enter twice
Do I stand a better chance
Of winning those shoes?
Actually, I lied
I only lasted one day
And then I got drunk
Loving the haikus
That people have came up with
Just thought I’d tell you
To succeed you must
jog, log don’t forget to blog
eat, sleep then repeat
Juneathon and prunes
What do they have in common?
They keep you going
A month to get fit
Juneathon is the best trick
I’m glad it’s July!
Juneathon I love
But a car crash and whiplash
Saw me thrown off track
Scenery flows by,
Juneathon ‘neath Summer sky,
Precipitation.
Running juneathon.
Hair matted with sweat and rain
Time for a haircut?
Juneathon I sought,
Runs and exercise my vice,
Trainers are my prize!
Ghana Juneathon
Not fun to run in the sun
Is it wise to moan?
Bloody bar press-up
How flipping embarassing
Pass me a pint now.
Don’t run for fun
But in races, for glory
It’s a way of life
