Okay I am a baaaad, bad blogger. I am over two weeks without a post, but what can I say the summer finally landed in Nova Scotia, and theboy had major 4H stuff on the go, and we are now in crunch time at work, so unfortunately the kid needs to prioritize.
A couple weeks ago things were going along to good. Monday of that week i had a pretty big flare up of gout. I was a little peeved because i have been taking my meds that are supposed to prevent these things from happening but alas my foot she felt like someone hit the middle of it with a sledgehammer. So needless to say not much in the way of workouts in the early part of the week. Last couple of weeks went like dis:
Monday: Gout Foot
Tuesday: Gout Foot
Wednesday: Gout Foot but light swim
Thursday: 1000m swim
Friday: 1250m swim + 20mile stationary bike ride + light weights
Saturday: 6km run + 16mile stationary bike ride + light weights
Sunday: 5km run + 9mile stationary bike ride + light weights
The following week:
Monday: 1000m swim
Tuesday: 2500m swim
Wednesday: off
Thursday: 10mile bike + 3km run
Friday: 2000m swim + 7km run + light weights
Saturday: 16mile bike + light weights
Sunday: 1500m open ocean swim
So a great bounce back week after the gout and within that time also had some of my swag come in for Big Boy Running.
So the first shirts up top were done through an online site by moi just to see what things would look like. I only got 2 of them and there are some things i like and some things i dont.
The other shirts pictured above were through a friend and local supplier. These shirts have been in the works since May, so back then i really didnt know what i wanted. I really like the purple dude instead of the larger red/pink dude and you can really see the logo better. I didnt have the idea of the hash tags or to add 'club' until it was too late in the process. These shirts are also much nicer quality then the first ones.
So how do you get one of these swagtastic shirts you are wondering? Well I have a few of the purple dude ones to give away. They range in sizes from XXXL to Large, sorry Medium and Small T-shirt wearers, it just felt all kinds of wrong to get 'BigBoyRunning' shirts in those sizes. I will send you one but here is the catch - you have one year upon receiving the shirt to register for a walk/run 5km event or higher. I will also accept Try a Tri or Sprint Distance Triathlon or higher as well. Second is that after you do this event you need to shoot me a pic of you in your swag with the trophy, or medal, or event swag so I can post it on the blog and give you some serious props. If you can live with those requirements then a free shirt is yours. Get at me through the site or Facebook if you wants the swag. No pressure - you have a year!
Next round of swag might have to have a price tag on it, so get the free stuff while you can, while supplies last.
