Race & Relax Beauty: Krystal Grant

With our first Get Moving! Race & Relax event just days away, we are continuing to highlight some of the lovely participants who will be running or walking and celebrating their accomplishments with us on June 5.

Our next Race & Relax beauty is Krystal Grant. Always a huge supporter of The BlogRollers, Krystal signed on to race with us early and we’re so excited that she did! You can find her at KrystalGrant.com after you read her introduction below.

“After three pregnancies and two C-Sections I’m ready to slim back down to my pre-pregnancy body; and the 5K run is what I need to get my jumpstart. I also have a big trip to Miami planned in October and I’m desperate to wear a bikini. So I figured I better get rid of my flab! I’m excited to see all my blogger buddies and happy to meet new friends. I don’t want to be the girl to pass out and get escorted away in an ambulance so I think I’ll take it slow and just try to make it to the finish line. You can check out my “Bikini Bound” video at: http://wp.me/PFvK4-3L You can also find me on twitter at: www.twitter.com/krystalgrant or join my fan page at: www.facebook.com/KrystalGrantEnterprises”

Thanks, Krystal! We’re so glad to have you and, most importantly, we’re glad that you are moving!

Race & Relax Beauty: Yvette Pollard

With our first Get Moving! Race & Relax event less than two weeks away, we’ve started highlighting some of the lovely participants who will be running or walking and celebrating their accomplishments with us on June 5.

Our next Race & Relax beauty is Yvette Pollard. I’m so excited to share that Yvette launched her first blog last week, Wonder Woman Chronicles, and I invite you all to please stop by and welcome her to the blogosphere! Yvette shared a few words below to introduce herself to the Race & Relax crew.

"Hi all! I'm Yvette Pollard originally from DC but raised in Georgia for most of my life. I am a single mom to 4 awesome kids. Two boys and 2 girls aged 15, 9 and the twins are 7. I am fiercely protective of my kids, as are all parents, but two of my children are Autistic so I am a huge advocate for them and their needs. I am a quasi runner (hard to find the time!), obsessed with tennis and an all around LOST fiend (yes I AM having a problem letting go!!!)."

Thanks, Yvette! We’re so glad to have you, so glad you’ve launched your blog and, most importantly, we’re glad that you are moving!

Race & Relax Beauty: Shannon Pierce

With our first Get Moving! Race & Relax event less than two weeks away, we thought it would be wonderful to highlight some of the lovely participants who will be running or walking and celebrating their accomplishments with us on June 5.

So without further ado our first Race & Relax beauty is Shannon Pierce. Shannon, also know as Shay Shay, blogs at Losing Fat and Winning in Life and shared a few words with us about why she joined the Race & Relax crew.

"I am so excited about Race & Relax! I use to be a self-proclaimed "non-runner," but decided to challenge myself in 2009 to run the ING Half Marathon. While I'm not sure I'll ever do a half marathon again (brutal for Shay Shay, but I can check it off my fitness list-yeah!), I have developed a love for the shorter 5K races. I've challenged myself to do at least one 5K a month. I love 5Ks because I can usually find a few girlfriends to do them with me (not so with half-marathons!). When I heard about Race & Relax I just had to register! This is the perfect event for Shay Shay: 5K (right distance), Brunch (I LOVE Brunch!), Relaxation (who doesn't like to relax?), and hanging with friends and meeting new ones. SWEET!"

Thanks, Shannon! We’re so glad to have you and, most importantly, we’re glad that you are moving!

Congratulations to Our #RaceRelax Contest Winner: Fiona Bryan

Random.org has spoken!

Our Run With Wifey Contest winner is none other than the beautiful 

"Bantering Blonde" Fiona Bryan! 

If you follow Fiona and The BlogRollers, you know she was more than on a mission to win this prize and her relentless perserverance paid off! You may remember that Fiona entered to win our Fourth Wheel Contest last year to roll with us to BlogHer '09 in the Chevy. Talk about a comeback, right? She stacked the Random.org odds in her favor with an impressive 19 entries which included posting about this contest on 10 different social media sites! Come hell or high water, she was rollin' with The BlogRollers!

We are excited to have Fiona with us on our inaugural #RunWifeyRun event and glad that we will help her to continue to reach her fitness goals. Please stop by her Bantering Blonde blog and MomActive sites or give her a congratulatory shout-out on twitter.

A big thanks to all of you who entered the contest. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm about this event as well as your desire to GET MOVING! We want you to know that this is only the beginning of many fun programs we have planned and rest assured there will be more opportunities like this in the future :)
