Nuun Giveaway and a Q&A

  • Kerrie

How did I get here?

As you probably know, I’m running the Hood to Coast Relay THIS MONTH on a Nuun-sponsored team, Nuun Platuun. Yeeps! (That’s a combo of yikes and jeepers. I think it works.)

Two years and about 50 pounds ago, I was a couch potato with a painful sciatic nerve issue who never dreamed she’d be doing something as crazy as I think HTC is, and yet, here I am…a few weeks away. How did I get here?

This is your chance to ask me a question. I’ve been tagged by some of my “nuunmates.”

Me!

Okay, so ask me something. Anything. It can be running related or not.

I actually have a hard time with these, I can never think of anything to ask (which was a leeeetle bit of an issue when I was a journalist). I can’t pee ask on command, okay?

Here are a few tidbits about me to give you some ideas.

  • I met Mr. T at a frat party.
  • I do not like to be sad.
  • If I came out a boy, my parents would’ve named me Brady. 
  • I was a foreign exchange student in Switzerland.
  • My friend once stuck a baby carrot up my nostril. We were in high school.
  • My favorite new Nuun flavor is Strawberry Lemonade!

Oh, and I’ll give you an incentive to ask a question:

TWO of you can win some Nuun! Yummy!

If you are a regular reader of this blog, then you know that Nuun pretty much rocks my world on long runs. I won’t go on and on about it because I’ve done that…repeatedly. But, basically, what makes it awesome is that it has:

  • No sugar
  • Lots of those electrolyte thingies we all love
  • It’s less than 8 calories
  • Helps your body absorb water 

If you don’t want to wait to win, though, Nuun is having an awesome discount for Team Nuun Platuun – Mom vs. Marathon followers through the end of September! Use the discount code NUUNPLATUUN at checkout for 25% off some delish Nuun! Go HERE.

So the giveaway/question-asking will start NOW and end on Sunday, Aug. 7 at 11:59 p.m. PST. There will be TWO winners, and each winner will receive a tube of Nuun and a Nuun bottle (which, by the way, are my FAVORITE bottles).

To enter (leave a comment for each entry so all of your entries will be counted):
-Ask me a question in a comment below.
-Be a follower of Mom vs. Marathon. Leave me a comment.
-Like Nuun on Facebook HERE and tell them I sent you. Leave me a comment.
-Like Mom vs. Marathon HERE and write something funny (but appropriate, m’kay) on my wall. Leave me a comment.
-Follow Nuun on Twitter HERE. Leave me a comment.
-Follow Mom vs. Marathon on Twitter HERE. Leave me a comment.
-Share this giveaway on your blog, Facebook page, in an e-mail, on Twitter (make sure you tag @momvsmarathon and @ministryofnuun)…whatevs! Leave me a comment.

Good luck and let the asking begin NOW!

PS: Actual running post (hopefully) coming tomorrow to recap Sunday’s 11-miler and Monday’s adventurous 4-miler.

    what are your methods for dealing when you do stupid/silly mistakes during races? This past weekend I forgot my hat and sunglasses in the car and didn't have time to go back and get them. The entire race i was soo down on myself because i was so uncomfortable without both of them! 3 days later i'm still soo mad at myself for doing such a stupid mistake!!!!!

    How exactly do you work Nuun into your long training runs? (I've only trained for halfs & never brought water along.) I'm training for Portland full, so I need to figure out how to incorporate hydration during long runs. Until you posted that you use Nunn on your runs, I only considered using water. (Duh. Nuun while running & not just after. Of course!) Your brilliant simplicity! Do you base your “Nuun sips/gulps” on miles run or minutes run? What Nuun “sip/run” ratio have you found optimal? Thanks! (I am SO addicted to Nuun that I fear if I were cut, I'd bleed Nuun… and wine. Yipes.)
