Hair Straight Back

It's another mail day around here.  The September Club Headsweats package has arrived. Yeah I said September, one of the downfalls to being in Canada is the long shipping times for items coming across the border.  But never mind that, look what I got:

Headsweats GoHat and Chevron Energy Band Headband

This super lightweight black on white hat promises to keep a lid on my curly mop of hair and dry rapidly when conditions dictate.  The brim is also a good length for use with a headlamp during night runs.
What is your favourite running hat?

StrideBox Day

It's always fun to get packages in the mail! My August StrideBox is no exception, so excited to test new supplements and flavours.

Surprise!

Yay! 2 Days in a row the mail delivery fairies have arrived with wonderful little packages for me.  Yesterday it was my longstanding subscription from Stridebox.  They put together a monthly selection of nutritional supplements and accessories coveted by runners.

Opening my Stridebox at work created a bit of a buzz in my little cubicle community shared with some running co-workers.  Ahhh...feel the runner envy.

I'm pretty stoked to try the Picky Bar, having seen numerous posts online from other runners preaching the bars yummy-ness.

Also in the box: Skratch Labs - Hot Apples & Cinnamon, Chike - high protein Iced Coffee, a Vitalyte gel, Joshua Tree - lip balm, a Nuun tab, tech friendly running gloves.
Looks like I have lots of hydrating and refueling options to try in the near future.

Do you stick with one favorite brand of athletic supplement or do you like to mix it up and try new ones occasionally?  What's your current favorite hydration or refuel option?

Loving You Is Easy

A couple weeks ago I was perusing the webpage of athletic accessory up and comers Headsweats.com and saw that they offer a "surprise" box subscription. Aptly named Club Headsweats.

Each month, to your door arrives a special something from their extensive inventory of hats, visors, toques and more.   

Don't know about you, but 90% of the time when I run there is something on my head in an attempt to manage wild curly hair or protect from twigs, ticks or rain. So I signed up, curiosity triumphed!

The first box arrived today and this being February the month of love, it was an ozzing-ly sweet chocolate welcome and included a few Power Bar supplements to get me through to the end of the month.

Love the Sasquatch Trucker hat! And the Headsweats edition Polar Insulated water bottle is a nice addition to my collection. Their customer service event went a step further by including a handwritten note of welcome to Club Headsweats.

Have you ever signed up for a subscription box? Where you happy with each of the boxes as they arrived?
