Running with Coupons

I did it.  I entered the Country Music Half Marathon held on April 24th, 2010.  I've been talking about it since I broke my sesamoid and had to bail on my half marathon training during college.  I'm really stoked and wanted to share my goal for two reasons:  

1.  to invite anyone who'd like to road trip with me
2.  to help keep myself accountable. 

 I'm registered and paid in full, so if anyone wants to join me, I'm not messin' around!  The official training program starts at the end of January so 'pre-training' begins immediately :-) 

I noticed that the price had jumped quite a bit since last year and the year before (I've been checking the website with apprehension for the past five years it seems) so I did a quick search for "nashville half marathon coupon codes" and found a coupon website for the second time within the past week.  It's called "Retail Me Not" and I've now used it twice - once for an Adobe Digital Edition of The Road and now for the half marathon.  It saved me two dollars off of my ten dollar book and TEN dollars off the price of the race.  I highly recommend checking this site out if you're buying anything online.  It rates the coupon codes with a success rating and allows you to give feedback about whether or not it worked for you.  I figure, it can't hurt to try a code and I don't feel bad about taking advantage because they are published publicly somewhere and compiled onto one site for easy access so I don't have to search high and low for them.  

Here's the URL if you're interested:  http://www.retailmenot.com/

Happy running and shopping :-)
