Delayed Distance Dreamers Wednesday

Due to being out of town for the majority of this week, I won't been able to assemble the Distance Dreamers post. There will be a full update next week.

In the meantime, I have a small giveaway exclusively for this group of Distance Dreamers members (those listed on the spreadsheet)...you know who you are!

Everyone else, don't be angry, I'll have an actual giveaway better than this one to post soon that will be open to everyone.

If you've read my posts, I've done some experimenting with what works for me on long runs. I've discovered that GU gels are NOT for me, but I know they work for lots of people. I hated the fruity flavors and while I liked chocoloately flavors, I finally put everything together and realized these were causing the havoc on my stomach.
Therefore, the remaining 5 Mint Chocolate GU gels I have in my pantry are up for grabs. If you want them and are part of this Distance Dreamers group, just leave a comment. Random winner will be chosen. Must comment by the end of day Tuesday, 9/10/2010 and winner announced in the 09/11 Distance Dreamers post.
