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.

No words needed

I wanted 5 miles this morning but settled for 3.5. It was just under 20 degrees and it felt every bit of it! My legs were heavy throughout the entire run probably after doing so much work this week. Trying to get the legs strong before getting some knee work done and cleaned up. May end up doing some cross training at the gym tonight. But first, a much needed nap since I didn’t sleep much last night. Happy Thursday!

Ok, I have some work to do with this lofty goal! It was postponed in the summer of 2018 so I’m kicking it up for 2019. A quick winter knee clean up and repair, PT, and then strength and endurance training! 🤦‍♂️ #bibchat #thedirtunit #shokzsquad

31 degrees, a little snowy, a little wet, and 4 glorious miles. It’s been a tough last few days and this run was exactly what I needed. Most of the huge snowfall melted but it was very peaceful on my route. And the shorts were required because if I ever wear long pants again on a run, I’ll hear about it from certain people! 😆 (Even if it’s below zero!) Happy Monday!

Sometimes, just sometimes, my workout clothes get so bad I feel like I need to mask up! I’ve been trying the @windetergent on my running clothes and it’s magical on my stuff without smelling like perfume. Use the code “RAVE4WIN” to get 20% off any WIN purchase (individual bottle, 2-pack, or 4-pack.) Offer good through 1/15/2019. #bibchat #winbr #bibravepro

Ran a few miles today using the @gozwiftrun app and played with tempos. Only had the run interrupted once for an emergency call. Still a little sore on my right knee but hopefully getting it fixed soon. 🔪💉 Today’s miles were for @chickchief7 since she’s taking a short break from running. (You’ll be back!) Happy Wednesday! #bibchat #bibravepro #zwiftbr
