Good morning friends!

How are you!? Alright, first up today: If you’re reading this on my actual site as opposed to in your email or in a reader, you’ve probably noticed that Eat Spin Run Repeat had a little – actually, a very large – overnight makeover! This is something I’ve wanted to do for quite a while now but just didn’t have the technical skills to do it. Thankfully, I happened to stumble upon an awesome WordPress wizard named Ryan Sullivan, who offered to do the project for me. I was assuming I’d have to wait a few weeks, but he was ready to jump on it right away. There’s still a little formatting to be done on my part, but the heavy lifting is finished. Bloggers, if you need any WordPress work done whatsoever, I definitely recommend giving him a shout! Thanks again Ryan!! :)

Secondly, thanks for all of your comments and tweets about my plantar fasciitis woes. It’s very encouraging to hear that many of you recovered from it quickly! I’m hoping that a little rest will have me running again soon. For now, it’s low-impact cardio, ice and anti-inflammatories for this girl!

Alright, that’s enough about my stinky feet, because I’ve got something exciting for you today! You may have noticed that a little while ago, this badge appeared in my right sidebar:

I haven’t mentioned anything about Love Grown Foods here on the blog yet, but some of you may be aware that the company’s delicious granola is now available in Canada! Just before I left for Australia, a very exciting (and rather heavy) parcel arrived on my doorstep:

What was inside? HEAPS of granola!

When the wonderfully generous Maddy at Love Grown Foods asked if I wanted to be the first Canadian Love Blogger, I immediately told her yes. I’d already heard so much about the company and its products from the other Love Bloggers and I couldn’t wait to start spreading a little love myself.

You might be wondering why I’m so over-the-moon happy about this granola in particular, and there are plenty of reasons. For example:

  • It comes in 5 flavours: Simply Oats, Apple Walnut Delight (my personal favourite), Raisin Almond Crunch (a close second favourite), Sweet Cranberry Pecan, and Cocoa Goodness.
  • The company uses real ingredients and is very transparent about what exactly it is you’re putting in your mouth
  • There are no artificial sweeteners or refined sugars
  • All 5 flavours use certified gluten-free oats

But that’s not all. Maddy and Alex are the two entrepreneurs behind the company, and both share a passion for active lifestyles and healthy foods – two things that I’m just a little nutty about myself! To show their commitment, they visit schools and help to teach children about the importance of a healthy breakfast, participate in several community events, and honour a customer each month that exemplifies a ‘live free’ lifestyle. They’re about more than just oats in a bag, folks!

So here’s the deal: I’ve got some love to share with a lucky giveaway winner, and since Love Grown Foods is relatively new to Canada, it’s open to my Canadian readers only. (Sorry US bloggies – I’ll get ya next time!) The winner will receive:

  • 5 mini bags of Love Grown granola – one in each flavour
  • 1 large bag in whatever flavour you choose

There are several ways to enter, and each one will get you a separate entry.

  • MANDATORY: Comment below telling me your favourite way to enjoy granola
  • Optional:

The giveaway will close at midnight Eastern time on Thursday May 24th, and I’ll announce a winner first thing on Friday morning. Good luck!! :)
