Day 2 of 12 Days of Carlee's Christmas

Thanks so much for stopping by CarleeMcDot.com today. Whether you've been following along on my journey since I started this blog TEN YEARS AGO or you stopped by for the first time today - WELCOME!

And no matter how long you've been visiting, you picked an AMAZING time to pop in because we're celebrating my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas {read my post announcing this series HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about}.


Today is Day 2 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series because they are just that AWESOMESAUCE.

Up for grabs today are: 2 Run With Perseverance Tanks.


For today, DAY TWO, two winners will be selected, each winning a Run With Perseverance tank top of their choice.

If you follow me on social media, then you have definitely seen my love for these tanks! Quick back-story: I stumbled across Kathy's Etsy shop years ago when I first started running and put one of her tanks on my Christmas list (which I received from my sister-in-law and ended up wearing for the 2013 Walt Disney World Princess Half Marathon).

Me and my sister-in-law before the race (we met in Florida to run together; she lives in Michigan and I live in California)

Shortly after that I contacted Kathy about possibly teaming up for a giveaway on my blog and the rest is history! Legit, the majority of the tanks in my closet are from Run With Perseverance. Not only are they super cute (with some awesome sayings), but they work great in the SoCal heat (that is when I'm not a member of the #SportsBraSquad ;)).

I was NOT exaggerating... This is just a small handful of the recent pictures in Run With Perseverance tanks I have on my phone

Entering this giveaway (along with the other #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas giveaways) is easy-peasy! Simply use the Rafflecopter widget listed below on the giveaway blog post and cross your fingers. Some entries are available daily so I'd HIGHLY recommend entering early and often. (Shoot, I would even go as far as suggesting you set an alarm to remind you to come back to this page every 24 hours so you can take advantage of as many entries as possible!)

Now, the nitty gritty details... All entries are verified, so please make sure to do whatever the required action for the entry is or it will be disqualified. I would hate for you to miss out on winning due to a technicality, so if you are going to click the option, make sure you do whatever it asks or a new, random winner will be selected in your place.

Also, this giveaway will last seven days, with the winners being picked (and notified) on the eighth day. The winners will have 24 hours to reply to the congratulations email from me to claim their prize. That means, for this giveaway, it will end on December 8th at 11:59pm PST and the TWO winners will be chosen on December 9th.


And, finally, the winners must have a US mailing address. International shipping seems to cost an arm and a leg these days, and customs is a major headache, so to make it easier (and cheaper) on the brands who have offered up their products, the winners must live in United States of America (or at least have an address we can ship to within the US).

With that said, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERS! And don't forget to stop back tomorrow to see what is up next in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas (I promise you do NOT want to miss out on any of these giveaways!)!

PS Just in case you aren't one of the TWO lucky winners, you can use code "CHRISTMAS10" for 10% off your order (because EVERYONE is a WINNER in my book)! So go get your shop on and save a few dollars in the process!

  26. My running mantra is "Keep moving forward", which is from an old Walt Disney quote. "Around here, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

    I am a Disney obsessive and use that quote for the majority of my life (I have it tattooed along with a Steamboat Willie!), but it really fits with running as I spent my entire life hating running until the last several years. Then once I kept moving forward, I realized that I really enjoyed it. Keeps me motivated!

  34. Most recently my mantra has been "when your legs get tired, run with your heart". I have had some races lately that I really wanted to PR, and knew I could, but had to quiet my mind that was focused on the discomfort in my legs! The mantra seemed to work to give me that extra push to hit my goals.
