Both winners of $150 #ASICS Gift Codes announced



ASICS LA Marathon
The ASICS LA Marathon is now just days away, and before flying across the country to run it I was honored to give away a pair of ASICS gift codes as a way to thank my friends for their support!

The two codes were worth $150 each and are redeemable on asicsamerica.com, and if you entered, thank you very much and please follow my blog because I will be giving away more stuff in the future! For now, this one is done. We have our two winners!

FIRST WINNER: Heidi Gerhardt! Congrats @heidigerhardt -- I contacted her with her unique ASICS gift code to use to order shoes, clothing or any other gear up to $150 at asicsamerica.com. I used a random number generator and she was the random selection. SECOND WINNER: Congrats to Shay of @WhineLess! She wins the same thing, and she has just been selected the same way.

I've described most of the amazing perks that has come with being selected to the ASICS LA Marathon Blogger Challenge Team over this winter, and this is just the latest one. ASICS emailed me and asked that I give these out to my readers as a way of saying thanks. How cool and legit is that? Being able to just go onto asicsamerica.com and finding what you want, like perhaps a pair of GEL-Nimbus 15s, similar to the model that ASICS sent me over the winter for my training!



Thank you again for all of your support. And if you'd like to support me during the actual ASICS LA Marathon, you also can do that by going to supportyourmarathoner.com and leaving me a message of any kind that I can see when the going gets tough during the race! I'm bib #19926 in case that helps.

    I'd use the $150 to buy a new pair of Asics running shoes! I've unfortunately been sidelined with an injury the last few months and have had to withdraw from the LA Marathon next week but am hoping to be back stronger than ever to run it next year!! Asics gear is the best and has always helped me to run my best and feel the best doing so!!

    My name is Sydney and tweet at @sbsperling !!

    Thank you! Good luck and most importantly have the BEST time next Sunday! I'll be at the starting line volunteering and hope to see you there! #betteryourbest

    Those Gel Nimbus look like something great to try, I've never run in Asics.

    I'd definitely use the $150 to buy some gear to remember my first full marathon by. The limited edition 2014 Los Angeles Marathon sneakers are amazing, and they still have my size left! http://www.asicsamerica.com/Shop/Footwear/Running/Womens/LAM-GEL-Lyte33%E2%84%A2-3/p/0010222323.2345 Love the LAM ASICS® Core™ Singlet as well! http://www.asicsamerica.com/Shop/Tops/Running/Womens/LAM-ASICS%C2%AE-Core%E2%84%A2-Singlet/p/0010219711.20

    Hey Mark,
    I would love a new pair of tights! I love the Lite-Show the most! http://www.asicsamerica.com/Shop/Bottoms/Running/Womens/Women%27s-Lite-Show%E2%84%A2-Tight/p/0010178294.130

    They would be great for these cold Iowa winters. These negative temps have been killing my run game! I am running my first half this April in my new Gel Kensei 5s! I love them!
    @britybell

    Good luck Mark!

    I ran my first half marathon in a pair of ASICS. And though that pair of shoes is completely worn out, I'd love to get another pair with the $150, so I can get back in shape!

    Best of luck in LA!

    I'm a huge Asics fan. Was given a pair for Christmas 2003 and have never looked back. Kaynao are my favorite and the most expensive shoe in my closet. No compromise. So, it's needless to say, I'd buy another pair:

    I'm also jones'in for some new tank tops since it's Texas and summer runs are always hot.

    Best of luck in LA!

    I'd use the $150 to stock up on non-white running shirts that cover up the fact I forgot to tape down my nipples.

    Not sure if the giveaway is still open, but I just found your blog, and wanted to give it a go!

    I'm also a big fan of the Gel Nimbus - I just switched back to them after four years in a lighter shoe. After running the Austin Marathon a couple weeks ago and gearing up to start training for the Light at the End of the Tunnel Marathon in July, I decided I would forgo the lighter weight for the awesome cushion of the Gel Nimbus! So I'd use the credit to buy another pair of Gel Nimbus shoes.
