Off to Disney's other coast! (Giveaway Included)

Tweet

Time is almost up, we are headed to Walt Disney World tomorrow! I still haven't finished packing or organizing everything and I have mere hours left. I think I'm mostly procrastinating because I feel guilty leaving my 2-year-old at home to go to Walt Disney World... the things you do for running!

Last January we went to Disneyland for the Tinkerbell Half Marathon and this weekend we are headed to the Wine and Dine Half Marathon in Disneyworld to complete our Coast to Coast challenge!

Tinkerbell was a lot of fun and I'm very much looking forward to capping off the year with another Disney race. Since then, I have run 14 half marathons, 1 full marathon, and a few other races. It has been a CRAZY year, and I mean that. Running that many races in less than a year is not something I would recommend. I had tons of fun but I am tired. I am really looking forward to running this race, not thinking about my time, just going to have fun and experience all that a Disney race has to offer.

 

I will be running the race and going to Disneyworld with my mother in law (pictured above). This will be her 3rd half marathon. She actually fell during the Tinkerbell Half and dislocated her shoulder, but she still managed to finish the race... faster than me!

When I went to the Tinkerbell expo, I came across this great clothing company called Raw Threads. They have a lot of Disney themed t-shirts as well as several other run-related clothing. I love all of their clothing. Most specifically, I  love their technical fabric, it is very different and much softer than your average technical material. I admit that I have a hard time controlling myself shopping on their website and the expo will be no different, I've got my eye on one of their castle to castle shirts.

I'm wearing one of their shirts in this photo above. Here is my previous review. They have generously offered to giveaway another shirt to a lucky reader on my blog! And because it is the weekend of the Wine and Dine Half Marathon, one lucky winner will receive this wine themed t-shirt:

The giveaway will run until next Wednesday at which point a winner will be chosen and will have 48 hours to respond to my notification.

Raw Threads Review & Giveaway

Tweet

Back in January when I went to the Tinkerbell Half Marathon Expo in Disneyland I visited this awesome booth full of really soft athletic clothing, it was the Raw Threads booth. That was in the early stages of reviving my blog and I hadn't started doing any product reviews, so when I finally started approaching companies I was really hoping that Raw Threads would respond. I couldn't wait to put one of those soft t-shirts on, thankfully they responded and were so generous to send me TWO tshirts!

I've always had trouble finding comfortable technical wear, some I find to be too stiff or it makes me itchy because the moisture-wicking  fabric contains polyester. Well, these t-shirts are totally different than any other athletic t-shirt I've ever had, actually different than ANY t-shirt I've ever had. They are SO soft, the bamboo cotton is breathable and stretchy. I'll admit I've been wearing them other than just to run because I love them that much. They have some really cute designs, especially the Half Marathon/Marathon themed ones, I'll definitely be visiting them again for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon in November. You can check out all the designs on their website here.

Here are a few facts about Raw Threads clothing:
-Bamboo natural fibers
-Anti-odor
-UPF 50+ sun protection
-4-way stretch
-Moisture-wicking
-Regulates core temperature

I wore one of my Raw Threads shirts during my Virtual Jelly Bean Half Marathon on Saturday and it felt great. I wasn't too hot, I felt relatively dry and I think I looked pretty awesome out there LOL.

-please note that Raw Threads sent me only the product and is not paying me for this review, it is purely based on my own experience with the product-
