Tough Chik shirts and PowerBar Giveaway

On Saturday I ordered two ToughChik shirts. I've had my eye on a few of them for a long time and I finally ordered them. Wednesday this was in my mailbox:

The super cute hand written note

My two MUST HAVE shirts

The back of the purple and the front of the blue

I cannot wait to wear these! I will be wearing Triathamom at Sam's sprint tri this weekend. These shirts are so comfortable, they fit well, and they are longer in length - no back or belly show.

Now - for the giveaway. I have two boxes of PowerBars to give away. I love these things. They are great for on the go snacks, bike rides, before/after a swim, race day......anywhere. The flavor is cookies and cream. Yum!

PowerBar Performance Energy bar — key features:
  • Provides more energy to muscles with C2MAX
  • Contains 200mg sodium, a key electrolyte
  • The original energy bar
  • Low in fat, with 8–9g of protein per bar
  • No preservatives or artificial flavors



PowerBar Performance Energy bar is a great choice for use before & during higher intensity competitions or training sessions like running, cycling & swimming. It’s formulated with PowerBar® C2MAX dual source energy blend, a 2:1 glucose to fructose blend found to deliver 20–50% more energy to muscles than glucose alone and improve endurance performance by 8%.* Performance Energy bars contain 200mg sodium — a key electrolyte lost in sweat that is associated with muscle cramping in some athletes.

Fueling up right can make a big impact on how you feel and perform, no matter what you’re tackling. Eat 1 bar 30–60 minutes before exercise, and for events lasting over 1 hour, eat 1–2 bars per hour during exercise.

    I just got a Tough Chik shirt and wore it during my Ragnar relay and I LOVE the shirt. I love the cut and the cute color. Mine says "Run like you are being chased". :)

    I would really appreciate it if you could help me spread the word... I have a huge fundraising giveaway going on with over $650 worth of prizes.

    I usually fuel before a race with oatmeal sweetened with a little honey and then I drink Hammer Perpetuem. My hubby loves the power bars though so I guess I should try them. :)

    I am really careful with what I eat before a run/race so I haven never fueled the morning of with anything terrible, but lets just say I will NEVER eat a veggie pizza with olives the night before a long run again. EVER. :)

    Depends on my length of run as to what I eat before...for short runs (6 miles or less), I usually eat Sports Beans. If I'm running longer, I usually fuel with a Clif Bar and then with gels along the way.

    Worst fueling is Bonk Breaker Bars. While I love them, they tend to give me a little GI distress, which is never a good thing...I know, too much information.

    Truthfully, I usually get a veggie breakfast sandwich and tall latte from Starbucks before a race.

    My worst choice of fuel was water during a half marathon. I'd planned on drinking the sports drink, but Ultima tastes like peed in Tang and I couldn't force myself to drink it. Beginner's mistake for sure.

    I fuel with half a PBJ sandwich and coffee....I know! And sometimes Gatorade Perform.

    Pre-run, I LOVE oatmeal with a banana mushed into and PB on top! YUM!

    I tried to mix protein powder into oatmeal once and for some reason it came out gritty and chunky. EW! I've done it since and it has worked, but that one time, it looked like baby formula vomit.
