There aren’t many energy/protein bars that I like enough to spend my money on. But I have a pretty serious love affair with Marathon Bar products.

Their crunchy dark chocolate energy bar is my absolute favorite and is becoming one of my go-to long run fuels. I just add a little crunchy peanut butter and I’m good to go (plus, they’re quick and easy to grab when you’re running late in the morning – at least from what I’ve heard, I don’t know from experience, of course ).

And recently I received some baller gear from Marathon, along with a HUGE supply of energy and protein bars!

Besides an awesome product, the company also spreads a great message. And right now they’re promoting the MARATHON Bar Pledge. It’s a sweepstake they’re running on Facebook, awarding prizes such as training gear, Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series race entries (seriously cool!), and MARATHON Bar products. To enter, all you have to do is visit the MARATHON Bar Pledge tab at Facebook.com/marathonbar and submit a Pledge telling them how you ROCK ON for your health! Each week you take the Pledge, you’ll be entered for a chance to win, with a new winner each week through the end of the sweepstakes on 8/13/2012.

So easy (took me less than a minute!), so inspiring, and so totally awesome. I love a company that supports healthy living and encourages people to move. It’s what I try to teach C every day!

But you can also win some goodies right here!

Two way to win:

1. Leave me a comment. Tell me your favorite pre-workout fuel!
2. Tweet: “I want to win the awesome @marathonbars giveaway from @heatha262. You should, too! http://tinyurl.com/7d8dyz2″ And leave me a comment letting me know you did.

You have until Sunday at 6:00pm to enter. Good luck!

Please note that Marathon provided me with these goodies free of charge, but all opinions are 100% my own (like always).
