Pace Out Tank Giveaway
| November 6, 2012 | Posted by Madeline @ Food, Fitness, and Family under Fashion, FitGear, GIveaway |
*This giveaway is now CLOSED. Thank you to everyone who entered!
Before getting to the super awesome giveaway I have for you guys today, I have a couple PSA announcements. As you know, today is November 6 which means it’s Election Day. Regardless of your political preference (we don’t talk politics here) it is important to exercise your right to vote. Is one of the most fundamental parts of being an American. This year particularly every single vote matters. DO IT.
Second, one of my fellow FitFluential Ambassadors, Jen, lost everything in hurricane Sandy. She and her husband have two small children. Ashley set up an awesome Target registry for them to help start the rebuilding process. If you are wanting to help in Sandy’s aftermath and don’t know where to start, start with this family. Find the details HERE.
On to the giveaway …. Have you noticed my awesome tank top that has popped up on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram? The sweet pink one with PACEout on the front? The owner of Pace Out, Tara, gave me one of her tanks to try out last month and I have to tell you I LOVE it.
This tank top is SO comfortable. It is made from a bamboo/cotton/spandex blend that is designed to wick moisture. It definitely does that. No matter how sweaty I am during a workout, this tank wicks it up and I never feel water logged. Additionally, it is so soft that I want to cuddle up in it and take a nap. I could probably live in this tank top and feel fine. At this point I have put it through the wringer having worn it for yoga, the Army Ten Miler, and the Rock-N-Roll Savannah Half. It didn’t let me down once.
Beyond that awesomeness of the tank itself is the company. Since they are local to Savannah (Richmond Hill), I had the pleasure of meeting with the owner Tara over chai lattes. The Pace Out philosophy is simple: pick your pace. stick to it. you’ll finish. Set a goal and GO GET IT. Be proud of YOUR pace and know that with dedication you’ll achieve your goals. Tara is a bundle of energy with amazing ideas for this upstart company. They are getting quite the following here in RH and I seriously hope they do nationwide. It’s not every day that you find brands that you LOVE their products and their brand philosophy equally. You can see more about Pace Out and learn about the motivators of the week on their Facebook page.
Have I mentioned yet how awesome Tara and Pace Out is? Well they are about to get awesome-er. Tara is giving away a bamboo racerback Pace Out tank like the one I got to one lucky Food, Fitness, and Family reader. You can enter through the RaffleCopter widget below!
Giveaway is open to residents of the US and Canada. It will start November 6 and go to November 13. Winner will be announced Monday, November 14 on the blog. Winner has 3 days to claim their prize before a new winner is chosen.
Good luck!

I apply pace out to my life by sticking to my pace plan 3:1 and not giving up on that. It was hard sometimes to force myself to walk during my last half, but I knew it would be better for me in the end.

I use their philosophy in every goal I set in life- fitness related or not. Go big or go home!

I love that it has bamboo in it and am totally interested to see what that would be like to have as a workout top!!! Pretty awesome stuff!

I think the most important part about the whole philosophy is sticking to it! Sometimes that can be the hardest part and that’s where I really focus my determination!

I apply PaceOut’s philosophy because as a recovering cancer patient I know that overdoing my workouts will negatively affect my progress! However, it’s also a philosophy that motivates and inspires me to finish and accomplish my goals — at MY own pace!
I apply the pace out philosophy by giving my all every time!
I am a new Half Fanatic, to earn this I ran 3 Halfs in 36 days, knowing that I just needed to finish, and not worried about finishing well, I still managed to PR at my 2nd and then my 3rd Half. I didn’t give up, I pushed on!
kim prytherch recently posted..Hurricane Sandy:Afterwards….Voting, and some running
I apply the philosophy to myself by running at MY pace…not trying to beat anyone other than myself. (fellow GA girl here, too! Was just in Savannah a couple of weekends ago)

I was sold at Bamboo!
I love that PaceOut is about individual best- that really stood out to me. I try and not compare myself, but it is hard!
Great philosophy!
Cute tank…I love racer backs!

I apply the philosophy in my running by running for me and at my own pace…even though it is slow to a lot of people it helps me be successful. Such a cute tank!!!
Mindy @ Road Runner Girl recently posted..Run Pink
I apply this philosophy to my life everyday. As a 24-year-old semi-recent grad, I am still figuring out my career path in life. A lot of my friends are already somewhat established in their careers, but I have to remind myself that I need to go at my own pace, and not worry about anyone else’s!
Love that site! I love weightlifting but struggle with running. I always have to remind myself when I run that it is not about how fast I go (because I am far from it!) but it matters that I can complete the run distance as planned, or the race that I signed up for. I have my first 10k coming up later this month and must keep that in mind!!
Jennifer recently posted..Two running milestones!!
What a great philosophy. I’ve been focusing on something similar mantra lately – own your own journey. We’re all individuals and we need to focus on what’s important for ourselves, our life and our families – not only in comparison to others.
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf recently posted..Blogoversary and Erica Sara Giveaway!
Love the tank! It looks really comfy, and of course I’m usually down with pink.
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers recently posted..Shake up the Routine
Love that they want you to find your own pace and kill it!
I always try to do what works for me!
Presley @ Run Pretty recently posted..Ab Flab and Other Randomness
I think their philosophy is a smart thing to abide by – especially while racing. Sometimes in a race you can get caught up with PR’s and trying to pass and stay with people. What it’s really all about is what you can do and what you’re capable of.
I apply a good pace and don’t push too hard to quickly so I can sustain the intensity throughout the workout

