    SLY Awards: Dick’s Sporting Goods

    By Stephanie | March 16, 2010

    SLY Award recipient Kristen McGee left this comment on one of my recent posts about running, “There is another mom I like to walk with here, and I am thinking of convincing her to run a 5K with my in the fall (I figured that would be enough time to recover from baby #2…). We’ll see!

    As most of you know, I run regularly and have competed in completed several 5Ks. Now that I’ve discovered all of the boons of running, I can’t help but encourage my friends to give it a try.

    As such, I’m happy to be hooking Kristen up with a $50 gift card to Dick’s Sporting Goods to help her on her way.

    Perhaps she will pick out a performance tee, some great new kicks, or a super cute running skirt [click on each of the pictures to see more details]:

    I also wanted to take a minute to tell Kristen (and you! – my readers!) about a special opportunity that you might be interested in:

    Dick’s is currently hosting a Starting Lineup contest to find 10 people to test out new products for them in the coming year. You can check out all of the rules by clicking on that little button to the left (FYI…you do have to have a Twitter account to participate…another reason to sign up for a twitter account). The deadline is March 31st.

    Even if you choose not to participate in the contest, you can still keep-up-to-date with all of the latest news related to Dick’s Sporting Goods by following on twitter: @dickssportcmo.

    Oh, and Kristen? If you do decide to move forward with your plan (I hope you do! 5Ks are so much fun!), you might want to check out my past post: How to Train for a 5K.

    ———————————————————————-————-

    WIN IT! One winner will receive a $50 gift card to Dick’s Sporting Goods. To enter, leave any topic-related comment on this post prior to Wednesday, March 24th at 11:59 p.m. All generic comments like “Enter me!,” “Love it,” and “Cool stuff!” will be disqualified.

    —————————————————————————————–

    Dick’s Sporting Goods has generously donated 2 $50 gift cards for this SLY Awards promotion – one for Kristen and one for the giveaway. I received no product or monetary compensation for this post. I’m just excited to celebrate Kristen and…you.

    *UPDATE* The winner is #200 Sarah C. Congratulations!

      I LOVE running! 5Ks are a great race too, not too long, not too short..perfect! I would love to win a Dick’s gift card to pick up some more fun running gear. There is just something about having new, fun gear that really pushes you to get out the door and start running.

      Who isn’t in the running mood with this perfect weather? Running is a time when you can be by yourself enjoying the great outdoors, or you can run with a friend and catch up with each other. A new running outfit might just be what one needs to get out there and run. Thank you Dick’s Sporting Goods for that opportunity.

      One of my best friends ran a HALF last fall. She wants me to run at least a 5k with her–but I always get intimidated. I really want to go for it this year, though. I just need the shoes for it! I keep telling Kristen she just needs to go for it, too! Thanks for this giveaway!

      I can’t run… doctor’s orders, but I do walk and am looking forward to breaking out the tennis shoes again – as soon as the sun starts shining and it quits raining!

      Ok, so we don’t have a Dick’s here, but I am sure I could find something online. It may be just thee motivation I need to start running. It is so hard to be consistent with the short warm weather season here in MT, but I really need to kickstart a new fitness routine and I always see results when I run.

      I just walked in the door after a brisk 3 mile walk down by the beach this morning. I am STILL trying to get into running. I was doing quite well last summer, then petered out. I have JUST re-started a couch to 5k program. I can run more than one minute at a time, but when I do that, I burn myself out…so I am trying to take it slow this time so as not to over do it and lose the excitement of it. I know there is a secret runner in me. You know, I just remembered that it was one of your posts about running that I was led to from a friend and in turn commented on. I am so glad to have found a friend in you!

      I used to run track while in school, but got out of the habit while in college. I’ve also moved since then. What seems to set me back the most is the temperature here in the summer – easily 100+ regularly. I also hate treadmills. Right now I do a lot of walking, but I’m going to make a conscious effort to begin running again after our first child is born this summer. :)

      I am not the running type, but I do love walking and now that spring is maybe almost here (although I am not holding my breath… it is Cleveland after all), I will be outside with Little C and our dog taking lots of walks and playing in the grass… although that will most likely be barefoot!

      I’m not a runner, but I’d like to try! I’ve walked in a local 5K previously and am thinking of using your 5K training guide to make it a run instead of a walk this year. We’ll see! I have until mid-July…

      I’ve always tried to stay fit, and now that I am pregnant with #3, I am trying harder than ever to keep up with those workouts. Some new running gear would really be nice. My stuff has holes in it for goodness sake. I think that if I want to have more motivation to workout, I should probably get something that makes me feel good while doing it.

      I am definitely not a runner, but I did force myself to do it for a summer and managed to get up to the point where I could run (okay, you should really read that as jog) for a solid thirty minutes. I am definitely in need of some motivation to get myself back in shape and would love to have a gift card to spend on some workout clothes to inspire me.

      I’m sure I could find a way to spend a $50 gift card at Dick’s. I played golf when I was single and had disposable money (and time). My husband is interested in learning, so we could pick up some new equipment and spend a little couple time out on a course while the weather is so nice!

      Mike ran a marathon several years ago (our son was just a few months old and our daughter was around two). It was one of the coldest, rainiest days of the year and he did awesome anyway. I’ll never forget standing there at the finish line, freezing and wet, cheering him on with tears in my eyes. I’m not a runner (can’t with my knee), but I admire all of you who are!

      Dick’s is pretty much where it’s at if you’re a runner without a local running shop to go to. They’re the only big chain that carries a legitimate selection of running shoes that you’d normally only find at a specialty running store.

      I’m not a runner – my body isn’t cut out for it, but I do enjoy walking!
      I think I’d use the money for fireline or put it towards a gps!
      Thanks for the giveaway!

      I’m so glad winter is finally over! I can now take my furry girl for the nice long walks we both enjoy again. Walking a dog is so much more fun than just walking, IMHO. Plus the tunes on the iPod make it fun too! Now I just need to get some new shoes for the season!!! Thanks for the giveaway.

      I quit smoking 1 month ago. And been working out for the past month. I’ve been doing Jillian Michaels “Shred” Dvd. And walking everyday. I will be 52 next week. I don’t care how old you are. It’s never too late. I love Dick’s sporting goods. It’s a great place to get sneakers and work out clothes.

      I discovered last week that we have a Dick’s only minutes from our home. I could only runi n and out for what I needed but it was hard not to stand open mouthed in awe in the middle of the store.

      My Dad had told me how huge it was there, he loves it too.

      Thanks!

      If you are going to run for the first time or the first time in a while for an event, be sure that you are in proper condition to do so. When you’re running on a hard surface like concrete or asphault, it can be easy to injure an ankle or knee or muscle if you do not properly prepare and, on the day of the event, warm up your muscles

      We went to the Grand Opening of a Dick’s Sporting Goods about nine months ago or so. They really did a smooth job of running the event. We were able to find what we wanted, but did not get stuck in long lines since the store had enough employees to help everyone
