Today is a big blog milestone for Running with Miles! I have been writing this blog now for a few years (it will be 4 years in December) and today I hit my 2,000th blog post! I didn’t even realize I was closing in on that number until happened to see that on my dashboard the other day. That works out to being just about 1.5 posts per day – and I have been averaging more like 3 per day over the past year or so which shows that posts have picked up over time! Not being a 200 word per post kind of writer, that equals a lot of written words over the past few years!
Thank you to all of you who have been along for this journey! Thank you to Randy Petersen and BoardingArea for hosting this blog for the last couple of years as well. I have been able to meet and interact with so many more of you as a result of it and you have helped me quite a bit to grow as a writer. I only hope that I have been of some help, and maybe even entertainment, to you as well!
So, to celebrate my 2,000th blog post, I am giving a few things away. I am separating them below as each person can only win one line item:
- Alaska Airlines upgrade certificate (1)
- Alaska Airlines upgrade certificate (1)
- Alaska Airlines upgrade certificate (1)
- Alaska Airlines upgrade certificate (1)
- $50 Amazon Gift Card (1)
- $50 Amazon Gift Card (1)
- $15 iTunes Gift Card (1)
- $15 iTunes Gift Card (1)
- United Club Passes (2)
- United Club Passes (2)
Rules
The rules are pretty simple:
- Giveaway runs through Thursday, August 27th at 11:59PM ET
- You can enter once per day by leaving a comment below (can be about anything but keep the language clean). If you have a preference for a prize, please mention which item you are interested in.
- You can earn an additional entry by following me on Twitter (if you do not already) and sending out a tweet with the hashtag #RwMGiveaway. The tweet can be about anything travel or running.
- I am providing these giveaway items and am the final judge. Winners will be chosen randomly.
Thanks for following along and reading! Please be sure to keep following me as I embark on what will easily be the most difficult/wide “mileage run” ever written about on this blog! Less than two weeks until go time!
Congrats on hitting 2k posts! No better way to celebrate than to help me upgrade my next Alaska flight 😉
Awesome! Congrats!
Thanks for the giveaway.

Congrats on the milestone!
Would love an Alaska upgrade.
The detail in your blog posts stands out. Thanks.

Thanks for efforts thus far, I enjoy reading your blog. Look forward to winning any prize except iTunes!
I’ve gained a lot from your blogs. Thank you!!
Congrats! Amazon gc would be most useful to me.
Really happy for this milestone. You are one of my few subscribed travel blogs because your content is actually unique! I would love to buy some stuff with the Amazon cards so thanks for doing this giveaway. Congrats again!
Congrats, your blog is always a good read and motivational kick-in-the-rear!
Congrats!!!
congrats – you are one of the only blogs I subscribe to. keep up the great work
Preference: $50 Amazon
Even though I no longer am a runner, I am so glad I discovered your blog. You usually have a different twist than other bloggers. Thank you!
I enjoy your blog and congratulations! Would like the amazon gift card.
congrats!
Way to go 2K! Thanks for all your posts.
For me, an Amazon card would be nice.
Baby needs a new iphone case!
Congrats on 2,000 posts! Keep up the good work! I would be very grateful for any prize!
congrats hope to keep on learning more from all the info you share (would prefer itunes/amazon)
Congrats! 2000th post in 4 yrs for a blogger whose every 3rd post is not about ‘pimping’ CC like others is very admirable. Although i came to your blog for CC and FF information, one valuable and insightful tip i learned relates to running. Your ‘non-stop daily run for 1 yr’ idea struck the right chord with me (someone who hates running) and i managed to drag myself to do a 30day non-stop run and i actually did it and was stunned that it worked. So thanks for that !
An Amazon GC would help to line up for the next time a deal on salomon comes up! If not an Itunes GC would do.
thanks
Congrats! Anything but the Alaska upgrade as Alaska doesn’t fly to my city 🙁
Congrats! Hoping for a W here… Running is a blast.
Congrats on your 2000th post. It isn’t easy being a blogger I gave up after 6 months even when it started to pick up. It’s a lot of work and your hard work is paying off. Kudos to you! #amazonGiftcardplease
Congrats!
Amazon gift card, please!
Congrats on reaching your 2000th post! I’d love the amazon gift card. If not, the United passes. =)
Thanks for the contest!
thanks!! would love the Amazon or itunes gift cards — I’m a member of United Club and don’t fly Alaska much.
Congrats. Count me in for the $50 Amazon gift card
wow, congrads!
Keep the good times rollin!

