Winner, Winner, PROBARs for Dinner!

September 13, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Actually, more like PROBARs for lunch, but that doesn’t rhyme. Okay.  So remember when I won the RLAM giveaway and I was all excited about getting a box of HALO bars and a box of the PROBAR meal replacement bars?  Well, the HALO bars arrived on my doorstop unaccompanied and I thought maybe I was […]

Friday Five-a-rooni

August 12, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Number 1.  Everything sounds more fun and festive with “a-rooni” attached to it.  It’s a fact, try it.  “What are you doing today?”  “Getting a root canal-a-rooni.”  See? Number 2.  I’m still recovering from last week’s race (and still eating like I’m training for the half-iron I did in May.  Duh.), as evidenced by the […]

A Tale of Two Marathons (and a coupla 5Ks)

March 27, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

It was the best of weather and the worst of weather… Last Sunday dawned with temps in the 40s, pelting rain and 20+ mph winds.  Not exactly the sort of weather a person dreams of running a marathon in, for sure, but IronHubs fought the good fight and finished strong.  Today, we’re basking in the […]

Well, I’ve pulled myself out of my turkey coma long enough to pick another random winner from my “Not Your Average Adventure” virtual race – yay! Gotta put on the hat first.  Apparently that also required me to make a duck face – who knew? I had to choose the winner from my chair because […]

Random Adventure Winner #1

You know how most bloggy giveaways have that little blurb when they announce a winner that the winner must contact them within 48 hours or a new one will be chosen?  Well, I think it took about 48 seconds for Elizabeth @ Canyon Cairns to respond yesterday – I love (and encourage) that sort of […]
