Timex is giving away an entry into the New York City Marathon!

I’m a little reluctant to share this info, cuz I’m totes entering this contest myself (and the fewer of you runners who enter, the better my chances!).

Timex is holding a Facebook contest and giving away an entryfor one Canadian to run the 2012 New York City Marathon. If you’re a runner, you know it’s a hard race to nab a spot in. The prize includes flight, hotel accomodations for three nights, the Timex Run Trainer GPS Watch (that’s it above) and an online training program for the marathon.

To enter, all you need to do is go to their Facebook page before August 31st, like it, and then submit your entry (click on Timex Golden Bib Giveaway) as to why you should win. They’ll choose 10 entries randomly and then choose the winner from those 10 based on the merits of the entry essay. You can get full deets on their Facebook page.

So go do it — enter!

(Or, erm, don’t…I want to win that spot!)

The three-minute workout

This weekend I have to run 29k, which will take me about three hours. Three hours! (gulp)

It’s kind of making trying high-intensity training seem way more appealing — new research shows it is possible to improve fitness in just three minutes of exercise a week.

As an aside, we change the clocks this weekend and spring forward — I only mention it as I know I’ve forgotten more than a few times.
