It’s definitely time for another giveaway. Given Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, it only seems right to show you some lovin’. But, it would seem sorta awkward to give you a present and not also give the person you love (or, at least kinda-sorta-like) a present as well. No?
Thus, I’ll be giving away two units as part of this giveaway – one for each of you. It’ll be like a couples giveaway, though you need not be a couple to enter or win. I’m sure everyone can find a loving friend that is worthy of a new GPS device (or similar). If you can’t think of such a person in your life, I’d suggest expanding your circle of friends.
Those who win will get two units valued up to $270US (each) from Clever Training. This could be currently shipping units like the Polar M400, or, upcoming units like the Garmin Vivoactive once it ships. As long as the value is under $270US per device you can pick whatever you want from Clever Training.
Here’s a few ideas to get ya thinking:
The Fitbit Surge GPS watch
TomTom Runner Cardio GPS watch (with optical HR sensor)
Garmin Vivoactive GPS smartwatch
Polar M400 GPS watch
Mio Fuse Activity Tracker with optical HR sensor
Suunto Ambit2 S GPS multisport watch
How to enter:
Leave a comment with: A description of your Valentine’s Day training or racing plans.
Simple as that! As usual, Clever Training is sponsoring the giveaway. Remember you can save 10% off anything they sell through either the coupon code or the DCR/CT VIP program, plus of course free US shipping for goods over $75US.
Thanks for reading!
The giveaway entry period will run through Monday, February 16th, 2015 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. Winner will be selected randomly. One entry per person. The product will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming in stock.

A easy 5k for me while wifey runs around the toddler 🙂
I can’t (well, don’t want to) go too far as my wife is expecting and ready to go any day now, so after celebrating Valentines day and keeping her happy enough to allow me to train on the special day/weekend, I’m just hitting the trainer for an hour or two each day while reading DC Rainmaker posts and drooling over new fitness tech toys.
Ran the “Cupid 5K” in Shelburne VT. 0 degrees and snow on the road, but a good time and my first 5K in quite a while!
Attempting to wear out my Vizsla puppy as the high winds have forced a rest day.

Well I just took the baby for a nice long 1.5 hour walk while she slept. :o)

I ran 12 miles and my valentine joined me for 3 of those in the middle.
I started Valentine’s Day with over 400 of my closest trail-loving friends runnig 10 of the hardest miles in the KC area –> PsychoWyco 2015. Great weather, a bit Muddy, but bearable. Great way to start the day!
Too cold for a proper cycle, so we spent 90 minutes side-by-side spinning.
I ran intervals, 1 minute fast 1 minute slow
Just hoping to get my heart rate up any way I can.

Training together until this fall will be nice!
Count me in! Thanks.
ran 12 grueling miles on a treadmill. when will winter be over 🙁
Ran on a treadmille in a hotel. 15k. Was a nice hotel though. Yep, that’s how my weekend was spent 🙂
My Valentine day workout will unfortunately include only running from one kids’ event to another – so no proper training.
No training to speak of but I did walk to the shops to pick up supplies on Saturday, no far but something. I did fit in an 8k run on Sunday though..
I went out on a 24 mile ride around Lake Monroe and hit it pretty hard. The temperature averaged around 70°F so it was a great day for a ride.
Went out for 49 mile ride with an old friend and group of others.
My valentine day training was cancelled due to extrimely bad weather. I plan to do paddle.
Spent time with the family. No planned training.

I spent it with family and my mother-in-law who is battling breast cancer
Sitting on the couch with the girlfriend and watching Big Hero 6….love winter training!
23 km long run.
Easy run through the bushes..
I went for a short ride as soon as there was some sun. Hélas, I took a good shower, I went back home so dirty, and my wife was clearly not happy. Great warm up for Valentine 😉 It got better after that.
Hoping being at the bottom helps!! My plans were to go for a 10K run then walk around an outdoor mall, but my Valentine, horrible drivers, and the stupid cold weather had other plans. So it consisted of walking around the farmers market (indoors), then sitting in a car for 5 hours in traffic with my wife and another couple (horrible accident 300m ahead of us closing the major highway for 6+ hours), then finally getting dinner and going home… Then the stupid cold (-20F) prevented any run on Sunday. Not a great training weekend, but memorable…
Coming off two 50K runs the previous two weekends, I vegged out. Walked about 4 cold miles yesterday. Legs feeling pretty good
3 hour mountain bike
I did a 4 miles run in Grapevine, Texas. 🙂
We saw some videos at home. 🙂
Regards Ray

Swam 4k together and cooked a delicious dinner at night!
On V-Day, I did a Z2 11-mile run, and took a swim lesson!
Hot Chocolate 5K, because nothing says training like shoving your face full of chocolate afterwards.

1 hour of hill repeats early in the morning with a few friends who have agreed to run their first half or full marathon at the Phoenix Marathon. Later in the afternoon, a 40 mile ride.

Same as @Tisztul_A_Visztula on VD! But Today it’s -20 ºC here in Montreal (-32 ºC with wind factor or if you prefer -4 ºF –> -26 ºF with wind factor) so a quick lunch time indoor pool 2000m. for her and a lunch time spin class for him…
Brrr!
Morning 5 mile run. Yoga in the afternoon.
The wife and I go to the gym together. She does assorted cardio training while I do a mix of StrongLifts 5×5 and cardio — plan to get back into longer running as soon as the frigid weather in our area breaks and we both plan on swim training in the warm weather.
A 5 mile interval training with my other half.
Sick in bed, 63km sunny bike ride on sunday.
My wife recently gave birth to our son, so training activity was limited! As it happened, vday training was ~5 trips hauling folding tables and plastic bins of materials back and forth from the car at a tradeshow…
with 70 deg weather here this weekend (north- CA) a long road bike ride is in…
We purchased her a road bike and did our first road ride together (32 miles), and she is debating on doing the MS150 (2 day ride from Houston to Austin) with me!!!
A 1 hour wobble on my turbo using trainer road to burn off the birthday cake
Hi,
My Valentine’s day training was a one hour run at a fairly easy pace while my girlfriend played with the kids. When I came back after a short shower, I played with the kids and my girlfriend went for a run. We didn’t ran with the kids, it’s freezing in Montreal theses days…
After that hard work, a great supper with only the two of us while the kids slept. A fin ending to a great day!
Thanks for the great site, I bought a Forerunner 220 because of your incredibly detailled review!
