#VeganWeek 8 Mile Run and Giveaway Winners!

by Katy on November 20, 2009

That’s right…I’m about to announce the winners of TWO #VeganWeek giveaways, so be sure to read all the way through!

Did you see all the people that took the Vegan 4 a Day challenge that Michelle and I offered up? You can get the links here. I’m amazed, and am so excited to get to know so many of you through your blogs and tweets!

I actually can’t believe I’m still awake, considering my 4:15am wakeup call. But when you have a chance to run with these rockstars:

Vegan Day 5 39

That’s Caitlin and Kelly (formerly of Beneath It All Blog, currently of grad school butt-kicking).

Vegan Day 5 40

Of course, I had some time to kill and decided to play around with my camera’s self-timer…

Vegan Day 5 8

Vegan Day 5 12

Ah, such grace. It was a lovely 8-mile run (for me — those nutty girls did 18!), and while it was slow, it was nice to get a longer distance in after three weeks on the bench. I was WHUPPED!

Vegan Day 5 14

I thought I might have to shower at Starbucks again, but I had time to run home and get cleaned up there. That meant I got to see my sweetie, who greeted me with coffee!

Vegan Day 5 23

Got to work and ate an apple…although, it’s hard for me to work up hunger after a run. Later in the day, I get famished, but in the first hours after, I have to force myself to eat.

Vegan Day 5 25

Like the t-shirt? It’s from this race. I dressed down because we’re still moving our offices. The new place gives me much better backdrops for my leftover lunches:

Vegan Day 5 28

And Vega smoothies (although I ended up taking this home and mixing it with hot water. Got the idea from Angela‘s hot smoothies!)

Vegan Day 5 31

By the way — dishes always get done twice in my house. Because of this.

Vegan Day 5 33

Finished off the night with smashed kidney bean and carmelized onion burritos (on Ezekial wraps) and some unpictured soy milk ice cream with vegan chocolate chips.

Vegan Day 5 37

Vegan Day 5 38

Now, onto the good stuff…you guys blew me away with your nice comments on Angela’s guest post. Weren’t those amazing vegan baking tips? Note to self: try flax egg.

Okay, by random selection, the winner of the Glo Bakery bars is…

I would love to win some bars! I have been dyyying to give them a try :O)

Congratulations, Beth! I hope you’ll come back and give me a review after you get your bars.

And, the winner of the Vega gift pack giveaway is…

I’ll be in touch with both winners…thanks to everyone who entered!

I wish I had the dedication to get up in the dark and run like you girls do. Running 8 miles is amazing, I can only do about 3 now but I am trying to slowly work up to more.
Your cat is too cute sitting near (on top) of the dishes! I have two cats, so I know what you mean about having to wash dishes twice. One of my cats has a habit of sitting on the cutting board that we leave on the counter, so I have to double wash it every time!
Congrats to the winners. :)
