Nuun Giveaway!

If you've read a running blog well, ever, then you've probably heard of nuun. Some people love it (me) and some people don't. Some people can't run without it if the temperature goes over 60 degrees (again, moi) and some people claim it gives them the runs. Isn't the world of running fuel fun?!

If you are one of the few people who hasn't heard of nuun, crawl out from under that rock and join the rest of us. It's nice out here, I promise.



Anyway, nuun was kind enough to send me a box of goodies after making the Hood to Coast Relay Team After-nuun Delight. It turns out that they have more than the one single flavor I've been drinking for the last 18 months. I have GOT to get out more. I always drink this flavor - lemon lime:



But my new favorite has got to be strawberry lemonade. I will admit I only opened it because the tube was pink and I am influenced by stupid stuff like that, but in actuality it's also pretty tasty.



Since I take half a tablet for tough workouts...this supply should last me roughly 12 years. I don't know the expiration dates, so I figured I would share the wealth. Two winners will each get two tubes of nuun and a new snazzy water bottle. You'll never guess what the bottle says on it. No, guess. Guess. Damn - you're right. It says nuun. So, to recap - win this:





In order to win, you have to take a picture with a zebra, recite the alphabet backwards and send me a picture of you in a movie theater. What, too much?

Fine. All you have to do is leave a comment.

If you want to like me on Facebook or like nuun on Facebook, you go on ahead and do that. It won't help you win at all, but it would be super swell and I like friends.

Legalese: Giveaway open to anyone, in any country that I can think of. (I hope no one from Somalia wins because shipping is going to be killer.) Two winners will be selected at random on Wednesday, May 30th at midnight and announced on Thursday. Any/all comments are eligible to win. I was sent these nuun products free of charge but all thoughts and comments are my own. Especially the parts about the Somalians - please don't hold nuun accountable for that.



Comments

    ReplyDelete

  17. I love Nuun! I started using it a lot this year while training for my ultramarathon. It was nice to be able to replenish electrolytes without calories and sugar since I was eating a ton of solid food at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Let's see, do you say "noon" or "nun" ??? hee hee

    ReplyDelete

  22. I've heard lots of people rave about nuun, but I've never tried it before.

    ReplyDelete
  23. We love Nuun at our house. My kids are always finding my stash. They too like the strawberry lemonade, though the citrus is my favorite. Once I was buying Nuun at REI and they had a bunch of banana Nuun on clearance. That made me go hmmmmm. Anyone tried the banana flavor?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm happy to try anything for free, even if I roll my eyes each time this product infiltrates my blog reading...rollin rollin rollin ;)

  27. Strawberry lemonade sounds delicious.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I've been drinking the lemon lime flavor only, I guess now I'm willing to try the strawberry lemonade.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I heart nuun, my favorite flavor is citrus fruits although strawberry lemonade is a close 2nd!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'm not in Somalia, but close(ish). When I'm not having a baby in my hometown in the states, I live in Guinea, on the west coast of Africa. But if I win I think I'd gift it to my marathon training friend in Egypt. Luckily you wouldn't have to worry about exorbitant shipping costs because we both have US mailing addresses. You're welcome. :)

  52. NUUUUN! I like it. Despite the blog saturation of it. It makes me happy. I'd like to win some. And I live in Canada - not Somalia. So shipping could be worse.

    I am one of those people coming out from under a rock, I ashamedly hadn't heard of Nuun till now, but I do know what an electrolyte is! Am I forgiven?

    P.S. I liked you (a lot) on facebook :)

    ReplyDelete

  79. LOVE Nuun and would love to win some more. Sometimes I put 2 whole tablets in if it's hot or really intense. Especially biking. It sure helps keeps the cramping away. I wish I could get away with 1/2 tablet. I usually buy 10 tubes at a time so I really hope I win!

Race the Bar 5k Recap (AKA: A Personal Worst!)

Do you remember a few weeks back, when I was all braggy about running in Florida in February/March? Sunny mornings around a lake with a light breeze off the water have turned, cruelly, into humid stretches of time where I am humbly reminded of my own limitations. You guys, I see these gazelle-like creatures, men and women alike, who prance on my running route with compression socks, a soft glow of perspiration at their brow. It's beautiful. It's also a harsh reminder that I am not them. I am currently running in the thinnest, smallest items of clothing I can without offending anyone (shirt stays on, people). I dare not step outside without some awful visor or wide-brimmed hat. When I hop in the shower after a run, my face is a deep crimson that causes my husband to voice his concern for my general well-being. Have I mentioned this is what happens after my easy runs, with a few walk breaks thrown in? Yeah. It's humbling. Now, I'm not complaining. It's beautiful

1st Wedding Anniversary--Celebrating with Chocolate!

One year ago today, I married the love of my life. And I couldn't be happier! In celebration of our very first anniversary, here are some pictures of our favorite moments together: Our first trail race together Hiking together in GA And of course, our wonderful wedding in Hong Kong. We both decided to keep things very simple, with a casual ceremony with a few friends and family and then lunch at the Mandarin Oriental. Exactly what I wanted! With our parents after making it official! Our entire wedding party. Just family and dear friends! Goofing around with my garter at the reception lunch! You think you know what couples do after they get married? You know, their first night at man and wife? If you guessed eat ridiculously delicious chocolates in their bed at the Grand Hyatt, you're right.  Oh, I haven't changed. One year later and I still celebrate with sweet things! Thanks Tim, for being a wonderful husband. I love you!

Brace Yourselves: Cuteness is Coming

One of the hardest things about moving, for me, was wondering how the cats would adjust each time. Although our cats are super travelers at this stage, I feel really guilty every time we have to pack them up and force them onto a plane. I remember my grandma telling me years ago that when she moved with a cat, they put butter on their paws. That way, the cats spent the first day in a new house licking their paws to get them clean, and that was enough time to lose the "smell" of the old house. I love that story, and I wish the same principle applied to longer moves. Anyway, that's a super long intro to say that for the fellow cat ladies out there, our three fur babies are insanely happy in this jungle gym of a home here in Florida. It's warm, there are plenty of sunny spots to curl up a take a nap, and they have lots of room to spread out. Despite the space, of course, they still usually want to take a nap on my head at night. Obviously. They also love climbing on ou
