Morning!! [ETA: Aaah! I promise it was morning when I started this post!]
So I have this one big post about 97% finished, but truthfully, how many times has that happened [ETA: see above statement] and it’ll take me like 3 days to finish. So in celebration of today not being a Monday (yeah.. it was one of those days yesterday) I figured lets hold off in said big post and start the day off with a little giveaway! Freebies on a Tuesday morning? Yes please!!
If you caught the clue to in in the Grab Bag post, it would be photo #4 down in the lower left corner. You might have said, “Hey – that’s the inside of a subway car!” and then I would have said, “Well geee whiz Suzie, you’re right!” only maybe not, because this is not Pleasantville, and if it were, you probably wouldn’t have recognized the inside of a Subway. Oh right… the giveaway! No, I am not giving away free Charlie Cards or T passes. As an athlete, and and athlete that likes to EAT, I would be talking about that little jingle we all know and, um… love…
First, a little background on me and my guys at the subhouse of YUM. For YEARS, years and years and years my friends, Subway has been probably my favorite stop for food on the go. Back in high school there was one a couple blocks away, and as soon as we got off campus lunch, that was my stop of choice. After XC or swim meets, softball games, driving back from teeny little Albany, Minnesota, picnics, in the airport (MSP’s the best!!), whatever – Subway was the way to go.
And then you might say – “Hey, you were a vegetarian for the last eight years!” to which I would say, “Brilliant deduction, Watson!” (or more likely, “No sh!t Sherlock…” 
) only maybe not, because deduction refers to a conclusion that has been deduced by reasoning or logic, and you didn’t deduce anything because I told you when I said I was going back to eating Mr. Mooo that indeed, I was a vegetarian for the last eight years.
[Sorry kids, way too much coffee already. I promise I'm changing to tea now.]
Back to the goods. I delighted in Subway in both my prevegetarian days, and my years of meat abstinence. I definitely remember really liking the chicken breast sandwiches after little 5th grade softball games, and please believe that I have maxxed on just about every non-meat option too. I may or may not have finished off their entire supply of banana peppers on one occasion. 
All of this is coming from the very bottom of my big ol’ “I’m all about honesty” heart – yes, Subway is providing me with these gifts for you, but my opinion is the same nonetheless.
Gifts… gifts… GIVEAWAY! Haha, I know what you’re still reading for. Subway offered to let me give away two $10 gift cards to spread the love. More specifically, the BREAKFAST SANDWICH love! In case you’ve been living under a rock absent for a while and missed the news, Subway is now offering breakfast sandwiches!! Make it vegetarian, make it with black forest ham, make it however you want, but you’ll definitely make it delicious. AND even better yet, you can order the breakfast sandwiches any time of day! Breakfast is definitely my favorite meal, so if I can have it multiple times a day, all the better!
RULES TO ENTER:
Pretty standard… leave a comment for each entry. #1 is mandatory! There will be TWO winners so get your rear in gear and get to commenting!
- What is your favorite order at Subway? Or, if you’ve never been there (gasssp!) what would you order with this giftcard?
- Follow me on twitter @SperlyTriRunner and tweet about this giveaway! Make sure to include @SperlyTriRunner and the link http://www.drtrirunner.com so I can see that you tweeted!
- Link back to this giveaway on your blog!
Annd because three is a number of perfection (not four Karyn.. not four!) that is it! Pretty simple, pretty delicious! Not to mention, pretty epic, because if you play your cards right $10 will get you THREE sandwiches and THREE coffees! Their breakfast combo (one breakfast sandwich + coffee) is $2.50!! Yes, I did pass elementary math class, and I am aware that 2.50 x 4 = 10 … but isn’t there tax on fast food? And if not.. I’m banking on the fact that you’ll want a cookie to dip in your coffee. Giveaway ends FRIDAY May 7th at midnight, central time of course!
Happy Tuesday mis amigos! And, una pista (a clue!) for the upcoming post:
Very much love,
Erika

Hmmmmmmm…… I love subway. Sorry about this, but I am a meat lover. So I would order their teriyaki chicken sandwich or maybe just maybe I would try one of their new breakfast items. I guess I have been living under a rock or perhaps been swamped with grad finals but I had no idea that they had a breakfast menu.

I always get the same thing at Subway – it’s good, it’s fast and it’s vegan!
6″ Veggie Sub on wheat bread (I eat honey), no cheese, every vegetable they have, except cucumber, a squirt of vinegar and a quick shake of salt & pepper. YUM.
Maybe I need Subway for dinner tonight?

Okay before I lost 25lbs and wasn’t too worried about nutrition I always ordered a Subway Melt with onions and honey mustard. But now since shedding 25lbs and watching my eating a little more I get a Turkey and Black Forest Ham, hold the cheese with all veggies imaginable and spicy mustard. So yummy!

Right. I like Subway cookies and the weird fake-meat veggie patties. So does my dad. We eat them together in awkward silence.

My answer is slightly horrific….I probably get it once or twice a year (usually stick with club or roast beef) but I have loved cold cut trio since I can remember….maybe it is just nostalgic for me…hope so?

I usually order something different everytime I got to Subway, but I think my top two favorites are the sweet teryiaki chicken and the seafood salad (not exactly healthy, but tasty!)

I really do try to change it up from time to time but when I’m starving, which is most of the time, I have to go with a gigantic TUNA MELT. Yes, I always toast my subs no matter what kind. I go with honey wheat bread and pepperjack cheese. When it comes out of the oven it gets jalapenos, banana peppers, green peppers, onions, black olives, no tomatoes ( sorry but Subway’s tomatoes often suck and I can’t take that chance), lettuce, more black olives, black pepper, and some spicy mustard! YUM YUM! Now I’m not even going to make a lunch for tomorrow b/c I know I won’t eat it and will stop at Subway instead.
