Fueling and UCAN Giveaway

Yikes, has it really been almost 2 months since I posted?! I have so much to share but to ease back into blog fun and to celebrate the holidays I am doing a quick giveaway (and will share about my fun November and December adventures starting tomorrow).

Here's a little on my missing time: Disney, CIM, guiding a blind runner, back to marathon training, sub 6, holiday fun!  What have you been up too?

I can't believe Christmas is just 3 days away and marathon training is about to start full force again. Let's combine these two and I'm giving away a UCAN Gift Pack with a sampling of their great products.

  • 2 packets UCAN Drink Mix (Orange & Cocoa)
  • 2 packets UCAN with Protein Drink Mix (Vanilla Cream)
  • 2 UCAN Snack Bars (Cinnamon, Chocolate)
  • 2 sticks UCAN Hydrate (Berry, Lemon-Lime)
  • All products are naturally sweetened & gluten-free

    I tried to enter the giveaway but it won't let me, so I thought I would leave a comment. The last two months have mostly been spent finishing my first semester of nursing school. I am finally able to enjoy some stress free running and am considering a full in June if I can figure out how to do sub-par training with the school schedule. :-)

    Never heard of UCAN but would love to try anything that could give me a little edge while working out!

    I've never tried UCAN. Depending on the time and planned run distance, my pre-run fuel is water, cereal, or a sandwich.

    After a race in October I tried their revocery drink (I think!) and it was pretty good - not too sweet which is what I like.

    I use coffee as my preworkout. Thank goodness for coffee!

    I've heard good things about UCAN and really want to try it out. I've tried SO many different prerun foods and fuels and NOTHING really works for me. Anything of subsistence makes me nauseous soon after I start running. Ugh!

A few Races...

Stillwater half was my final pre-marathon race. The weather was a mess, hot humid and gross! I ran with the 1:40 pacer to keep a nice pace and actually held myself back the first haf but yikes then we turned to the road and no shade and it all faded! I struggled to keep the "easy" pace as did everyone around me. I was happy to finish just 45 secs behind the pacer 1:40:45 and not too far off my goal of 1:38. That heat was brutal... Photo credit Stillwater Gazette Grandmas Marathon  For those who don't follow me on IG  @marathonmom28  here is the short version... I started great, on pace to PR then I became hypothermic (yes in June) and once the rain started it was painful (thank you Raynaud's). I finally walked off the course between mile 19-20 where Matt met me with dry clothes and a warm car. Grandmas this is strike 3, I think I am done!  I spent the car ride home thinking of next races and wondering if I could jump back in, (dumb I know). As we drove...

GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

All runners know that post marathon week(s) are filled with the fight to keep eating healthy yet indulge a little. I try to carry healthy snacks wherever I go to avoid the munchies. Needing gluten free makes finding healthy foods quick even tougher. I have my go to foods but love finding new options with such variety. I think my only complaint is the carb to protein ratio which for each bar is 3 or 4:1. I prefer a snack more along the 2:1 carb to protein ratio. To help this I add a few extra nuts to the bars when I have them for a snack, problem solved! Like all GoMacro products, Thrive are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten-Free certified, 100% Vegan, and soy-free. Thrive is currently available to purchase online and will become available to Whole Foods this month! GoMacro is offering 30% off to all my readers with code Thrive30 for online purchases Here The Thrive Bars come in 6 flavors: Caramel Coconut, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, Blueberry ...
