GIVEAWAY!

Is it hot enough where you are?
Here we are in a permanent oven state.  I hate it.  I cannot wait for summer to be OVER.
I had to go to the gym this morning and it is a real shame because the boys are at VBS every morning this week.

So time for a NUUN Giveaway!
If you come and visit here often you know I will run Hood to Coast relay in August with the NUNN team.  You also know that I have many GI issues.  I have them all the time not just while running. 

The list of things I cannot eat or drink is endless.  It makes finding fuel for long runs very hard.  I wrote several posts in the past about my quest to finding fuel for my LR and my half marathons.  I have tried many products and most of them have not worked for me.

NUUN is one that does work.  It works before and after runs not always during though but I take what I can get.  I drink NUUN every day these days.  I get dehydrated VERY easily and I have a hard time dealing with this during my races.  If you read my race reports you know I am not kidding..I mean look...



I know, very lady like right?
Why does NUUN work for me? 
I think a lot has to do with the taste...it is very light and also NUUN has no sugar, no high-fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors or colors.
My stomach can handle that.  It cannot handle anything like Gatorade.
Each tube of NUNN has 12 tablets.
Each tablet makes 16 oz. of NUNN, and contains 360 mg Sodium, 100 mg Potassium, 25 mg Magnesium and13 mg Calcium.

They offer several flavors you can see them all here.  Unfortunately, I cannot drink all of them.  Some don't work and cause me to get acid reflux but I can drink the fruit punch and orange flavors.  Fruit punch is the one that has never caused any problem so I always have that flavor in the pantry!

I'm a follower!! (Also on a side note, Blogger has been defaulting my font to be highlighted in white too. I don't get, but it's annoying. You can erase the HTML code, but otherwise I guess everything is going to be highlighted for some reason!!)

Christy said...

Favorite Olympic events are obviously Track and Field, but also gymnastics! Watched both Olympic trials!

Christy said...

I'm reading The Litigators by John Grisham!

Michael said...

I am, of course, a faithful follower :)

Michael said...

Favorite Olympic event: Any of the gymnastics events, but I do like the women's events more than the mens.

Michael said...

Not reading anything now, but I did read the Hunger Games Trilogy this year and LOVED it!! I also want to pick up a Dog's Journey but haven't yet.

Michelle said...

I am a follower. I think diving is my fav to watch and I just finished 50 Shades so now I have a Kristin Hannah book to read. Nuun is great stuff :)

Denise said...

I am a follower. I haven't quite figured out what nutrition works for me either and I keep meaning to try Nuun as my drink, but haven't. (I just ordered a tube of Kona Kola and whoa I can't do the whole soda flavored thing on a run, so that one is out.)

Linda W. said...

I'm a follower! I love Nuun.

Denise said...

I'm reading a book every couple days thanks to a new (refurbished) Kindle I just bought. I just started One Pink Line by Dina Silver.

Linda W. said...

Favorite summer olympic event to watch is the marathon (but fave winter event is downhill skiing!)

Linda W. said...

I just finished reading "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed. It's about a women who hikes a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail. As an avid hiker, I really enjoyed this book.

mabel said...

i just read "heaven is here" by stephanie nielson; a true story and she has a great blog called nie nie diaries

Denise said...

I can't pick a favorite. I was very into swimming during the trials though. I'm very interested in the marathon, and especially rooting for my fav Kara Goucher!

kristen said...

My favourite olympic event is all of them. Seriously...I know it sounds like I'm copping out and not choosing but I love everything about the olympics. But I guess I love the running and swimming events the most.

As for books - I'm doing a lot of reading for school, so my current read is called "Well and Good" which is case studies in bioethics...sounds riveting doesn't it?

I'm already a follower ;0

On the Right Track said...

My favorite olympic event? Yikes...i actually love a bunch. Let's leave it at track and field, gymnastics, swimming, wrestling, soccer, triathlon, and sailing ;)

I am currently reading "to Kill a Mockingbird" because it is my all time favorite!

