I wrote about it when I got it, but my marathon necklace remains one of my favorite pieces of jewelry and one that I get so many questions about.
It commemorates one of my life accomplishments I’m most proud of, so it’s a great reminder to have around my neck, especially when things get tough.
My lovely friend Erica just so happens to be the lovely lady who makes these necklaces a reality, and she’d love to share one of her new “Run Like a Girl” necklaces with one of my lucky readers.
From her site: The necklace features a sterling silver tag which I’ve brushed with a satin finished and engraved with “Run Like a Girl” and a 1/2″ gold filled round disc engraved with 26.2, 13.1 or the distance of your choice. (So it’s not just for marathoners or half-marathoners! If you rocked a 5K, this necklace is for you, too!)
So how do you get your hands one on of these? Each method counts as an entry!
This giveaway will be open until 9am EST on June 22! I’ll pick a winner tomorrow! Good luck!

I liked Erica Sara Designs on FB.
I'm so proud of my marathon, but I think my first 10 miler has to be my most proud running moment. It's where I started!
Also - I liked both of your pages on FB!
I already subscribe to your blog, follow you on Twitter and I tweeted!
I'm your contest stalker today! HA Thanks! <3
@Gwen: congrats on your marathon! :)
My greatest accomplishment was training and running a 5K. I have never been a runner. I was always the last to finish when you had to run those dreaded timed mile runs in high school. I made a bucket list of sorts a couple of years ago and that was on the top of the list. At the end of it all I found out that I love to run, especially in the rain! I am not fast by any means but I don't care as long as I finish.
@Tami Foster: that's all that matters! Congrats on your 5k!
I tweeted it!
I haven't run a full marathon yet (January 2012, eek!), but I think I'd get one with 26.2 just to inspire me and help motivate me through training.
@Jess: Which marathon are you running?
Oh and I liked Erica Sara on FB. Such cute stuff!
I started running 2 years ago, decided I was going to do an ultra, and did it last year. :) I was fairly proud of myself, and it's still pretty cool to think I ran 50 miles in one go.
I think that's pretty amazing, too! :) Good job!
My greatest accomplishment was giving birth to my two beautiful children. :) Aside from that, definitely completing my second marathon. I hit the wall very early and barely finished... only thanks to a good friend who jumped in with me.
@Jen Correa: aw :) I love all these comments about people's kids!
I feel like there are so many different areas you can feel accomplished in. Right now, I am most proud of the fact that I removed myself from a very toxic relationship and am picking myself and living life the way I have always wanted to...and running a marathon was pretty cool!
I love all of Erica's pieces. They are the perfect way to commemorate a special accomplishment. I love your necklace...and I would love to win this one!
@Becky: I am proud of you too :)
My greatest achievement? My daughter. Yeah, I could say my marathon, and the fact that I finished it despite two trips to medical tents along the way and immense pain the final two miles...but I think having my daughter made me want to finish in the face of adversity. I want to be a role model to her, and I had to finish. Now I run, and run races and bring her to show her that she can do whatever it is she sets her mond to, and with strength and determination, she can do anything.
