Zombie Run Giveaway!

Later this month we will be kicking off our Health & Fitness week!  But, to get us excited for this event we have a special post this afternoon from one of our new state reps, Megan, who works for the Zombie Run!  

When I moved to Baltimore it was for a job. This wasn’t just ANY job, it was my dream job. Traveling, event planning, and ZOMBIES! I worked for Reed Street Productions as the Registration Coordinator for a 5K Obstacle Race called Run For Your Lives. For over a year I was traveling to a new city each week, setting up the race, running my area on race day, tearing down the race and heading home to prep for the next one. But eventually RSP closed their doors and another race company bought the idea. Run For Your Lives is now called The Zombie Run and is being put on by the great Human Movement Management. One of my best friends from RSP went to work the company and is the event manager for The Zombie Run Series.

The Zombie Run is offering two different types of races: one during the day and one at night! Check out the links below for more information:

The Zombie Run Extreme

The Zombie Run Black-Ops

The Zombie Run will be in the Baltimore/DC area on Saturday April 26th at High Point Farms in Clarksburg. Check out THIS page for more information!

I will be there with the coveted Media Badge around my neck  getting all the insider information to report back to you but I want to see some familiar faces! Well Jon and the kind people of HMM have provided me with TWO free race entries to give away! Click the link below to enter the giveaway! If that’s not enough- just for entering you will be given a $20 off code for your Baltimore/DC entry fee!

The giveaway will be open until Friday March 14th so be sure to stop back by on Monday March 17th to find out who won the free tickets!

Please head over to Megan's blog Soup of the Day, to enter her GIVEAWAY and learn more about the Zombie Run with a little video!

Pin Committee 2.0

Thanks to those of you who have been following along and linking up with our Pin Committee each week!  We have decided to move to the Pin Committee link up to our Facebook group, starting this week.

So hop on over to the Facebook group and join the fun there!  

 

And please keep the following guidelines in mind:

1. Link up directly to your pin that you want repinned.

2. If you link up a pin, please re-pin at least 5 others in the link up (meaning you might have to check back later to get to 5)

3. Links that are not directly to the pin, and links to other things unrelated to the pinterest link up will be removed from the linkup.  The idea behind the Pin Committee is to gain more repins on your pinnable content.

On that note- what is "pinnable content?"  We'd all love to see more traffic to our blogs, but not all blog posts fit into the pinnable category.  For example, my post on my family trip to the beach has a lot of cute pictures of my son at the beach, but doesn't give the reader any information that they might find useful, besides what I did at the beach.  This is not a pinnable post.

Examples of pinnable posts include: recipes, how-tos, crafts, activities, tips, fashion, or guides.  A good trick is to think "does this post contain information others might find useful?"

Thanks everyone & see you over at Facebook for the link up!  Please let us know if you have any questions about this!
