For reasons not really worth discussing right now, Adidas sent me a free shirt. It is a great shirt. I know, because I already have the exact one. Even the same color. So, I'm giving it away. If you would like a blue Mens medium Adidas shirt, just leave me a comment about the worst running gift you've ever received.*
I know. I know. A giveaway that excludes so many based on gender? Well, I'm sorry ladies, they didn't send me a free Womens shirt. But there has to be someone you know and love who may like this gift and therefore warrants your participation.
Winner will be randomly drawn out of a hat by the Redhead.

Running related: this is my last week before taper begins. Which means this is my last long run of 20M+. I'm nervous. I'm planning on 23M. The last two 20M runs have been average (read, I fell apart during the last seven miles). I'd like to have a decent run before taper.
Additionally, I'm just not sure if I should go back to the 'Hills of Death' course, or run the equally challenging 'Tomato Hill' run. If you want, feel free to influence me. A vote for either course will count as an entry if you are lucky enough to have never received some running related piece of crap.
*To past winners of my giveaways. If you have the audacity to suggest that anything I sent you qualifies I will laugh and then send spoiled cookies to your home...I still have your address.

I love the week of the "last long run"...kind of like my 2nd to last 800 on track day. I know that 1 more and we can relax....
I don't know if I've ever received a running related gift... oh wait, I got a pair of socks for Christmas, but I actually like them. hmmm.
Anyway, I don't know what 'Tomato Hill' is but I'd choose that course to change it up a bit from your last long run. That's my 2 cents.
Worst running gift was hands down a Nike + Sportband pedometer. Why would I fuss with calibrating that device when I have my trusty Garmin...hmm?
I say "Hills of Death"....
dear redhead,
please pick me out of a hat so i can give this to my newly running bf.
is it fair to say I have never received a bad running gift? i really don't think i have. anything running is good in my book.
Do the crappy shirts you get at most 5Ks count as running gifts? If so, most of those qualify.
Oh and I think you should leave the chicks outta this drawing. Theres like 85474 chick bloggers for every 1 guy blogger, so give the dudes a break :D
You made Adidas bow to your will. That is impressive.
Or, maybe you just bitched and moaned so much they threw a shirt at you to make you shut UP about it already.
I vote for Tomato Hill because I like tomatoes better than death.
I vote for hills of death, because I know your a beast and you will ROCK IT! Cant wait to see you guys in a week! Its been too long since stuffed shell night!

THIS IS THE WORST giveaway schwag I ever received. I LOVE this contest if only to show you the pic!!!
Pick me!!
Did Adidas buy you out for a lousy shirt? Is that all it took to get you to stop ragging on their gear? You should have at least held out for an embroidered Boston jacket instead of a screen printed one.
Can't say I have ever gotten a bad running gift.
However, the worst present I ever received was when I turned 8 (2nd grade). I wanted bike. Instead, I got a piano. And with that piano? 6 years or dreadfully horrible piano lessons.
i never received a running gift- but the worst gift I ever received was a waffle maker@@ arent gifts supposed to not involve work!

Thanks for this splendid giveaway
So... you keep spoiled cookies around?
hahahahaha, all I can do is laugh at this giveaway. For some reason, it's hilarious to me! :-) Unfortunately, my hubs is a large so I won't be bullying other readers for the shirt.
Good luck this weekend! I think you will do awesome. Will you have good weather?
Tomato Hill is more appropriate for the promise of spring that is just around the corner (I hope).
I dont know of the Tomato Hill run, but the Hills of Death run is just begging to be redeemed.
I could run it with you even...well, probably only to the freeway, and then I will be too tired to run back.
So maybe you could carry my bike for me the first half, and then I could ride back with you while you run the second half.
Just think how much easier it will be not carrying a bike. You will sub the second half for sure.
Redemption!
It seems to me that THIS would be the world's worst running gift ever received.
