Picking A New Winner!!

Well as I stated in a Facebook post, I have not been able to get a hold of the lucky person who won the FREE  +Spartan Race  code. So as promised I am going to enter everyone in again and draw another name. I am posting this post on the My Newfangledness blog and the other social networking sites tonight. I am going to give anybody that wants their name entered into the raffle, tonight and tomorrow to get back in the action. I will then have the results posted by either Monday evening of 6/17 or the morning of Tuesday 6/18. 

Again this code is good for ANY Spartan Race that the winner chooses. Plus don't forget I have a link to share with all that area interested that can get you 15% off any Spartan Race of your choice as well. Don't miss out on this awesome opportunity and please feel free to share with any family and friends.  

I will be posting this same thing on Facebook and Twitter. I had a great response on Facebook because of this giveaway, but only the people that left the comments on the blog got entered. So I would like to give them the chance to do that as well. Please make sure I have a link to your blog, Facebook page, email or whatever. So that if you are the lucky winner, you will not miss out :)

Thanks Again,

Cassi 

The Spartan Free Race Code Winner is...

hdawgy!! Congratulations and thank you for showing your support to My Newfangledness  and also to the +Spartan Race  and the inspirations they set for people.

Not only have they offered to sponsor this giveaway of the free race code. But they have given me a link to share, that will give 15% off any Spartan Race. Anybody that is interested, just start following the My Newfangledness blog and leave a comment under the most recent post that you are following and an email that I can send you the link :) Spread the word as well to friends and family about My Newfangledness blog and my blog URL  http://mynewfangledness.blogspot.com  so they can check it out and if they follow same applies to them and the race code.


This giveaway would have never happened if it was not for Dan Krueger from the +Spartan Race who trusted me to help spread the word about these amazing races. Please click on the Spartan Race link that I have added in this post, and explore their site. These are not only races, but they are very inspiring.
I know that My Newfangledness leans more on the DIY/Craft side. But there is one big goal I have and that is to inspire others, in anyway. Spartan inspires me and my family, and I wanted to share that with everybody out there. I am very honored that they asked me to help spread the word for them, and would do it again in a heart beat. This quote in the picture says it all, and reminds me that in this world of blogging and shooting to have my own business. That if I do not prepare myself for the ups and downs of how to make it all work, then I will fail. 

My husband and three girls will be running again in another race in Utah. So in a month or so, I hope to share their experience with everybody, but to also share stories of the others.

What is Reebok Spartan Race?

Earlier this year my husband had the opportunity to be apart of the Arizona Spartan Sprint. He was so jazzed up and excited to run in this race and I could not figure out why. So I got on the computer and went to +YouTube  and Google searched this +Spartan Race. As I went through some of the pictures and videos that had been posted, I sat there and was amazed at how inspiring this race is. +Spartan Race is not just a "race," they challenge you with different obstacles.  These could include anything from crawling under wire, jumping through fire, climbing walls, or having a chance to fend off a gladiator to cross the finish  line. I was unable to attend my husbands race, but received this text a few hours later. 


 

After getting this picture I was beyond excited to hear about the race and the different obstacles. He got home and told me all the different challenges and how much fun he had. But I will always remember the one thing he was most touched by. The fact that the +Spartan Race was not just any race. He said the race was almost designed and molded to encourage men,women, and children, that you if you set your mind to accomplish something, you can do it. There were the athletic people, people that were there just to have fun, people running as a team for a cause, and people just trying to take on a new challenge.

I was very honored to receive an e-mail from one of the +Spartan Race media team members, asking if "My Newfangledness" would like to take part in helping spread the word of the upcoming races. They are sponsoring a "My Newfangledness" giveaway for hitting a 100 "Likes" on Facebook, by offering a race code that will allow the winner the opportunity to enter any Spartan race for free. This is a great opportunity to try something new, and to be inspired by this company like I am. 

There are many links on my blog and I will also be adding links on Facebook, Twitter Etc. that will take you to the +Spartan Race  site, so you will be able to read more about their goals, check out the race calendar, etc... 

As far as the giveaway, to enter just join the My Newfangledness site ( The box off to the left), leave a comment under this post letting me know you joined and are following the site, and the best way to get a hold of you if you are the WINNER!! and don't forget to spread the word :)

Good Luck, I am looking forward to giving this code away and hope you all share the same excitement. A very big Thank You to +Spartan Race for offering to sponsor the "My Newfangledness" giveaway. 

Cassi
