And the Winner of the Carolina Blue Ray-Bans Is...

Congratulations to Eddie Wooten, winner of the limited edition Carolina Blue Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses! The True Random Number Generator pulled the #2 and that was Eddie's email number. Of the many contests featured on the blog in the past year, this is the first time anyone from my home state (North Carolina) has won. In fact this winner happens to be from my hometown (Greensboro)! Eddie is the church and state editor of the News & Record (my hometown newspaper). He also hosts a blog for runners on the N&R website called Running Shorts.

Hey Eddie! I expect to see a picture of you on your blog or in the paper with you wearing your fine new specs! LOL!!

These special limited edition sunglasses were made available due to an exclusive arrangement with Ray-Ban and Eye Care Associates of NC. Thanks Eye Care Associates for making this contest available to the readers of RunnerDude's Blog!
