Officially GOOFY

by Elizabeth on January 10, 2012

Just so yall know….I’m officially GOOFY!

Recaps to come soon!  I think my body is worn down and I am trying to fight off a cold so it may take a few days to get them written and posted (and I am waiting on pictures).

In the meantime, a few other updates.

I received this medal in the mail for running the Lousy 5K.  I didn’t participate in a ton of virtual races last year (I am terrible about printing off bibs and remembering to post about it) and this one only required saying you did the run and the money raised went to my favorite charity, LLS.  Pretty sweet.

I also received this AWESOME bag of goodies from Brooks Running.

I have run many Rock ’n’ Roll events but never had to chance to be VIP with Brooks (clean, running water, porta potty).  Since RNR Savannah was close enough to local for Atlanta, I purchased my shoes right before the race and got a sticker to get the VIP entry.  Well, the porta potties were broken that day.  Brooks was pretty awesome and reached out to its customer base and said if you were there, fill out this form–we are sending you an apology.  I didn’t think much about it, filled out the form and then this bag arrived this weekend.  In my opinion, Brooks went above and beyond.  Another VIP sticker for another race, a bag, reflective bands for night running and a winter running cap.  Wow.  I have been running in Brooks for 2 years or so now and will continue (I would anyway-I truly love their shoes).  They really do take care of their customers.  I love their brand.

Who is your favorite running company?  Anybody else race this weekend?

congrats on goofy- that might be one of my "sometime in my life" goals.
Thats awesome brooks went above and beyond- i'm curious… prior to brooks, did you ever run in saucony?!?! I've been in saucony about 1.5 years, love them, but I've heard such great things about brooks that if the two are comparable, i'd be willing to try them. (need a stability shoe based on my running form)

Now that is some serious bling. Congratulations on being officially Goofy!

I don't know that I have a favorite running company, but I currently run in Brooks. This is going to sound weird, but I love how their shoe boxes are printed. And how can you not like a company who's slogan is Run Happy? It's good to hear that that provide great customer service too.

I've been running roads in Asics forever with no desire to change shoes. The only loyalty I have towards shoes is to the ones that don't cause issues!

I do love Brooks running clothing though. They make one of my favorite skorts and I have a bunch of their winter jacket top things. They make really high quality pieces that I find myself reaching for first.

Oh yeah, congrats on Goofy! I hope to do that one in a few years. Will be interesting to read your strategy for tackling both races.
