The Ultimate "Minnesota Nice" Giveaway

There is a term used to describe Minnesotans called "Minnesota Nice."  In general, we Minnesotans tend to be courteous, mild-mannered (heck, Minnesota drivers are known for slowing down to let cars that are on the on-ramp merge in front of them), and reserved.  This can lead to a state of passive-aggressiveness for some folks, but for the most part, Minnesotans like to lend a hand without a lot of pomp and circumstance.

I thought I'd be "Minnesota Nice" and do a giveaway for you lovely readers.  I appreciate the time you all take to read my blog and post comments.  Thank you for your support!  This giveaway could also be considered a Minnesota-themed giveaway because the products you have the chance to win are either made here in Minnesota or have something to do with Minnesota.

So dear readers, without further ado, here is what one of you lucky people will win:

A Toyota Venza drawstring bag, courtesy of a race sponsored by Lifetime Fitness, based in Chanhassen, MN:

Three Minnesota-made snacks:

Old Dutch potato chips and Pearson's Salted Nut Rolls are standard post-race fare at Minnesota races.

Two pairs of Fitsok, which I believe are the best running socks in the world.  I've never had a blister wearing them.  The pair on the left is size large and was one of the items I received from participating in the Twin Cities in Motion focus group.  The pair on the right is size medium and was purchased by me from Marathon Sports in Minneapolis.

I wear a size 8 shoe and fit in Fitsok medium socks

Lip balm that came in my race kit from the Stillwater 10K:

Don't worry... it hasn't been opened yet!

A Minneapolis Marathon t-shirt (unisex size small) and hat, courtesy of Team Ortho Foundation (and the number of hours I spent volunteering for the race):

A Medtronic TC 1 Mile shirt (Brooks podium technical shirt, unisex size medium--they run big!), another gift from the Twin Cities in Motion focus group:

Finally, your choice of one of three necklaces that I made:

"Live" necklace

Sunflower necklace
