Outside PR review & GIVEAWAY!

Outside PR is this awesome company that I have worked with on past reviews. They recently hooked me up with some sweet Ryders Hex sunglasses AND a giant sample pack of Gu products (including Gu, Roctane, Chomps, Brew) for my upcoming 10K (which is not a race but just a goal as I amp up my training for the Lincoln Half-marathon in May).

I'll be honest, I haven't had a chance to try out the sunglasses. I haven't ran outside since...October? November? I'm unsure at this point when the last time was...but I miss it! I could wear these sunglasses as every day ones but I don't want them to get scratched up like my other Ryders (that I won off of a giveaway - see? you could be like that!). And these look like running sunglasses, not fashion ones...but mostly I don't want them scratched. I've tried them on and modeled them for Big A - he likes them but these are a women's pair of glasses so too small for his face.


Ryders is celebrating their 25th anniversary!! Congratulations! Look at these sweet sunglasses made especially for this occasion 20FIVE.

disclaimer: these are NOT the sunglasses I'm giving away, just their awesome 25th anniversary shades.

I probably have not needed Gu on any recent runs, but I wanted to try it. I'd never tried anything Gu before...except maybe Chomps in my first half training. Anyway, I now have tried the (new) Cherry Limeade, Espresso, Vanilla Bean (my fav) Gus. I'm saving the Roctane for when I actually have a long run. I did try their electrolyte brew drink in Blueberry Pomegranate - I may possibly buy stock in this. It's fantastic! And it doesn't leave the yucky aftertaste like Gatorade or Powerade. Yum. I really like this Gu stuff and can't wait to use it for my longer runs but for now I'm enjoying the small jolt of energy it brings during my mid-afternoon workout sessions!

I unbecame and became a follower again! *Grin* That looks interesting. I wonder if that Gu will give an extra boost for me for karate cause sometimes on hard days it just kills me.

I spent my 25th birthday at home, and then we went out to eat at Olive Garden. I think you should spend your 25th making a cake with your boys, I bet Moose would love to do that! And having fun with your family. :)

I have never heard of Gu before, but now that I'm not pregnant anymore I'm really excited to get back into running (and becoming a little more serious about it). So I have been loving looking into all the the crazy running gear I never knew existed.

I don't turn 25 until after you do! :) But you (and I) should definitely get a babysitter and have some quality husband time.

I used GU last weekend...because I ran out of Clif shot bloks!

My 25th b-day was not that exciting. I was finishing my last year of college (yeah, it took me a while!!) and I basically studied all day. Sorry, nothing good!

I last GU'd on my 20 a week ago. I love me some Chocolate GU.
On my 25th birthday I was about 35 weeks pregnant with Doodle. I'm pretty sure that my day was spent playing with Dizzle and eating cupcakes. Exciting life I lead ...

I saw their anniversary shades and can remember people wearing ones like that. Talk about flashbacks!
I had my last Gu during my last Ultra on Halloween. Sad that was my last race. I just realized that. I already got 4 boxes of gingerbread Gu for my upcoming races. I love that flavor...and everyone can smell it and they are jealous! heehee
On my 25th birthday? Sadly that was quite a while ago and with my memory it's a stretch. I would have spent my 25th birthday with my oldest son. He would have been 5. That was a much simplier time. Just he and I. I miss simple.

The last time I GU'd was my last long run in December (12 miles). I have since been rehabbing a knee injury so no long runs but now that I am running again, I see lots of GU in my future.
Oh and I just picked up some Chomps to try for a long bike ride!

My 25th Bday was awesome. I was living in Boston at the time and they got me all kinds of funny gifts and then we went out dancing and finished the night at our fav late night eatery!!

I recently turned 26 and can't even remember what I did for my 25th, obviously it was not that memorable. I did get awesome knee high boots though :D
