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 water bottle and four tubes of nuun electrolytes {grape, lemon lime, strawberry lemonade 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' 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's 'important 'in Spanish; another non-favorite subject].

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!)
a Rafflecopter giveaway
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 specific 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!)!

I really, really try to pre-hydrate by drinking my daily water goal (about 100 oz/day is my sweet spot). On long (5+ miles) I’ll take water with half the amount of a nuun. Then afterwards I’ll drink a full strength nuun or Gatorade.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you happen to over indulge during the holidays, nuun is awesome the next morning.
Depends on the run, by myself - Nuun. Social run - probably beer. Side note, Nuun is also perfect for after too much social run beer.
ReplyDeleteI use Nuun consistently. My favorite are the energy tabs
ReplyDeleteI love Nuun for all of my runs. It helps keep me hydrated and decrease any stomach issues.
ReplyDeleteI love grape nuun. It's my go-to after a hard run.
ReplyDeleteI’m a regular Nuun user for pre and post running - it makes me feel so much better when I replace my afternoon coffee with a nuun instead. Tri berry is my favorite flavor!
ReplyDeleteI usually choose Gatorade as my recovery drink. But looking forward to trying Nuun!
ReplyDeleteI usually use Tailwind. But I use the Nuun Hydration stuff all the time when I'm not running
ReplyDeleteI hydrate with just a basic BCAA drink and all of the water. I have yet to try Nuun but all the runners I know say it's delicious!
ReplyDeleteWater drinker over here.
ReplyDeleteI usually will drink Nuun right after the run. Maybe Nuun, water, Nuun again if it's a particularly hard run.
ReplyDeleteWater during the run then Chocolate milk post run.
ReplyDeleteI love Nunn- the lemon lime energy is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently pretty bad at hydrating and re-hydrating, but I find that adding a little flavour, like nuun or lemon, really helps!

ReplyDeleteNuun spark and plain water
ReplyDeleteI mostly just hydrate with water, but on particularly hot or hard days I also drink Gatorade or add some Nuun to my water. :)
ReplyDeleteMostly water. Long run days I drink Gatorade after running.
ReplyDeleteLove nuun. Use it every run. Cherry Limeade with caffeine for morning runs and watermelon sans caffeine in the evenings
ReplyDeleteIn the winter months I usually stick to water but in the hot summer months I drink nuun or SOS after longer runs.
ReplyDeleteI love nuun! I stick with water, nuun and sometimes Gatorade.

ReplyDeleteI drink coffee...I know you're not supposed to do it, but I love to have coffee after my long run! Haha!
ReplyDeleteI usually do just water post-run, but love incorporating Nuun in my regular hydration. Would be fun to try some more flavors too.
ReplyDeleteI drink the one of water. When I’m especially sweaty, I need something with electrolytes and that willl be Nuun when I’m training.
ReplyDeleteI like to stay hydrated with 64-100 oz per day, but in the mornings I get up and drink 16 oz of water while I'm getting dressed for my run to lubricate my joints!
ReplyDeleteNuun is my go-to electrolyte re-hydrator! I've always had a problem with keeping myself hydrated and using nuun both before and during races has helped immensely
ReplyDeleteI actually hydrate now using nuun during my long runs!! I absolutely love the cherry limeade flavor. when i'm not running, I always carry a water bottle on me and am constantly drinking water
ReplyDeleteI always use nuun during my long runs, and even to stay hydrated after hard workouts.
ReplyDeleteI use water during the run, thats about it. After a ginger lemonade nuun. If I'm out of that a can of fresca idk why. I don't even have water
ReplyDeleteMostly Nuun and water now. Before and after. Can't believe it took so long for me to try it (got some as part of a birthday gift earlier this year).
ReplyDeleteI use Nuun after long or hard runs... for everything else it’s usually just water.
ReplyDeleteI have a variety of hydration these days. I use Vega and UCAN hydrate a lot and make sure to drink some BCAAs. I also like nuun!
ReplyDeleteI usually have 1-2 cups before I start my run and then another 2 after (and sometimes some water along the way, when my runs are longer). I try to stay on top of the hydration game, but admit that sometimes it's hard.
ReplyDeleteI use Nuun now and LOVE it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a water guzzler! Sometimes a chocolate protein shake or a scoop of chunky pb afterwards!
ReplyDeleteNuun is the best!
ReplyDeleteMy hydration story is ridiculous. After some rough summers that I attributed to anemia, I finally thought to look into dehydration. Bought the pee sticks and started looking at Specific Gravity and realized I was more dehydrated than I realized. This summer, I started drinking 16 oz. of Nuun and 16 oz. of Pedialyte + water a day. Total 180! So what did I do before Chicago this October? A friend whom I highly respect , but who doesn’t know my hydration habits, texted me Monday of race week and said to just drink shit tons of water and add in electrolytes a few days before. So I drank tons of water and no electrolytes. And I’ll just let you guess how Chicago went.
ReplyDeleteAfter a race I love chocolate milk!
ReplyDeleteWater & rehydrate during & after are my norm
ReplyDeleteI love Gatorade and/or chocolate milk.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Nunn, but would love to! I usually drink Arbonne Fizz.

ReplyDeleteJust plain water, usually.
ReplyDeleteI drink water to hydrate, but I am not a runner. I am recuperating from 2 falls, a broken right leg and shattered right hip, 2 subsequent surgeries and a long recovery. I wish I could run, but I can barely walk. I needed a right knee replacement from all those years of ballet, running and lifting weights and that is why I kept falling. Now, the orthopedist doesn't think I can ever have the knee replacement and my right leg is 2 inches shorter. I will have to try Nuun because it sounds like a great product and maybe if I start swimming again, I can build up my stamina and strength.
ReplyDeleteI love to rehydrate with some protein and electrolytes- whether its Gatorade, some nuun, or a flapjacked protein smoothie!
ReplyDeleteI just drink water. I tried nuun at my last race and am looking for a place near me to buy some.
