Day 4 of 12 Days of Carlee's Christmas

Thanks so much for stopping by CarleeMcDot.com today. Whether you've been following along on my journey since I started this blog TEN YEARS AGO or you stopped by for the first time today - WELCOME!

And no matter how long you've been visiting, you picked an AMAZING time to pop in because we're celebrating my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas {read my post announcing this series HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about}.


Today is Day 4 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series because they are just that awesome.

Up for grabs today are: 4 Nuun Prize Packs.


For today, DAY FOUR, four winners will be selected, each winning a Nuun Prize Pack (which includes a nuun Headsweats visor {white or black}, water bottle and four tubes of nuun active {grape, watermelon, tropical and orange}).

I will be the first to admit that I tend to hydrate with water. This isn't a huge deal, well, until you are sweating. Science wasn't my favorite subject, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be surprised to know that sweat contains more than just standard H2O, which means you need to replenish more than that during and after your workouts.

One of the 'things' that you need to refill are electrolytes. Electrolytes play a key function in maintaining fluid balance, and supporting normal body function - can you say 'importante?!' [that means important in Spanish... another subject that wasn't my fave].

Source

That's where nuun comes in! nuun contains an optimal blend of electrolytes which keeps you hydrated for all levels of activities - whether you're running a marathon or a marathon of errands. The hydration aid comes in tablet form, so it's easy to pack for racecations or throw in a desk drawer to have after a sweaty runch. [For those of you who've never tried it, it's less of a 'sports drink, in-your-face' sort of taste, but if you like more flavor, just add an extra tablet or two.]

Entering this giveaway (along with the other #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas giveaways) is easy-peasy! Simply use the Rafflecopter widget listed below on the giveaway blog post and cross your fingers. Some entries are available daily so I'd HIGHLY recommend entering early and often. (Shoot, I would even go as far as suggesting you set an alarm to remind you to come back to this page every 24 hours so you can take advantage of as many entries as possible!)

Now, the nitty gritty details... All entries are verified, so please make sure to do whatever the required action for the entry is or it will be disqualified. I would hate for you to miss out on winning due to a technicality, so if you are going to click the option, make sure you do whatever it asks or a new, random winner will be selected in your place.

Also, this giveaway will last seven days, with the winners being picked (and notified) on the eighth day. The winners will have 24 hours to reply to the congratulations email from me to claim their prizes. That means, for this giveaway, it will end on December 10th at 11:59pm PST and the FOUR winners will be chosen on December 11th.


And, finally, the winners must have a US mailing address. International shipping seems to cost an arm and a leg these days, and customs is a major headache, so to make it easier (and cheaper) on the brands who have offered up their products, the winners must live in United States of America (or at least have an address we can ship to within the US).

With that said, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERS! And don't forget to stop back tomorrow to see what is up next in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas (I promise you do NOT want to miss out on any of these giveaways!)!

  1. My normal recovery is with water or chocolate milk. I'm not much into sports drinks but sometimes feel as though my sodium levels need to be increased.

  2. I use nuun post-long run. I like the taste, and it works great. Occasionally, I get headaches later in the day if I don't continue to hydrate well after a hot long run day. When that happens, I have a nuun, and they usually disappear!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Nuun saves me from getting terrible headaches from electrolyte depletion. I usually drink a full water bottle of it prior to a long run, and definitely before and mountain biking.

    Since we have winter like temps in southern ontario, my go to after a cold outdoor run, is to make a "nuun tea" boil water, add your tab (citrus fruit, current go to) and enjoy! Hydration, plus warmth, win win!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Finding Nuun was a GAME CHANGER for me! I will wake up with leg cramps because I'm not properly hydrated with the right electrolytes. I'm drinking a lot, but when I run I'll sweat TONS of the minerals out, so plain water doesn't cut it. A Nuun every run day is my game plan now to get rid of cramping in the middle of the night!

    ReplyDelete
