It's Earth Day!
Are you a green runner?
A few weeks ago, I wrote a review for a product that I tried out for the first time (*gasp!*) during my first-ever half marathon. I know... I broke the cardinal rule: No trying out of new gear during a race. However, lucky for me, the Armpocket lived up to its reputation. You can see my new gear in this picture, taken on Main Street, USA, in mile 6 of the Disney Princess Half Marathon.
Missed the review? Click here and take a few minutes to read it... Go ahead. I'll wait. No time right now? Okay. You might want to check it out, though, if you're shopping for a place to put your 'stuff' when you run. The Armpocket comes in three styles, from a sleek design to a much beefier version that holds BlackBerries, iPhones, the iPod Touch, etc... Even at its largest size, though, it stays in place. I know this because the largest one was my choice. It*performs*beautifully* (and holds a glucose monitor)
As promised in that review post, here's your chance to win one of your own, in honor of the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, because the Armpocket is made from recycled, earth-friendly materials, including (sustainable) bamboo, and is perfect for folks on the go, not just runners. Parents and grandparents, put your keys, wallet, and phone in the Armpocket while keeping your hands free for the little ones.
Would make a great Mother's or Father's Day gift!

I am a follower. I had already told my son about this when you reviewed it as it sounds like what he is looking for!!!
Okay now I read the whole thing. I like the Sport 20. I carry my own water to be a green runner using a sports belt.
Hi Robin! Thanks for letting this be open for international bloggers too - that doesn't happen too often! Here are my answers:
- I like the Aero 10 - the small size and the color appeal to me!
- the biggest thing I do to be green is eat a vegetarian diet. I also ride my bike to the gym for my tempo workouts on the treadmill.
What a great giveaway Robin!! I love the Sport 20 version of the Armpocket. It would be great for my keys when I run in town. My husband has been trying to get me to take my cell phone on country runs for safety reasons but I haven't figured out how to carry it so this is just the ticket! Also, for the "green" running part, I noticed a lot of trash on a new route that I ran a few weeks ago so I am planning to walk the same 10 mile route in the near future and pick it all up. A lot of it can be recycled so the kids are going to help sort and haul with me. Thanks again for the giveaway!
I like the Sport20 because of the ability to use it with it with touch sensitive electronics like my phone.
What I do to try to be green is use reusable bags to go grocery shopping. As a mom of toddlers I shop alot and always take them with me!
Awesome giveaway, Robin! My favorite Armpocket product would have to be the Sport 20. And I would most definitely get it in pink. :) To be more "green", I've been walking/jogging to the gym in the mornings instead of taking my car. It's really not that far, so I don't know why I didn't do it sooner!
I can't decide between the 10 and the 20. But I know I'd get pink!
oh! And for something green, we recycle and I use reusable water bottles whenever possible!
I am a follower!
I really like the Sport 20 in PINK!
As for being a greener runner, since getting my golite hydroclutch, I don't use bottled water for my workouts anymore, I just my golite bottle!
I like the sport 20 because I could see my iphone thru the front.
Green runner: I try to stay local for races therefore not using a lot of gas and not getting on a plane. :)
I like the Sport 20 because then I could run with my iphone! I recycle EVERYTHING! Thanks Robin :)
I like the Sport 20 because I have an iPod touch and it has a clear window for the screen! Perfect!
I use reusable water bottles, when the dog comes with me I recycle my newspaper bags as poo-pick-up bags, I am vegetarian and I always take my old shoes to the shoe store to be recycled into playground surfaces!
I've been looking at this arm band because it comes in small for my pencil arms lol.
I would pick the Sport 20 model in Pink :)
I have a water bottle that I refill instead of disposable water bottles.
I like the Sport 20 model in the tan color. To be green I carry my water in reusable containers and one thing I want to do is recycle my old running shoes. I may not be able to run in them anymore, but I figure someone might still be able to use them. I am starting to rack up pairs since I have to replace shoes about every 6 months!
Hi Robin - these look great! I like the Sport 20 as I would want to carry my iPhone, keys and some cash... I like the pink but probably would go with a more subtle color like the blue or black. What I do to be a green runner: well I am not sure! I don't litter Gu packets or water bottles like I see others do. I think I will bring my own hydration for races so I don't have to use/waste a cup at the water stations. Thanks for the opprtunity to win!
I like the Aero 10 - the smaller size appeals to me. I'm a green runner because I use my Camelbak water bottle instead of a throwaway water bottle!
I would love one of these, the big ones (xtreme 30) :P I'm still trying to find the perfect way to carry my Epipen and iphone, I have found a waist pouch that works but barely, I have to really jam the EpiPen in and I'm worried how quickly I could get it out if an emergency did come up. Great giveway and great time with Earthday.
And yes, I'm a follower :)
I follow you. :) This would be great for cycling too.
Fun giveaway. I try to be green by always run with a re-useable water bottle. No throwaway bottles for this girl!
and I like the the sport 20, its awesome how it can carry your iPhone!! LOVE THAT!
and of course I'm a follower :)

Hey Robin, I have two of them (Sport 20 and Extreme 30) and love them both! It's so nice to be able to take my phone with me when I run and not have to hide my house keys anymore... Happy Earth Day! :)
To be a green runner, I pick up small trash when I am running and NEVER litter!
I think I like the Sport 20. I know I would like this because I wear an MP3 on my arm sometimes (rarely, lately) and it does not bother me at all.
I am not a follower (don't use blogger) but am subscribed and have you on my blogroll. Does that count!
I am a follower! Only reusable water bottles in our home!
I like the Aero 10 in Pink because it would fit my camera & cell perfectly. I use an ipod shuffle so a window isn't needed. I like the smaller size too.
I try to be a 'green' runner by using re-usable water bottles instead of plastic bottles. I also run local, so I'm not driving to my running locations, I get there by foot!
I like the Aero10 in Pink :) What I like about it is the small size, but that it can carry everything I need! To be a green runner I use a reusable water bottle.
I'd go for the Extreme 30, but can't decide if I'd want the window or not...I don't have an iphone or itouch, but I do have a Garmin Edge 750 that I need easy access to.
Anyway, I'm a green runner because I run with a Camelbak with re-usable bladders for my water. No bottled water for this dude.
Great blog, I just found it from Tall Mom's blog. Great giveaway too, I've really been wanting one of these, it would be much nicer than putting my cell phone between sports bras. :) I like the Aero 10 because I think I wouldn't want anything much bigger.
Too be green, I always use a refillable water bottle and when running with the stroller I pick up any litter I come across.
I would go for the sport, so I can fit my camera in there! I am a green runner because I run outside as often as possible, to get break from using electricity on the treadmill!!
I'm a new follower. I like the Sports version. I'm always trying to find something to put my cell phone, keys and ID cards in when I'm out running.

Great giveaway! I think I'd get the sport 20 to put my camera in! Thnks for having it open to international people too :)
I use re-useable carrier bags and eat vegetarian and recycle as much as I can!
I like the Xtreme 30 with the small touch-thru window because it has separate pockets. That makes it easier to take items out of the armband while you're on the run. I wish it came in pink :)
