Nuun Giveaway and a Q&A

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.

  10. I posted about this on my giveaway tab. I really really need one of those nuun bottles… and I still haven't tried that Straw Lem flavor… our running store still doesn't carry that flavor! 🙁

  21. Ok questionYou use the walk-run method…do you use it on ALL your runs in training? what ratio and during the walk portion do you walk really fast to keep HR high ?

  22. 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!!!!!

  44. What's the number one piece of advice you have for someone who has just started running seriously after years of on and off?

  47. I just wanted to say I used your nuunplatuun coupon and THANK YOU times a million! Got free shipping and saved $18. I love saving money. 🙂 I think my question for you would be what kind of training plans do you use/ where do you get them from?

  60. Were you drunk at that frat party? Was he? Did either of you vomit that night?Where in Switzerland were you exchanging? One of my very favorite places is Mürren in the Lauterbrunen valley. How long were you there? Do you speak German and/or French?Thanks for playing the game 🙂

  81. Did I ask a question yet? Hmmm…I am too lazy to check your 84 comments, so I'll just ask.How long before you and Mr. T got engaged? How did he propose? What was your wedding like?btw, my favorite flavor is strawberry lemonade too. We'll probably get along great…unless there is a limited supply in our van. LOL. j/k.

  83. I so want to try NUUN. I really want it for tomorrow's run but I don't think I can talk hubby into driving 25 miles to get some.What is your favorite thing about the PNW?

  88. 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.)