Congratulations! Amazon gift cards are always useful.
Congrats! I would be happy to accept any of the prizes except the Alaska upgrades-I don’t fly Alaska often, so would rather see them go to someone who can use them.
Congrats RwM! I read your posts daily. Keep up the good work. I like the prizes, my preference would be the Alaska upgrade or the United passes. But any prize will do. I wish you continued success with the blog!
If you’re not first, you’re last! Go go gadget Amazon drones.
Read your blog everday.
very prolific. I hope you can keep it up. I’d love to win an Amazon gift card.
Thoroughly enjoy your blogs. Thanks!
Alaska upgrade or United Pass
Impressed by your running – on land AND in the air! Would make good use of either the United or Amazon gifts. Thanks!
Thanks! I’d love anything but the Alaska certs as we don’t fly Alaska much.
Congratulations! I love the blog, especially when I travel overseas. Now I am in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, so I love the connection with the blog and the great info you provide. Thanks also for the giveaway. I would love the United Club passes or the Amazon gift card.
Wow! You’re so generous! How does the Alaska Airlines upgrade certificate work?
Congrats on your 2000th post…the blog is a daily bookmark for me . Keep up the great work!
Amazing milestone. Thanks for the giveaway.
P.S. I don’t fly Alaska.
Congrats, Charlie! Keep up the good work. Most interested in $50 Amazon gift card.
Wow, that’s a lot of words! Thanks for the giveway — I could use the gift cards or club passes.
So many lovely choices–thank you! I wouldn’t mind an Amazon gc.
I’m curious if you see the blog going in same/similar and-or slightly different direction(s), now that you’re at the 2000th post mark!? Amazon GC, thanks.
Thanks for doing this. If I win, anything works.
Love that you combine running and travel–two of my favorite things. Would love anything but the Alaska certs. Thanks!
Cheers! Looking forward to another 2000 posts. (just gift cards please)
Thanks for your generosity! I’d like anything apart from the Alaska Airlines certs (they don’t fly to where I live).
Congrats! I enjoyed reading your posts. Very helpful for a fellow runner and ardent traveller.
Keep up the good work. I live in the Midwest so Alaska doesn’t serve my airport.
Ice those legs, Charlie! All in for United Club passes!
Congrats to our 2000th post! Always enjoying it and hope to see more great posts!
Thanks for the giveaway and could definitely use an Amazon gift card or some United passes : )
Thanks for your insight and generosity. Were I lucky enough to be chosen, my preference would be one of the Amazon gift cards.
Congrats on all your posts!
Great giveaway and congratulations!
Congrats. As a marathon runner and points and miles hobbyist I really enjoy your blog. I’d love to have one of the Alaska upgrade certs but if they expire super quick I’d be better off with one of the other items.
Alaska upgrade…fingers crossed!!
Thanks for the giveaway! And Congrats!
Thanks for hosting the giveaway! Hoping to win!
It’s a rainy day in Oslo. Great day for some online shopping with an Amazon GC? OK, that makes no sense.
Chilly August day in Chicago-brrr.
Thanks for giveaways, hoping for amazon gc.
Congrats! Amazon gift card would be awesome!
Thanks for the 2000+ posts – I may have read them all!
Congrats and thanks for the giveaway! I’d like to win the Amazon gift card to help pay for my daughter’s college textbooks.
Congratulations on your milestone!
Good luck with future running and blogging. Looking forward to reading more. Would love anything but the Alaska certs. Thanks!
Congratulations! Your blog has definitely a unique prospective. I wish I was still a runner now having done 7 marathons in the past. 🙂
I wouldn’t say no to an AS upgrade, either. 😀
Congrats on your 2,000th post!!
Nice milestone. Keep the blog running.
Appreciate the dedication and hard work you put into your blog.
(Sorry I won’t be flying on Alaska anytime soon)
Congrats on the milestone! Love the running aspect of your blog posts (but i’m a runner so I may be biased)…
If I do win, I prefer the Amazon GCs. Cheers!
