As predicted, I’ve been extremely busy getting ready for my oral qualifying exam on Friday.\u00a0 So busy, in fact, that I haven’t even been able to get out for a run this week, and don’t see it happening until this weekend.\u00a0 Oh well, they say a week off every once in a while is good for you.\u00a0 So here you go, “they.”<\/p>\n

No Meat Athlete sightings!<\/h3>\n

A few readers sent me pictures of themselves in No Meat Athlete shirts after their turkey trots, which I always appreciate:<\/p>\n

\"No<\/p>\n

\n

That’s Sarah (top), a graduate student in communications at out San Diego State University, and Heather (bottom), from my home state of Maryland, whose race benefitted So Others Might Eat<\/a>.\u00a0 Doin’ good in an NMA shirt; can’t beat that with a stick!<\/p>\n

Another cool NMA shirt story — Jose<\/a> wore his in the California International Marathon and ran alongside running legend Bart Yasso<\/a> long enough to show him his shirt!\u00a0 Can you say “street cred”?\u00a0 Apparently, Yasso is a vegetarian as well!<\/p>\n

Shirts have been flying off the shelf recently, so fast that I’m having trouble keeping them in stock.\u00a0 But I have two big shipments coming in, so though I can’t guarantee it, you should still be able to get them by Christmas if you order in the next few days.<\/p>\n

SIGVARIS giveaway<\/h3>\n

\"MattSince my 50K on Saturday was canceled, I didn’t get the chance to try out my new SIGVARIS Athletic Recovery socks <\/a>afterward.\u00a0 But I’m going to go ahead and do the giveaway nonetheless, with the review forthcoming.<\/p>\n

So here’s the deal with SIGVARIS: they do a lot of serious, medical stuff with compression socks, so you know they’re legit.\u00a0 The good news for us is they’ve recently gotten into this silly running business, so you, the NMA reader, have a chance to win a pair of their brand new Athletic Recovery socks.\u00a0 And I have not one, but TWO pairs to give away!<\/p>\n

\"FlatSIGVARIS Athletic Recovery socks’ slogan is “because not all compression socks are created equal,” and their reasoning is that most compression socks don’t feature true<\/em> graduated compression.\u00a0 Looking at the sock, the fact that these truly are graduated is obvious; you can clearly see that it’s very narrow around the ankle, and GRADUALLY (that’s key, hence the caps) widens as it goes up the calf.\u00a0 Theoretically, this is conducive to good bloodflow and faster recovery.\u00a0 You can read more SIGVARIS features<\/a> here.<\/p>\n

So here’s how this will work.\u00a0 I have two sizes to give away: size “A” is for Women’s shoe size 5-7; size “B” is for Women’s size 7.5-9.5 or Men’s size 6.5-8.5.\u00a0 To enter, just leave a comment on this post.\u00a0 And please choose A or B when you enter; no fair entering for both!<\/p>\n

Get those entries in by next Monday (December 14, 2009), and I’ll randomly choose the winners early next week.\u00a0 Remember: you have to specify A or B (not both)<\/strong>, or you’ll be DQ’d!<\/p>\n

And as always, I really appreciate links back to this post or tweets about the giveaway.\u00a0 I don’t require them for entry, nor do they earn you extra points.\u00a0 But they are really helpful to me, so if you’re a fan of these easy-entry giveaways, why not share the love?<\/p>\n

Good luck!\u00a0 Just imagine — this could be your leg!<\/p>\n
