If we are Facebook friends you saw it there first, and then I tweeted it and now in all officiality (yep made that word up) I am blogging about it. I was chosen to be an official blogger for the Cleveland Marathon…..again!! My guess is they asked me to do it again due to all my crazy pictures, excessive pictures (some people are too busy running to actually read, right?), excessive use of exclamations and love of the Cleveland Marathon. There are a couple different bloggers this year so don’t forget to check them all out. Some blogged for the marathon last year and some are new, but all are awesome and you can check them out here.
You might think I am really lazy by leaving the 2011 badge up but I really like it and am not ready to take it down. Blog Badge Hoarder, new trend in 2012 I swear.
I have been running the Cleveland Marathon races every year since 2008 and I don’t see myself ever not running it. I have been known to skip bachelorette parties, leave weddings/birthday parties/family events early, and plan vacations around The Cleveland Marathon. (I really hope those people don’t read this blog…pretty sure they do). This year I am running the full marathon again and have a big PR in mind, I will blog about that later 🙂
If you are looking for a good reason to run the Cleveland Marathon this year how about because it is on the top 12 Endurance Events to do in 2012, or how about because I am on some of their ads this year (#thelogo) or how about because if you register early you save money and get a head start on your training! Marathoners, if you register before January 6th you get a free early bird gift!
Now while I am really excited to tell you more about the Cleveland Marathon I am even more excited that I have a giveaway for you!!!!!! One lucky reader is going to get free entry into one of the Cleveland Marathon races.

Want to run the marathon as a post-Boston fun run! Hubby has been sidelined by injury and this is his goal race. I would really like to run with him and cheer him on (and I really really need the entry since I will be broke after Boston!)
Following on you and Cleveland Marathon on Twitter AND liked on FB. A prize marathon entry would totally make my day!! Hubby entered marathon today!
If I win this, I’d make it my first half marathon- EVER!
@lillypea has been following @mojamala2 🙂

I want to run the half this year – because I am not crazy about training for a marathon AND planning a wedding AND coaching lacrosse. Plus I absolutely HATED the second half of the course…yep, I’m conceding that the west side is the best side on this one.
and I obviously already follow you 🙂
I want to run the marathon again this year! I follow your blog and like the Cleveland marathon on FB. This will be my 22nd year for running Cleveland, one distance or another and I’ve paid every other year, so a free entry will be great! — Joe
