Team Nuun

This lead up to Christmas has been full of great news and gifts. I have some additional exciting news to share with all of you. I've been selected to be a member of Team Nuun.

What is Team Nuun?

One of my favorite products that you'll always see me posting and tweeting about is Nuun Hydration. It's a product I never go without. I like it so much, it was one of my items for my 1K Giveaway, where I gave away some of my favorite things. Nuun Hydration is small tablets that you drop into water and it not only gives it flavor, but adds in just what your body needs to rehydrate: a fast-absorbing electrolyte blend. They do so without adding any sugar, high-fructose corn syrup or artificial colors or flavors. That makes for a great hydration solution, without feeling heavy. Light like water, but tastier and more beneficial. It's more than water. I always have it ready for after a workout, run, race and even a tube on my desk at work.

Nuun has their own ambassador program, to promote and support Nuun. In addition, they have a "competitive athletic team" called Team Nuun. I've been selected to be a member of that team. How cool is that? I was actually selected for a team! When I applied to be an ambassador, I had hoped to get to represent a product I love. I already share my love of the product through #nuunlove and just through sharing what it is. I never thought I'd be selected to be a part of a team like this. I'm so excited.

So this means, really, you'll be seeing more of the same. I already love this product and share that love, so you'll continue to see that. I'll be sporting their swag and product at races now, but I already always have it on hand for after the race anyway. What it will mean for you is I'll be on the inside track to find out what's new and I'll be passing that onto you. I'm sure it will even include some giveaways as we go along to spread the #nuunlove. I'm sure there will be more to it as well. I'm currently diving down in deep and getting to know the members of my team and the program so I can share with all of you.

This is really shaping up to be an exciting year and I'm looking to make the most out of it.

BibRave Pro Ambassador

I've already made the announcement on Twitter, essentially as soon as I got the email, but I wanted to formally share some exciting news:

What is BibRave?

What, you may ask, is BibRave Pro? Or BibRave for that matter. This is actually post I've had in notes form for a while waiting to be fully written (that may lend you a hint as to why I'm so excited to be selected). BibRave is a fantastic website, which they simply put it on the homepage as "Find & Review Races". It really is more than just a site to review races. BibRave is a fantastic site that feeds of the awesomeness that is the running community. It’s about sharing your experience so that others can find the best race experience to match their needs. You can discover new races and see how much of a challenge the course is, how well it’s run and if you like swag, how high quality it is. You get more information than you’ll ever find on the race page, direct from runners like you. You can check out all my reviews from my BibRave profile. And while you're there, why not create a profile for yourself and start reviewing races?

BibRave also runs #bibchat, a weekly Twitter chat on Tuesdays discussing a variety of running and race related topic. It's a great way to connect with other runners every week and have some great conversations. I've met several other runners that I talk to fairly regularly through #bibchat. The weekly chat also comes with the added benefit of the chance to win some great swag and products. Who doesn't like that?

What does BibRave Pro mean?

BibRave Pro is BibRave's ambassador program. I'll get the opportunity to work with and run some great races. I'll also help promote BibRave, which I frankly already do. I may even get some race entries and discounts to pass onto you. What it really means is some more great content for you. I plan to make the most of this opportunity and can't wait for what this year has to come.
