The Oregon Is Awesome Give Away

Have I ever told you how much I love Oregon?  If not, let me tell you now.  I love it, and always have.  I'm a big fan of the entire Pacific Northwest actually.  But I like Portland more than Seattle.  And the Oregon side of the Columbia River is dope.

Anyway, because I love Oregon so much, I thought I'd do a give-away to celebrate the awesomeness that is the Beaver State.  As you may know, I am a member of Team Odwalla this year.  As a result, I've got a pretty good supply of Odwalla energy bars with a stated purpose to share them with fellow athletes.  I'm also going to Boston this weekend.  And though unfortunately I'm there on other business and leaving Sunday, I'll be down in Copley Square.  So I'm going to grab some sort of genuine Boston Marathon souvenir directly at the source, bring it back home to California and throw it into the prize box.

So how do you win?  Well, this one's really easy.  All you need to do is qualify with at least three of the following four requirements:

1) Live in Oregon
2) Have the first name "Amanda"
3) Have a blog called "Runninghood"
4) Be a huge Oregon Ducks fan

So good luck to anyone named Amanda from Oregon who has a blog called "Runninghood" and may or may not be a Ducks fan.  Claim your prize by leaving a comment.

I Did A Weird Thing Too.

Diana from Diana Tries-A-Tri posted a video of her doing a rotation of Tacfit on her blog today.  The video is awesome primarily because I now know what Tacfit is (I was wondering).  It's also very impressive - 9 rounds of that is most likely very brutal.  Well done, Diana.

Not wanting to be left out of a cool new idea, I quickly made a video of what I was doing.  But for a proper compare and contrast, you should watch Diana's first.

Unfortunately, I'm not doing 9 rounds of anything.  I'm watching USC/Oregon.  Despite living in Southern California, I am a huge Oregon fan.  As expected, the game is turning into an epic battle.  As a result, Craig from Let's Do This Again will notice that I look more excited than usual.

P.S. Since this is primarily a endurance sports blog, I should probably mention that I did do a 10 mile run earlier.  I haven't been on the couch the entire day.
