12 Days of Christmas Giveaways - Day 12


This is IT... the 12th and final day of the #12DaysXmasGiveaways! I hope you've enjoyed the promotion and found some new products to try out in the New Year. A special THANK YOU to these great sponsors who made it all possible...

The winner from Day 11 is BETH DAVIS!  You've won my newly designed 'Winter Miles Bring Spring Smiles' long sleeve training shirt in a cool blue color.

If you didn't win, the #WinterMiles shirt is available to order HERE. This shirt is part of my Winter Miles Challenge... a free challenge that begins January 6, 2014 and encourages you to hit your weekly mileage goal during the toughest months of winter... with prizes! Plus there is a Virtual Race (with bling!).  Check out the details here. Get signed up for keep yourself accountable!


On the last and 12th Day of Christmas, RunWithJess gave to me... endurance to make it through the holidays long run with an 8 pack of GU Salted Caramel gels.

GU Energy Gel provides athletes with a dose of 100 calories to deliver high-quality, easily-digested and long-lasting energy for athletes in every sport and at all levels. Everything inside each packet of GU is engineered to do one simple thing: provide your body with the essential nutrition it needs to keep going for miles and miles and hours and hours. It goes down easy, and it goes to work fast so you don't have to slow down.

What's in GU Energy Gels?
  • Carbohydrates - GU provides athletes with a dose of 100 calories in the form of 70-80% maltodextrin and 30-20% fructose (The ratio depends upon the flavor.). Why the mix? It’s a complex carbohydrate, and studies have shown that some complex carbs are actually digested faster than simple sugars like table sugar and honey.
  • Amino Acid Blend - GU features a unique blend of amino acids to combat muscle fatigue, accelerate the conversion of carbohydrates into usable energy, and maintain mental focus.
  • Electrolytes - Sodium and potassium to replenish what is lost during strenuous activity.
  • Caffeine - Some GU flavors are caffeinated while others are not. We add caffeine for two reasons: It acts as a stimulant and it lowers the perceived effort. 

WIN IT!

12 Days of Christmas Giveaways - Day 8

It's Day 8 of #12DaysXmasGiveaways! Every day (Mon-Fri) until December 23, I will be featuring a special running-themed product as a HOLIDAY GIFT to you.  
The winner from Day 7 is DENNI JO SWEPSTON!  You've won a $35 gift card from Road ID. Contact me at runwithjess@comcast.net to claim your prize.

On Day 8, I'm excited introduce a product that is perfect for busy families who strive to eat well...  FlapJacked Protein Pancake Mixes!

If you're a mother runner like me, it's without a doubt that pancakes are a staple in your home. Kids love them, and I can't deny it... they are extremely satisfying after a winter long run. But most pancakes mixes are full of sugar and ingredients we can't pronounce.  Enter FlapJacked Protein Pancakes! FlapJacked believes that we are what we eat and healthy meals should not only fuel our bodies and be easy to prepare, but also taste fantastic. I completely agree!

FlapJacked Protein Pancake mixes are not only convenient (just add water), but easy to make and healthy for your family. Each package contains 6 servings of 200 calories or less... plus 15 grams or more of protein in each serving. That's the perfect protein punch you need after a good run - but also that hearty satisfying feeling in your belly. FlapJacked is made with the highest quality protein and the finest, all natural ingredients. 


There are currently three flavors of protein pancake mixes... Banana Hazelnut, Cinnamon Apple and Buttermilk. Oh-my! Hazelnut is my favorite flavor in just about anything!  If you win the Day 8 prize, you will get to try all three flavors with a FlapJacked Variety Pack!

They are truly leaders in the athlete community in educating and providing safety gear. Their flagship product and most well-known is the ID bracelet. Wear one. Should you ever be injured, this identification tag communicates vital information to medical first responders so that they can better attend to your injuries, and contact your family ASAP. It could very well save your life. 

The Road ID now comes in several styles and lots of colors - most convenient and my personal favorite - the shoe tag.

New to the Road ID lineup, there is additional accessories that you can add to your bracelet to further identify you... as a runner, swimmer, military, etc. Check it out here. For $4.99, it's a neat addition if you already have a Road ID.

In addition to identification products, Road ID also carries safety gear to keep you visible on the run... Reflective belts/bands, safety lights and even reflective tape!

The lightweight construction and blend of high-performance materials provide incredible comfort and support. Moisture control keeps your feet dry even during your biggest efforts.

Compression technology helps improve blood flow, resulting in better, more consistent performance with less fatigue and faster, more efficient recovery. In addition to improving vascular performance, Marathon compression socks provide support to critical muscles and tendons, helping reduce inflammation and soreness. Put it all together for the perfect sock for endurance, recovery and travel. 
My collection of Marathon Socks (my black pair in the laundry!)
How much to I love these socks? Hmmm, let's see... I own 9 pair (plus 5 of their ankle trainers)! I love the comforting squeeze of their socks, yet lightweight fabric. The fact that they come in a rainbow of colors and designs has me coming back for more. (Join their email list for Sock of the Month announcements!) I'm a short 5'2", so many knee high compression socks bunch up in the back of my knee - too long of sock for my short leg. Even though I wear a size 9 running shoe, the XS in ProCompression fits me perfectly. Perfect length up my leg and the perfect hug on my calf and foot. I found ProCompression somewhere between marathon #1 and #2 and have been wearing them ever since for my long training runs, full marathons and recovery.