Boston Bound Brunette said...

I am not reading any books at this time! I promised to give myself some time off from reading once I was finished with my MPA!

Pam @ herbieontherun.com said...

I love watching women's Olympic gymnastics. Those chicks are AMAZING!

Pam @ herbieontherun.com said...

I haven't started reading it yet, but my sister just loaned me The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

I follow, and have the same white highlight issue with Blogger. I search the html for span and delete anything that is between the <>, including the <>. It's near the beginning of each highlighted paragraph. There will also be a /span to delete at the end of the paragraphs (including <>).

I am a follower. I have never tried Nuun before.

Jan[et] Cicelia said...

I love watching gymnastics and diving

Three Girls with a Mom said...

I can't decide which Olympic event I like the most. I love swimming but also love Gymnastic and running!

Three Girls with a Mom said...

I am reading some boring books for school! UGH!

Jan[et] Cicelia said...

I have like 5K books my sister gave me on a thumb drive, but haven't had the chance to even see what's there, not to mention read any of it. That's on my list this summer though, to sort through it and choose.

My favorite Olympic event will be the marathon!

Gracie said...

I follow you! Of course!

Gracie said...

And my favorite Olympic event is men's figure skating. But if we're going summer, I think the marathon has sucked me in, although I do love the excitement of the 5000 m as well. Actually I'm so darn excited for all of it I could squeal out loud!

I'm reading something called "The Key to Rebecca", a WWii spy novel. Apparently it was a best seller, but I just started it, so it might suck. I just finished some Edith Wharton. She never gets old.

I'm a follower! I have been wanting one of those bottles and of course I LOVE me some Nuun!

Lydia - Running Wild(er) said...

Favorite event? I can't pick just one! Of course I love all the track events, women's beach volleyball and gymnastics!

I just finished The Language of Flowers (a novel) - so good! And I am on the Maze Runner (first in the trilogy) now.

Coy Martinez said...

Favorite olympic event - 100m dash is probably the event I look forward to the most, anything can happnen. I also like the 4x400 relay for the excitement, and the marathon.

Nelly said...

Shortly I'm going to start Reading Divergent - which I've heard is sort of like Hunger Games, so I'm excited to start it!

Winter Olympics has to be hockey...of course ;)

Summer I love to watch Waterpolo because I used to play in University & I get a kick out of seeing what is going on underwater with the underwater camera shots! I also enjoy rowing & swimming. I have never been a big fan of track & field but since I've started running in the last 3 years I am looking forward to watching some of the distance events with my boys.

The Unexpected Runner said...

I admit it....I just motored through the 50 shades books while sitting by the lake on vacation....

However, I am also making my way through "Don't Breathe a Word" by Jennifer McMahon....very good story so far!

MR DETERMINED said...

I am a follower. I love to watch gymnastics and figure skating at the olympics. The book I am currently reading is The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan. I love this series of books about Percy Jackson.

Melissa @ Faster In Water said...

I follow your blog!

I LOVE swimming! I had a hard time not shouting at the TV while on the treadmill at the gym while the trials were on. I'm putting my $ (if I had any!) on Ryan Lochte this year.

Sadly, I have not been to the library in a very, very long time. I love Roddy Doyle books, his writing style and honestly are refreshing.

Christina said...

Hey, this is a really great giveaway! I never win these, but enjoy playing the game. Love my Nuun too :-) My favorites that work well for me are the citrus ones!

Christina said...

#2. My favorite Olympic sport to watch is probably gymnastics, although this year I'm super excited to see how the 3 American women marathoners do. Rooting for Desi :-)

Christina said...

#3. I'm currently finishing up Hunger Games series and getting ready to read "Lothaire", the newest in Kresley Cole's series. :-)

I've seen Nuun all over the blog world but still have yet to try it! I think it sounds like a great product and they have some interesting flavors!
