Mom vs. Marathon’s Nuun Hood to Coast Relay Application & a Nuun Giveaway

Now, before I can change it again, here is my Nuun Hood to Coast Relay Application for 2012:

Last year, for my application, I wrote about adventure. This year, I knew I needed to step it up and not fall back on what I’m comfortable with. After all, that’s what Hood to Coast was all about for me in 2011 — getting out of my comfort zone. I had a lot of ideas for this application. Some of them were funny in concept, but they just weren’t translating. I did a bunch of Hood to Coast-themed someecards that I may post later anyway because I they make me laugh. And I did a couple other videos. They just didn’t feel quite right.

But one night, when I was washing my face before bed, I noticed I had a Nuun tube sitting next to my sink along with all my face and hair products. I mean, I knew it was there, but at that moment, it just struck me as funny. And then I remembered that I had a bottle of Nuun on my nightstand, and I knew I had another Nuun bottle at the ready in my car. I take one to work with me every day. I have a box in my pantry stuffed with Nuun tubes. I have two Nuun tubes in my purse. Another in my lunch bag. I have Nuun everywhere!

And I thought about how I bring it with me when I go anywhere and that’s when I realized, I just always have to have Nuun around. Addicted much? Me and Nuun: We’re always together. My Nuun bottle’s like part of the family. Seriously. So that’s when I had a couple ideas about Nuun being a part of the family, and then it morphed into me and my Nuun bottle being BFFs, and for some reason, that made me think of Laverne & Shirley*, and the opening of that show. And voila!

T Junior had a lot of fun being in it, but you can see in the “watching a movie” scene that he’s looking at me weird, and you can see that he’s talking to me: “Why you cryin’, Mom?” Of course, I reminded him that we are just pretending. Bennie also looks at me weird in the “tripping” scene, in which (for once) he doesn’t actually trip me, but close enough. Special thanks to Mr. T and Chelsea for being good sports, and filming for me.

And thanks to Nuun for this opportunity. I hope I get to experience it again because this year I want to really step out of my comfort zone and conquer the course!

At the start! 2011

Did you apply? Go HERE for details and get your application in by Monday!

GIVEAWAY!
I’m giving away a new Nuun bottle stuffed with grape and fruit punch Nuun tabs (my two favorite flavors). Here’s what you gotta do to enter:

GO to NUUN’S FACEBOOK PAGE, and POST “Don’t send Nuun to Hood to Coast without Mom vs. Marathon!” (or if you want to write your own demand, that’s cool, too), then COME BACK HERE and COMMENT to let me know you did. That’s it!

The giveaway will end Thursday night at 11:59 p.m. PST. Good luck!

*Later, I realized some people may not, um, remember Laverne & Shirley, and that this means I might be oldish. Watch the TV show opening HERE.

  4. I remember Laverne and Shirley. A watched the video with me and said, “I’ve heard of Laverne and Shirley”. Aw, kind of made me sad. They must pick you!

  9. I love your video Kerrie! Laverne & Shirley theme is most excellent. They CAN’T send Nuun to OR without you! Impossible.

  13. Just posted on the NUUN facebook. Grape is my favorite NUUN flavor, too. I think because it reminds me of grape Koolaid as a kid.

  14. Hi! I follow you through your facebook page and love hearing about all your running journeys! I just posted your demand to the Nuun facebook page. I am a runner for 3 plus years now and believe it or not I have never tried Nuun(yet my runner friends and I were JUST talking about Nuun on our last run together this weekend!) so I would love to win!

  16. ok question. they ask for your 10k split time…what the heck? I am not sure what that means…

    Reply

    1. They just need your 10K time for Hood to Coast. The relay has to have a guesstimate on what time your team will finish.

  22. 1) i like the slo-mo bounce of the b00bs in the last scene that was so expertly filmed (you’re welcome)
    2) I am out of tri-berry. Found this out while hungover. Devastating. If all of you run this again I do expect some tri-berry out of it kthx.

    1. What are you talking about? My b00bs are not big enough for that. Now I have to watch it. Tri-berry request. Noted.
