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.

It’s so hard to admit that not running like I used to is having an effect on me. When I started running 6 years ago, so much changed for me both physically and mentally. I met some of the most supportive people and made some meaningful friendships. I need that feeling again and really trying to find it. I’m thankful for so many things and find solace in living vicariously through many of my IG friends. It’s a strong community and knowing that there are so many honest caring people keeps me going. Happy Monday!

Who wants to go for a mountain bike ride?! It is so nice outside and I hope it lasts. I have the next 7 days off!! The only thing that would make it better is if I was biking in Colorado. Happy Tuesday! #czss19 #shokzamb #thedirtunit

So I just tried to run again and it actually went well. Only managed three miles on these knees and while it’s nowhere near what my ability is, I’ll take it. I’ve had so many ups and downs since my knee surgeries and I just want to get back what I’ve lost. The cross training over the last month has definitely helped me maintain fitness but it’s the running and camaraderie I miss most. I will not stop trying and seeking answers - ever. Happy Monday! #czss19 #shokzamb #thedirtunit #aftershokz

@rach_runs_rva had a great post to reintroduce herself to her followers and it’s been awhile since I did one so here goes mine! 1. I’m a Fire Battalion Chief and a Paramedic of many years. 🚒🚑 2. In my previous life, I was a baseball athletic trainer for a Division I team. ⚾️ 3. I love real Napoli pizza more than any man should. Like addiction love. 🍕 4. I started running about 5-6 years ago and started out doing well. 5. There is only one food I truly despise and get nauseous if I smell it: sauerkraut. 🤢 6. My best friend passed away years ago and it still affects me to this day. 7. I’ve met more people here on IG that have truly been there for me when I needed it most. 8. I’ve never been out of the country but hoping to change that. Maybe Costa Rica, Panama, or New Zealand. 9. I love to mountain bike, hike, climb, golf, fish, eat, camp, kayak, and pretty much anything outside. Feel free to share yours here or on your page! Happy Thursday!

With a few obstacles to overcome, this bike ride was very much needed. A few messy miles in the Savannah was just perfect. The night temps are much nicer than earlier today and all of the rain. With running not on the docket and most likely for the unforeseeable future, cross training will be my getaway and maintenance program. Thank you to those who messaged me recently. I cannot be any more humbled. Happy Wednesday! #czss19 #shokzamb #thedirtunit

Working another 24 hours today at the firehouse on overtime but that doesn’t mean rest day. Cross training is becoming a regular routine for me lately and I’m feeling better both physically and mentally. Happy Tuesday! #thedirtunit #czss19 #shokzamb
