Congratulations to Chrissy of Loving Life! As the lucky winner of this giveaway, Chrissy can select the bracelet or anklet of her choice from Milestones Jewelry!
Thank you to all the ladies who entered this giveaway and tweeted about it, too. 
I am a sucker for sparkly things. If it shimmers or glimmers, chances are it will catch my eye. Perhaps, that’s the real reason behind all my running, because at the end of every race, I am given a shiny bit of bling.
As runners, we challenge ourselves constantly. We always push ourselves a little harder and a little further and sometimes at the end of it all, we are rewarded with a medal, which we can wear proudly. But how likely are you to wear it every day? You can only get away with wearing your marathon medal to grocery store so many times before people begin to think you’re a quack instead of being quick. So, why not celebrate your milestones with some sparkly that you can wear everyday, like a fabulous bracelet or anklet from Milestones Jewelry.
The lovely ladies at Milestones Jewelry want to help celebrate your running achievements with some sparkly bling. One lucky Run DMT reader can win a bracelet or anklet of his/her choice (up $50 value) from Milestones Jewelry. (Don’t judge. Men can totally wear these and play it off too. But, they also make great gifts for that beautiful runner in your life.)
To enter to win, visit Milestones Jewelry and view their selection of bracelets, anklets and all their charm choices. Then, add a comment here stating which piece you would like to win. Please include the style number/name and your preferred size. One lucky winner will be randomly selected on Sunday, August 9.
In addition to this great giveaway, Milestones Jewelry is also offering all Run DMT readers a 10% discount using code. Use the coupon code CLUB at the check-out, but don’t delay! This exclusive deal expires August 9.

With the lack of rain, it’s been really hot here lately and almost unbearable to do anything outside. For Mother’s Day, I would have loved to have spent the day the beach, but I was afraid my DH would spontaneously combust make my day miserable again since he hates the heat.
I would have loved to have gone canoeing, but with swarming love bugs and the heat, I didn’t think anyone could tolerate that combination.
I love extravagant brunch buffets, but I didn’t want to deal with the Mother’s Day mob scene.
Theme parks are fun for Mother’s Day, but we’d have to deal with the whole sun and heat thing plus crowds.
So, what to do?
Of course, a pedicure was at the top of the list and I managed to sneak away for a spell to pamper my piggies.
But instead of a fancy Mother’s Day brunch buffet, I requested a sunset dinner at Hooters. Can you blame a gal for loving their hot wings and ice cold beer?
So Saturday evening, we invited some friends to join us and had a great time hanging out and watching the sunset over the Cotee River.
For breakfast on Mother’s Day, I requested one of Allan’s fabulous veggie omelets, which are better than any concocted at some fancy buffet omelet station and served with his delicious home fries and a side of bacon. Following breakfast, Allan whipped up warm, sticky homemade cinnamon rolls and cafe con leche. It was a breakfast fit for a queen!
Allan and the girls gave me the best presents, too!
Allana even wrote another poem for me.
I have a friend.
Her name is mom.
If I’m afraid, she’ll sing me a song.
I love her and she loves me.
She’s the best there could be.
My mom
My mom
My mom and me.
And to finish Mom’s special day, we visited the new Ikea in Tampa.
So, we beat the heat but didn’t avoid the crowds. No matter! I loved it all!
I hope your day was all you wanted and more.
