Michigan runners know how to embrace winter…and we also know how to celebrate spring. And if this week’s forecast is any indication — mid- to upper-40s, even 50s! — I’d say we have a party on our hands. Get ready to shed some layers, friends. It’s going to feel downright tropical during our runs. Speaking of tropical, some of you may be eyeing a spring break getaway on your horizon, which leads me to a special announcement about a runner giveaway …

You’ll notice in the photo above TWO new Michigan Runner Girl items, the first being a soft lifestyle t-shirt and the second being an MRG charm. The t-shirt, available in grey and purple, is now available at the MRG online store while the charm, which is handmade right here in Michigan, soon will be available. (I personally can’t wait to wear mine during the Boston Marathon as my good luck charm.)
I’d like to give away one of these brand-new charms to one lucky reader, and here’s how it’ll work:
1.) snap a pic of you wearing an MRG clothing item during your spring break (could be the new tee or perhaps an MRG hoodie you already own) and either send it to me (email me at michiganrunnergirl [at] gmail [dot] com) or, if you’re on Instagram, post it with the hashtag #michiganrunnergirl [Note: whether you’re taking a stay-cation or you’re traveling somewhere far-flung and exotic (or someplace in between), any and all photos are welcomed!]
2.) you’ll be entered to win the new MRG charm.
3.) one winner will be announced here on the blog the week of April 13, 2015.
Good luck, everyone! Enjoy the spectacular spring weather!
