Running Divas You Made My Day!

I am such a happy woman today!

We went to our marina town to check on the boat... she sits fairly neglected during the winter months so I packed us a lunch and off we went.  It is a beautiful, sunny day and it is always nice to be at the marina when the weather is good.  We did a bit of cleaning and had our lunch on board, and then stopped to check our mail box before coming back to the house.

There was a parcel from Running Divas in the mail box and I was so excited because I knew what would be inside... and I was not disappointed!

I could hardly wait to get back to the house and put on this beautiful shirt.

And doesn't it go great with my baggy old Eddie Bauer jeans too?


Here is the story...

Several weeks ago I entered and was the lucky winner of a giveaway hosted by Jenn's Adventures.  The prize was a Running Divas shirt of my choice.  I quickly selected this gorgeous long-sleeved aqua shirt and waited....

When my package arrived, I was happily surprised to find 2 shirts inside... one long-sleeved black one and one short-sleeved aqua one.  I realized that they likely didn't  have the shirt that I wanted in stock, so they tried to fill my request as best they could... and although I really liked both of those shirts and I do wear them regularly, I was kinda disappointed.  Aqua is my color and I was so looking forward to having the long-sleeved aqua shirt for my half marathon training runs. 

So, I waited for a couple of weeks, and then I sent an email note to Running Divas to say thank you for making the effort to fulfill my request, but letting them know I would still like to have the long-sleeved aqua shirt.... and lo and behold, much to my delight, they offered to send it to me.

And here it is!

These Running Divas shirts are made of the softest microfiber.  They wash up beautifully and dry quickly.  And the long-sleeved shirts have really long sleeves.  I am 5 feet 11 inches tall and normally cannot get a shirt with long enough sleeves... but just look at these pictures to see how well my wrists are covered... this is so important to me when the weather is cool.

Thanks so much to Running Divas for making my day!

You can be a Running Diva too... check out their website to find out if there is a retail outlet carrying their products in your area, or buy online.