WIN IT!

The Battle Within

I want to thank everyone who played the 12 Days of a Fit Christmas!  It was fun playing Santa for 12 straight days.  There were some super great sponsors, right?!  I  hope you found a new product or two to add to your Christmas list.  By reading the responses each day, it really motivated me last week... so thanks to YOU!  I have one final winner to announce from Day 12.  Congrats to JENNIFER F., who ran 10 miles on a treadmill Monday to win herself some Peppermint GU Energy gel.  Jennifer, email me with your address at runwithjess@comcast.net to claim your prize.

I'm struggling this week with the same nagging injury. Twisting an ankle equals a lot of unhappy muscles in your whole foot.  Downsizing my runs for the past couple weeks has not been easy. I'm trying to stay fit with bike rides, boxing, weights, yoga... but it's just not the same.  Running brings me a special kind of release.  It's my elixir, my drug. Without it, I feel kinda lost... and depressed, especially when I'm suppose to be in-training for the Myrtle Beach Half Marathon in less than 10 weeks.

Getting over an injury, even as simple as a twisted ankle, takes a certain kind of inner strength.  It's easy to get sucked down into that spiraling tunnel of laziness.  Without the exhilaration, exhaustion and utter high that a run provides, I find myself wandering around the house bored and unsatisfied.  That always leads me into the kitchen looking for something I can eat to make it better, make it go away.  In the past, I've dealt with life's adversities by numbing my system... food comas, alcohol or cigarettes.  I refuse to be that person again.  So when injuries riddle my run, my subconscious goes into a deep battle.  I fight the urge to sulk on the couch with a tub of ice cream.  I refuse to let my muscles turn to jelly.  I hoist myself up on that bike, crank the happy tunes and pedal away... because I know a kick-ass run is in my future.

Day 12 of a Fit Christmas

It's the FINAL day of a the 12 Days of a Fit Christmas!  I hope it's provided a little extra motivation to help keep you on track this busy holiday season.  Just reading your entries have made the difference in getting me out the door some days!  The random winner of Day 11's custom iPhone cover from Family Fan Club is... ERIN D., who ran 5.5 miles, followed by the hip portion of the StrongStrides DVD.  Erin, please email me at runwithjess@comcast.net to claim your prize.

• • •

When I was training for my first half marathon, a runner friend asked me if I was practicing mid-run fueling.  The answer was obvious by my "deer-in-headlights" look.  Almost three years later, I've gotten it down to a near science.  My product of choice is GU Energy gels.


GU Energy was first on the scene with energy gels, introduced in 1991.  Easy to take, simple to digest, the GU Energy gels provide a shot of fast-acting natural fructose (natural sugar) to boost your energy supply while on the run.  The 100 calorie pack restores vital electrolytes to keep your blood chemistry in line and hydration levels stable. The gel contains complex carbs (in the form of maltodextrin) to assist in maintaining your glucose levels over the course of your run.

I typically use energy gels when I plan training runs over 8 miles in length. In a half marathon, I've found timing to be best at mile 5 and 10.  Sometimes I even take one before a 5K or 10K if I feel like I didn't fuel properly the night before.

GU Energy also offers "fuel" in forms of chewable Chomps, electrolyte drinks and the Roctane ultra-endurance gels.  I've trained with them all at some point or another.  The Chomps remind me of my kids' fruit snacks. If you have a hard time swallowing the "goo," then these are probably your best bet.  The drinks are a great addition to your water on a long run to keep your electrolyte levels up.  I found this really helpful during my full marathon training.  The Roctane is a serious boost of caffeine. I've tried it many times without a consistent result.  Sometimes my tummy can't handle it; other times it's fine.

Overall I prefer the regular GU Energy gels.  There is definitely a difference when I use them on a long run or marathon.  My favorite flavors are Tri-Berry, Strawberry-Banana, Mandarin Orange and Jet Blackberry.  And now, GU Energy introduced a seasonal flavor for the winter... Peppermint Stick!

I recently tried out the Peppermint Stick flavor and found the minty flavor refreshing while on the run.  Keep in mind, I love Peppermint flavor in general.  I chew Peppermint Extra gym while running all the time, so this flavor was perfect for me.  Think of it like a breath mint - your running partner will thank you!

GU Energy also introduced new Peanut Butter and Island Nector flavors.  I haven't tried them yet, but Peanut Butter sure sounds interesting to me!?


It's Monday AND the last day of a Fit Christmas ... so GET BUSY and GET ACTIVE today!  Then come back and tell me about it to earn an entry to win today's prize... 
Peppermint Stick GU Energy gel!
