The time has arrived - Giveaway Time!!

I am beyond excited to do this giveaway!  I was somehow lucky enough to get copy from the authors of the new revised edition of Running the Edge Adam Goucher and Tim Catalano!  Besides the fact that you now have the chance to get your hands on a copy before the September 1st official release date, it is also an exclusive signed copy!  Yes, someone is going to totally score!


For those of you who may be less familiar with this book and it's authors, here's a little info:

Olympian Adam Goucher's running career has it's roots in Colorado, where he was a national high school cross country champion and winner of several NCAA track titles.  In 2000, he was on the US Olympic team, for the 5000m distance.  He is married to Olympic runner Kara Goucher and together they live with their son, Colton in Portland, Oregon.

Tim Catalano was teammates with Goucher in college while running with the University of Colorado Buffaloes.  For over 15 years he has worked as a Psychology teacher and coach and has an avid love of running.

They brought together their love of the sport and their combined 40 years of running experience to produce this book.  Running the Edge is not merely a how-to of running, but more a guide to finding greater meaning and depth of daily life through the spirit of running and fitness.


Okay, so here's the scoop, folks:  To enter this giveaway, become a follower of this blog and leave a comment telling me that you did and why you'd love to have this book.  Or head over to my Facebook page and 'like' it and leave a comment letting me know that you did, with your reasons for wanting to win the book.  (You can do both, if you want to!)  Oh, and if you are already a follower of my blog and Facebook page, just leave me a comment telling me and you will be entered into the contest!
