I love Runaway Bridal Planner’s health and fitness blogger giveaway bloghops. Now, she is hosting “Thankful for My Followers Giveaway Hop.” I am very thankful for my followers, so this is another perfect fit for me!
In case you are not familiar with it, a bloghop is a set of blog posts by different bloggers that are linked together. In this case, each blog hosts a unique giveaway and provides links to other blogs with like-minded giveaways running for the same time period. Blog readers who come to one blog on the list can see links to all of the others and can click to “hop” on over to the next blog.
Well, you know that I love giveaways and to check out new blogs so I decided to link up again! You can see all of the other participating blogs at the bottom of this post or at Runaway Bridal Planner or at co-host MCM Mama Runs.
My friends at CEP sent me an awesome care package for the NYC Marathon and then they offered one reader a pair of Progressive+ Run Merino socks to get them through the winter!
Have you heard about the new Progressive+ Run Merino Socks? These are a new version of the Progressive Run Sock line with the addition of premium merino wool. Why add merino to the tried and true formula? For better moisture management, heat management and antibacterial/odor reducing properties. How awesome is that? These socks are a unique combination of premium merino wool, polypropylene and high-tech spandex. Like the other Progressive+ Run socks, they are nice and tight in the feet with comfortable padding to prevent blisters. These are also great for travel – the merino will keep them fresh if you can’t machine wash. They come in gray/black and blue/black for now and are offered in men’s and women’s in the traditional sizing.
They still have all of the benefits of the defined compression profile:
- Optimum recovery and performance
- Maximum stability for muscles and joints to help prevent injuries
- Special design activates the flow of blood in the muscles
- Metatarsal compression zone for arch stabilization
I wore mine all weekend and for the NYC Marathon. Two Thumbs Up. My feet were not cold at the start and my shins felt great. Also no leg cramps. And NO blisters. They were very comfortable. They are slightly less tight than my Progressive Run socks and I liked that feeling for the marathon.

Speaking of training and recovery tools, my friends at SOS Rehydrate are offering a one month supply of their awesome “rehydration drink.” (review)
SOS Rehydrate is a fast-acting electrolyte replacement drink developed to “prevent and fight mild to moderate dehydration from active lifestyles.” It has 50% more electrolytes and 75% less carbohydrates than other sports drinks.
Many sports drinks are “energy drinks” with sugar and/or caffeine and give an artificial energy boost – they are not meant to hydrate you. SOS Rehydrate uses the right mix of electrolytes that will help your body maximize its ability to get more out of water – so that you can get hydrated and stay hydrated longer. Why is hydration important? Read the science.
Finds’ friend, Jason, and I tried the Citrus flavor for my review. SOS Rehydrate co-founder, James, then sent me the blueberry flavor which he said is a bit salty and less preferred by the masses. I LOVED it! It was not fake tasting or too sweet. When I told James, he said it is preferred by “serious” runners. Ah hem, yup. My favorite.
I am very excited to use this in my marathon recovery and I think you should try it, too! SOS Rehydrate is $8.75 per box (retail) of five packets. Through November 9, SOS Hydrate is $1 off at Meijer stores, no coupon needed. If you are not in a Meijer area, you can also buy it online or via Amazon. You can keep up with SOS Rehydrate on Facebook and Twitter!