How exciting! I realized the other day that I know Tara from work I used to do with RH Chamber Ambassadors, glad to support a local company
I love the tank! Would work perfectly under running shirts this winter and looks perfect for summer!
Sometimes I get really down on myself because I’m not exactly speedy, but then I have to remember that my pace works for ME and every mile counts.
When we run the the park and back- three times a day with the stroller I keep track with hitting certain visual milestones to keep an even pace.
Holly Marie recently posted..Change of Season: Fall
Love it!! I definitely run my own pace, no matter if it’s slow or fast, because I know that at least I’m running.
Chantal recently posted..Review Week: Xlear SparX Candy
I apply this philosophy by focusing on MY RACE when running. I know what my goals are and I’m not going to be distracted or discouraged by the race others are running.
Kate @KateMovingForward recently posted..Winner, Workouts, Hair, Vote!
I try to live this this in every aspect of my life…one step at a time. Anything can overwhelm you if you think of the entire journey but if you just take the best next step you can, you quickly find yourself making progress you can be proud of.
I love the brand’s philosophy. Pacing yourself is super important during races and in life!

Ohhh, so excited. I’d love to win that tank!
Crystal recently posted..I Won!
I just realized I didn’t answer the question, whoops! The company’s philosophy actually lines up with my personal views. It’s not about how fast you go, it’s about the journey along the way. It’s about improving, no matter how fast you are.
Crystal recently posted..I Won!
I set my own pace every day, depending on what things have influenced the day. I just keep going, no matter the pace
Oops, I didn’t leave a comment on the rafflecopter. I set my own pace everyday! Sometimes it’s b*lls to the wall and sometimes it’s slow and steady. If I try to go at someone’s else pace I usually end up failing.
I love that their philosophy is about setting and aspiring towards goals! I definitely set goals for myself, and try to achieve them!
Push myself while also making sure to listen to my body.
What a great tank with an important message. As a slow runner it’s easy to think I’m not really doing good because I’m not racing super fast but I’m still running and I’m pacing myself.
Erin @ Girl Gone Veggie recently posted..28
I would love this tank and it is such a great message! I try to crossfit 3-5 days per week!
Very cute! Saw you wearing it at ATM!
by trying to take things day by day (by day)
I have really been focusing on what I can do and less comparison to what others are achieving. I like how it’s about each person’s goals individually because at the end of the day you have only yourself to please!
I just had a baby and haven’t started working out again, yet. But my plan is to set a very manageable goal and take my time getting back into the swing of things!
I enjoy your blog and love the tank!
Love this company’s mantra. I think it can be applied to all aspects of life – set a goal and stick with it!

Love this!! Super proud of my 2:29 first half time and I want to work to make it faster! Cant wait to see you
My Pace Out philosophy is not comparing my pace to anybody else’s pace. This means in running, in life, in health. I’m working on my fit and healthy lifestyle day by day and I keep getting better every single day. I do it little by little and I don’t rush just to try to catch up to anybody else’s idea of fit or healthy. LOVE the shirt!
Awesome shirt! To me, that means stop comparing yourself to others, just do your best, and that’s all that matters!

finding a pace is what I live for when running! I would much rather run the whole pace at a good speed for me than run fast and then have to walk! great company!
Danielle @ Itsaharleyyylife recently posted..National Eating Healthy Day
That philosophy speaks to me for sure right now as I am training for a half-marathon that requires you to maintain a specific pace!
Holly @ Mama Bear Blogs recently posted..Running On Empty
Super cute tank. Cool that it’s made with bamboo too.
Katrina recently posted..Firebrand Sports is coming PDX | Get ready!
That tank is SUPER Cute. Their philosophy ties right in with me, I’m not the fastest runner around but I’m going to finish. Pace is important to all of that.
Renee @BendifulBlog recently posted..There once was a girl…
Finding the pace that works for you to be happy to continue running and what makes running fun is always the best pace for you. Not everyone is an Elite runner. I may be super jealous of all the sub 8 minute mile girls out there that are killing me do my young age–but I know my body cannot handle that pace. Every time I increase my pace, I injure myself so I have to learn and be ok with slowly becoming faster.

I actually really want to win this shirt for my friend! She’s so amazing and the philosophy is such a part of her life! She actually just finally did a full marathon – The Marine Corp Marathon! I knew she could do it and she did!!! So proud of her. She’s such an inspiration and I’m trying to incorporate the way she lives into my life!

I try to keep pace with my 1 year old everyday! In addition to being a mom, I work full time and so fitting in time for exercise is a huge challenge. New workout clothes are great motivation
I recently purchased the long sleeve bamboo shirt from PaceOut and LOVE. IT. I could live in it in cold weather. Now I just need to win the tank and I’ll be set year round.
Oh yeah – and I keep pace by taking it one day at a time!

That exact pink tank just went the distance with me during my first marathon this past weekend! It made me super fast!! Seriously, sub 4 hours and I felt great. Tara is awesome and I couldn’t be happier to see you love her too!!
April recently posted..2012 Savannah Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon
as much as i would LOVE to run faster, that isn’t always an option, i get a great massive migrain when i run too hard, SO, running 3:1′s has helped me so much with this!! and my time hasn’t really gotten worse from it.
saw yall at the mudrun– love the concept of going your own pace!
I apply the pace out philosophy by setting achievable, yet challenging goals for myself and not giving up until they’ve been met. And once those goals are met, I plan another goal! Thanks for the giveaway!
I run for me!
And against me.
I try to set realistic goals for myself, so I’m never disappointed and always going at my pace!
I live one day at a time!
