Nuun Hydration Review & Giveaway

Well it's almost time for the Portland Rock n' Roll Half Marathon. We are starting our 7 hour road trip at 6:00AM tomorrow... it's time to start hydrating! How? Why with Nuun of course!
What is Nuun?
Electrolyte enhanced drink tabs to keep you hydrated! When I originally looked into Nuun I thought it was just to take along as race fuel but I have since found that I love drinking it ALL the time. It's a nice way to keep myself drinking lots of water and make it less "boring". It's helped me stay away from sugary drinks like pop/juice. Nuun products do not contain any sugar and they are less than 8 calories per tab, they are also gluten-free!

How do you use it?
It's pretty simple:
The Nuun website recommends 1 tablet per 16 oz of water.

Where can you buy it?
It is popular and easy to find at most sport supply stores, I see at my local Running Room all the time. However you can also buy it online: http://nuun.com/ (free shipping until Sunday May 19)

What do I think of Nuun?
I definitely approve of Nuun, mostly for keeping me hydrated on a daily basis, though I do take it along on some of my runs as well. My favorite flavor is lemonade, and Griffin's favorite is watermelon.  The cherry limeade (caffeine enhanced) is yummy too, especially when it's ice cold! I've even read about other bloggers/twitter friends freezing it and drinking it in "slushy" form, now that sounds delicious especially after a hot summer run! I keep a tube of tablets in my purse for when I'm out and I need to spice up my water at a restaurant or refill my bottle after CrossFit, it's very convenient that way. Nuun has become a part of my pre-race routine and really my every day routine.

Giveaway:
The winner will receive the same three flavors pictured below!
