Disclaimer: I received a 10 pack of MESTRENGTH to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!

I was lucky enough to participate in trying the MESTRENGTH drink mixes that I’ve heard so much about.  I don’t have to preach the importance of proper hydration in not only your fitness but everyday activities.  For the most part, I’ve usually been a water only kind of runner and athlete.  Lately, I’ve been craving anything that not only replenishes what I’ve I’ve lost but also has some memorable taste.  That’s where MESTRENGTH came in.

So why this brand and what does it do?

Well, simply put, it’s a sugar free and zero calorie drink that gives the body some much needed refueling.  And, it’s gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian!  I am definitely a fan of a drink additive that has no chemicals or unnecessary sugars.  Plus, giving you a kick of 5 electrolyes and 5 gms of creatine for that extra boost of muscle energy.

Now onto the taste…with the package I received, it came 2 packs of 5 flavors.  While all of the flavors are great, I became seriously addicted to the Kiwi Strawberry.  There is just something about the distinct taste and it’s not sugary.

I’ve always been pretty good about staying hydrated in both summer and winter and I know just how important maintaining an equal balance of water in and out is.  I’ve drank the typical sports drinks out there during my sporting life but never finished one as it just tasted too sugary.  I always ended up watering it down just to make it tolerable.  MESTRENGTH has given me what I need and tops it off with being tops for the amount of added electrolytes and flavor all in the absence of chemical additives, preservatives, and sugars.

Ice and rest are so beautiful. My back is already feeling better today. Thank you to those who have called or messaged me ❤️. As soon as I’m back to “normal” I’ll be starting a 30 day push-up challenge if you’d like to join in. Hope Tuesday is great for you!

I ran 5 miles outside and took advantage of the mild and beautiful weather. It was a bit windy but so nice. Lately I’ve doubted my ability to run like I used to but I’ve found myself being inspired by all of you running friends and the accomplishments you’ve made, the PRs you’ve crushed, and the goals you’ve reached. This really is an amazing community. I feel so blessed to have met many of you in real life. Happy Wednesday!

I’ll be redoing the basement over the winter but hung my medals near the new treadmill as a way of motivating myself. (That ugly yellow has got to go!) I won’t be running 15-20 races a year again but in 2020, I will be choosing a few local favorites but also look into a few new racecations. Shoot me your suggestions for some of your favorites! Happy Tuesday!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you amazing people! May you have full bellies and a table surrounded by loved ones. Tag someone you are thankful for!

‘Tis the season for #givegoodvibes and this year, I gifted a pair of @aftershokz to Shancy! She’s been cutting my hair for years and become a friend who knows everything about me! She’s an awesome mom who is getting back to fitness and her current headphones just stopped working. She was so grateful to try these out! You can still join in at givegood vibez.aftershokz.com and if you buy any AfterShokz model, you will also receive a free Open-Box Slate Grey Titanium to gift to a friend, family member, or even a stranger who inspires you!

It’s a new beginning and since that heart rate is indicative of my fitness level, I know I have work to do. A quick walk to get these cold muscles working at an incline of 5.0 followed up by a test of 1 mile. Knees ok, lungs barely ok, heart limited out. I feel good and optimistic! Happy Thursday!
