Gypsy Runner Arm Sleeves Giveaway

By , April 24, 2013 5:01 am

***I interrupt this regularly scheduled Utah trip recap week to post a giveaway***

Ha ha ha. Actually, the giveaway is Utah trip inspired. I came across the Gypsy Runner booth at the Salt Lake City Marathon expo on Thursday and went bananas going through all their super cool arm sleeve designs.

Gypsy Runner is based out of Phoenix but they travel all over for expos. They will be at Chicago Rock ‘n’ ‘Roll on July 19 and 20, and at Quad Cities and Akron Marathon expos in September. Check them out!

Anyway, I was very well behaved at the expo. I only bought TWO pairs of arm sleeves. Let me pause and give myself a pat on the back.

Ha ha. Now that that is over…

I talked to the Gypsy Runner owner, Amy, for quite some time on Thursday. She was telling me about the inspiration for their shirts, skirts, leggings, arm sleeves, etc. Sigh. What a fun business to have. Choosing designs for running clothes?! Traveling all over to sell your products and getting to see different parts of the country? Talking to all sorts of interesting people like me?* Okay, I am sure I am glamorizing it. And maybe I was on an arm sleeve high. But I left feeling pretty jazzed and excited about my new sleeves. 

So jazzed, that I didn’t realize until getting back to my hotel that I grabbed a size small instead of a medium! Oops! I went back the next day to exchange them, and Amy was totally cool about letting me do a swap. And luckily, they had a bigger size. Phew!

Another break to pat myself on the back for not buying more arm sleeves during the second trip to the expo! Ha ha.

Anyway, I contacted Amy after the expo to tell her how much I love the sleeves (yes, I have already used them) and to ask if Gypsy Runner would sponsor an arm sleeve giveaway. Obviously… she said yes. Ha ha. Thank you, Amy!

    • kilax says:

      I just got the two sets of arm warmers! There were a lot of other totally cute things, but I have so many tops already I told myself no. LOL.

    P.P.S. Can I get a bonus entry for wearing an orange shirt today?

    • kilax says:

      Ha! Duh. Are you sure you don’t need a large?!

      I measured my bicep last night and we measured my husband’s too… to make sure mine were smaller. They weren’t, for awhile!

      Yes to that bonus entry! But you have to post a selfie of it on my FB wall. 😉

      Thanks, re: the photos! 🙂

  14. Beth says:

    Those arm sleeves are beautiful! I love that so many great companies are springing up to give us awesome things to wear while we’re running. 🙂 I’ll definitely have to check out her booth at Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago. If I got a pair, I’d probably have to go with the Edge Tie Dye print (size S).
