Great news! You all loved the Bondi Band that I wore during last weekend’s 5K so much that Bondi Band has offered to give THREE lucky Silly Tater Tot readers bands of their very own! But, to find out how to enter, you’ll have to read to the bottom (enter evil laugh here).
What a day! I had to get a very early start — 6:30am — because my bosses and I were driving to Tampa for business. We have a television show that currently airs in the Orlando market and is archived online, and we’re working to get it expanded across the state of Florida. Cross your fingers!
I took breakfast to go:
And when we arrived, I got down to business:
Ahem. At least my shoes were professional.
Cute, right? The presentation went very well, and we headed back to O-town, where I was good:
And very, very bad:
I needed the caffeine and was desperate.
When I got home, I was planning on a nice long run, but my iPhone had other ideas — I had to upgrade to the new software and it crashed my phone! So, I had to restore, reboot and wait, wait, wait… finally, I decided to just run without my iPhone/iPod.
As I expected, it was not fun. I just don’t like to be alone with my own thoughts! I did push myself through some speed drills, then came home for a cooldown:
Like that Bondi Band? Want one of your own?
I absolutely love these things. I have five — three with funny phrases, like “I Eat to Run,” and two solid colors. They’re wicking, stretchy, don’t hurt my head and are washable.
Also, Bondi Band donates 10% of its pre-tax profits to charity… this year, the money goes to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. So when you order, you look cool, get stopped at races and help find a cure for cancer. Win, win and win.
So, here’s what to do.
- Visit BondiBand.com then come back here and leave me a comment on this blog post, telling me which Bondi Band is your favorite. You’ll be entered to win one of three Bondi Bands!
If you want two more chances, here’s what to do:
- Follow me on Twitter (@kwidrick) and also follow Bondi Band (@bondiband). Then tweet this:
- Rock your workout with @bondiband! Enter to win a free band from @kwidrick here: http://cli.gs/y2rg9Z (RT?)
- Come back to this post and leave me another comment, letting me know about your tweet.
- Post a link to this giveaway on your blog, then come back to this post and leave me another comment, letting me know.
Three chances in all, and believe me — you will LOVE working out with a Bondi Band. There will be three winners, each winning one Bondi Band. The contest closes at 5pm on Friday, September 18th.
I’m off to make veggie burgers, then tune in for the season premiere of The Biggest Loser!
I like the Noola pattern! What great bands – I also like the hat for a ponytail – would be great for the MA winter!
I just tweeted about the giveaway too!
It’s a pretty close call between Charisma and Hippie Sun, my better half says I should say Hippie Sun all the way because I am a hippie, doesn’t he think he’s funny.
But really these bands are so cool. I simply love them, and the website!
And I also tweeted.
PS my better half was referring to my boyfriend, not some man that lives in my mind =)
I love the Polly print and the “Slow is the new fast!” So cute! I can never find headbands that stay on my head, this looks promising!
I’m tweeting about this as well
My favorite is the solid lilac wicking band!! Hooray for wicking things.
I would love to have this one: Solid Galaxy Wicking
Just started running so this would be very helpful!
Holy wow! There are so many to choose from, and they are all super cute, but I do really love the polly print.
too many to choose from! but what about that i run so i can eat? that is awesome. or just a charcal black beanie.
I’m loving the army ponytail hat. What a great idea for winter (I live in PA).
I tweeted too. Hoping to win!!
I’m not going to be original, I want the one your have! I RUN SO I CAN EAT
Just tweeted, and followed Bondi Band (already followed you!)
I love the wicking ponytail hat!!! I hate it when my ponytail doesnt fit under a hat and makes it slide up!
Okay other then the one for my puppy that I will have to buy. So many to love but how can a resist a design called sunshine. Of course the one that says “slow is the new fast” suits me.
I would LOVE the band that says “Operation: Shrink a Bootie.” I’m currently training for my first 5K and run (almost) everyday on the outer loop around my campus. I pass probably 50 college students and adults each run and would love to have an easy explanation for my huffing and puffing! At least this way they’ll get a good laugh at my headband, instead of the look of agony and despair on my face when I’m attempting to run around the 3 mile loop!
I’m now following you and Bondi Band on twitter and I tweeted
I’m a simple gal – I like the solid burgandy wicking headband. This would be great for keeping my growing-out bangs out of my eyes when I run!
Great contest!
Hi Katy! I’d have to say my favorite-favorite (it was hard to decide) is “In my dreams I’m a Kenyan”. Speed is not on my side in real life, only in my dreams.
I linked back on my blog
Great giveaway!
My favorite is the Flowing Flowers.
I love the one you have “I run so I can eat” and the “will run for chocolate” ones – too cute!
I couldn’t find the ‘I Run so I can Eat’ headband online?!?!
Is it hidden on the site? Hoenstly I love the consept of the wicking hat. I need one for when I do my really early training runs in the winter time.
I don’t tweet, but I did link to you on my lunch post!
they are soooo all super cute. i would like the black beanie! or polly one.
thanks!
Love the shoes! Super cute! You crack me up – I know I have told you this before but you really do. BTW, I took pics of my sweaty self post-yoga this morning a la Silly Tater Tot. You’ve inspired me!
I love those Bondi Bands! My fave is the one that says ‘breathe.’ It’s perfect!
Thanks for doing this!
I’m back! I just tweeted about the giveaway and I’m following @bondiband (I’m already following you!).
I like the solid colors, especially lilac and black because they match the pair of running shoes I have picked out for when my current ones die.
Love the solid raspberry headband! And I LOVE Dana Farber, Bondi seems like a great company!
I really like the green peace symbol headband. Awesome giveaway!
We are seriously supposed to only pick one of these?!? They are all SO CUTE! I really like “No pain no gain.” It’s something I always have to remember when I’m working out!!! I definitely think that wearing it would keep me (and others) motivated! I also tweeted this – I’m @megaug on Twitter

I love the I run so I can Eat one you are wearing! I am kind of obsessed with the ponytail hat as well. That will be fabulous when it gets cooler out! I also think the ones for dogs are so cute! Jackson (my dog) would love one!!
My fav is the “No Pain No Gain” band. I saw this booth at the Shamrock Shuffle 5k in Chicago but didn’t buy one and have been regretting it for months!
Hi! I really like the headband – “Tri…Like a girl”! I am a triathlete, so of course I would.
I love my bondi band too!!! My favorite is titled Kick Assphault
