If you’re running this summer, SaltStick is your friend.
I first befriended SaltStick when I started training for my first ultra. At the ultra event, we were even closer buddies. I inexcusably forgot my own SaltStick capsules when I made the trip to Rochester for the Mind the Ducks 12-hour race. So I bummed some capsules off a friend. SaltStick is always there for me.
Now that the temperatures are going up and I’m sweating more during the sunny runs, I like to carry some SaltStick capsules with me on my long trail runs. They’re tiny, easy to pop, and a very efficient method of electrolyte replacement.
Today’s giveaway is for your own SaltStick capsules, as well as a mini SaltStick dispenser you can carry on your runs to keep your capsules dry, safe, and easily accessible. It fits on running belts, or on inside road bike handlebars. It is water resistant, super light, and prevents capsule damage from bouncing.
HERE are some more of the dispenser’s key features from www.saltstick.com:
And HERE are the key features of the SaltStick capsules.
As a nutritionist, I love that the capsules are composed in a way to aid in digestion and absorption. This is a vegetable-based composition, with bio-available active ingredients.
It ONLY contains the electrolyte minerals of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. There are no added herbal, trace, or questionable components. They do not contain high fructose corn syrup, or sweeteners of any kind. They are gluten free.

Before I even knew about this giveaway I did something nice. I was out on a 60 minute run and passed a woman as I was going up the largest hill in our area. It’s a tough climb and she was on her way down and smiling.
Well, as it turns out I did my loop and was heading back down the hill where she was walking back up and the following conversation took place:
Me: don’t let this hill beat you.
Her: I won’t let this hill beat me, thank you so much for the encouragement.
Me: you got this just focus on small goals.
Her: Thank you again.
I take a few steps past her and look back and she started running up that hill.

I can’t stand consuming a lot of liquid to get my electrolytes when i’m running. This might be just the answer for me. Thanks.

I gave my cab driver a $10 tip because some guy yelled at her on our drive and she remained very composed and never said a word…though I think she wanted to cry. I figured a little extra would make the trip seem less like a bust
