StrideBox Review (+giveaway)

-
I was recently contacted by the folks at StrideBox to review what they had to offer.   I do like the idea of a monthly subscription especially for runners, so of course I said yes!




What exactly is StrideBox?  
StrideBox is a monthly subscription service that delivers running accessories and nutritional products.  


What did I get?  
A pretty awesome variety of products.  GU Chomps, Honey Stinger, Hammer Bar and Fizz, Skratch Hydration Mix, Mazamabar Energy Bar, Locklaces, Doctor Hoy's Natural Pain Relief Gel, On the Go towels (for men), and a StrideBox collapsible water bottle.  

All of this for only $15?   Definitely a great deal.  

I had everything sitting out for the picture, then Ward walked by and said "oohhh, what can I have?" Seriously?  He's going to take my stuff, again?  He can have the men's On The Go towels.  I don't think I'll share anything else with him.  Sometimes having a running husband is a pain because he likes the same stuff I do!

A monthly subscription costs $15.  While I didn't go an break down the cost of each item, I definitely think this box is well worth the cost and each item in there is useful for me.  I've tried other monthly subscriptions and this one seems more tailored to things a runner really likes.

Do you want your chance to win your own box?  StrideBox has offered one of my awesome readers a chance to win one of their March boxes.

To enter - "like" StrideBox on facebook or twitter and leave a comment below on my blog telling me what YOU would like to see in StrideBox.   That's it!

The giveaway will end on Wednesday, 2/13/13 at midnight.  I will choose a winner via random.org and post the winner on the blog on Thursday, 2/14/13.  

Disclaimer: I was sent a StrideBox free to review but was in no other way compensated for this post.

    I just followed @StrideBox on Twitter (from @poiseinparma). I'm just learning about the company through your post - it's a very cool idea! I think it would be fun to get a foam roller, although it might be hard to fit in the box!

    As a new runner, I would like to see some things for beginners...if there is such a thing. Or do we just jump right in? LOL I'm more of a liquid protein girl myself, so that would be something I would like to see.

    I liked them on Facebook and Twitter and just ordered my first month with them yesterday. I think products like Knuckle Lights or some kind of night gear would be awesome! Compression gear would be great too, like Autumn said, might be too pricey!

    I love the idea of these boxes as it lets you/compels you to try a variety of items (usually, it seems, as single serving type options) to see what does and does not work for you. I also love the idea of someone else prompting me to try something that I might not otherwise gravitate toward!
    Thanks for hosting the giveaway!!!

The (Wright) Right Socks for ME! + Giveaway

Socks are very important to a runner.   If they rub you the wrong way, it will make for a very uncomfortable run.  Bunching up, toes too cold, too hot, rubbing - all things that can go wrong with a sock.  I'm sure there are some other scenarios I've left out. Thanks to Tom and Kim at WrightSock , I had the chance to try some of their socks out.  Since I wear a size 9 and my size is borderline between a medium and a large, Tom thought it was best for me to try out   both the medium socks and the large socks. I was sent the Running II Double Layer Socks and the Merino TRL Double Layer Socks to try out.  I've never tried out double layer socks before.  Sometimes I have worn two pairs of socks in the winter, but there has been a lot of rubbing which has led to some unpleasant blisters.  Yuck. First up, Running II sock, retail price $12.00. I tried out the medium and large in the quarter sock.   I wore the mediums for my 12 miler with the girls on New Year's Da

I GLOW + giveaway

Running at night scares used to terrify me.  But, it all comes down to if I want to run I had to get over this fear.  Running in the darkness is my only option if I plan on running Monday through Friday since it’s dark before school and getting dark when I leave school and it’s going to be this way until mid February/March.  I supposed option B would be to rejoin the gym, but I really don’t want to spend the $$ and I don’t really enjoy the treadmill anymore.  So, outside it is! I’ve put a lot of thought into what I need to feel safe to run at night.  First and foremost, I needed some new gear to help me out, which lead me to RoadID for some help in this area. This company is fantastic.  It was founded by Michael and Edward Wimmer, a father/son owned company.  Read the story here .  Last fall, I had purchased my own ShoeID.  I like the simplicity of it and that ease of putting it on any pair of shoes (with laces) as I head out the door.  There is some great comfort knowing t

Tommie Rocks + Giveaway!

 A little over a month ago, Jordan from  Tommie Copper  sent me some Tommie Copper gear to sample.  I nearly peed my pants with excitement when the Tommie package came in the mail.  It was a gorgeous fall afternoon AND I had new gear to try out, so I pushed dinner back and made the executive decision to go for a run immediately.  Have you heard about Tommie Copper ?  This company is known for it’s compression gear that is infused with Copper.  So, why does Tommie use copper in it’s compression gear?  From what I gather, copper has been used medicinally for 1000’s of years.  Apparently copper stimulates the immune system to fight infections, repairs injured tissues and promotes healing.  Do you think if I outfitted myself in TC gear and wore it to school everyday, I would fight off those gross elementary kid germs?  I’m tempted to try that out.  Seriously.   Why do people even wear compression gear?  Do they just like wearing tight clothing? Actually, Tommie’s compression line i
