the fresh air fund is still looking for runners and sponsors to join their fresh air fund-racers team. you can sign up with them until 9/30; hurry, time is running out! i've mentioned the fresh air fund before - they are a worthy organzation with a great cause.
another organization with open spots is team continuum. they've even created a "crash training plan" in case you haven't quite been running all along. kind of a good idea, but kind of also a bad one! not that i've ever not-trained for a marathon before...
anyway check out either of those organizations to get involved and run nyc!
coupons:
these are random, but thought i'd share in case anyone is interested:
- 25% off zing bars - enter coupon code "amazing" at checkout (exp 9/27)
- free shipping from macy's.com - promo code "X58B2Q8MBY1S" (exp 10/10)
i also have a coupon code for a csn stores discount but then i checked the exclusions page... wow. so what exactly does that leave to buy? should you find something that works - use "80112912388" for 20% off one item, or "BE112912389" for $25 off a $100 order.
Oooh, thanks for the zing bars tip. My mom is wheat-free so I like to experiment with yummy gf stuff for her.
ReplyDeleteOoh, free shipping from Macy's...gracias!!
ReplyDeleteI think Team for Kids - the NYRR Foundation charity running group also still has a few spots open. It's great for people who live in NYC especially because they provide SO much support! Both for training and fundraising.
ReplyDeleteSweet! I just won Kovas CSN gift card...double score!!
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, I got the email for the fresh air fund - opps.
Seeing all these NYC posts is killing me! I think I'm going to throw my name in the lottery...
ReplyDeleteHey, have a great weekend! It's gorgeous here.
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips! I have to say, though, the idea of a crash training plan for a marathon is a bit scary...I wonder if they're warning people that it's best to start with a certain base of running first?
ReplyDeleteI really need to be more-deliberate going into the fall races which marathon I want to sign-up for... I would have loved to get in to NYC but since I didn't make the lottery I thought that that was the end of it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for the suggestions. Products that I've not checked-out before.
Have a great weekend, Lindsay!
Don't know if I would ever run the NYC Marathon. I had to work in Manhattan for 5 years, and the buildings make me claustrophobic. Maybe if I experienced it differently like doing a marathon, I would love it. I think I will make that a nice long term goal - say 3 years or so. 2015 sounds like a good year to me. Thanks for the info on the charity thingies. Take care (Dork)! BTW, I am thinking of a new site called thedorkyrunner.com! lol
ReplyDeleteI think NYC is on my bucket list, just not sure when. That is indeed a good cause--we have friends who bring a child to their house each summer from Fresh Air Fund.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of doing the race with a charity. Especially those races that are on your ultimate list! I was cehcking out team Continuum, so wish I could work it out this year, NYC would be awesome. I had seen their accelerated plan a few days ago, pretty cool for those minute crazies ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat relay did you sign up for?
ReplyDeleteI got excited about the CSN discount code, since i recently won a gift card for them. But yeah, the exclusions. Seriously? Why even have a discount code?
