I got caught in a downpour while running the other day. No worries though, I love to run in the 🌧 rain. I was happy it gave me a chance to see how my UA HOVR™ Sonic running shoes perform while wet. Yes, my feet were soaked 💦💦 because of the mesh upper, but I still had good traction and performance. I even ran a few small hills as part of my test. By the time I reached home the sun was out. 🌞 So I took out the insoles, and put my shoes in full sun to dry. A few hours later, they were good to go. Wet or Dry, I’m digging these shoes. 👍 You can read my complete review of UA HOVR™ Sonic 👟 here.

I wanted to show you how the AfterShokz Trekz Air bone conducting head phones work — so I tried to take a selfie. But, I couldn't get the angle right. And I tried taking the photo A LOT. #SelfiesAreHard
Then, I saw this picture of a real AfterShokz model (wearing his hair in a bun). I had to ask, "Who wore the bun better?" Probably him. Definitely him. Still laughing.
At least you can see how the headphones fit over my ear and wrap around the back of my head. Despite my poor selfie skills, I want to tell you about these next level headphones! They're for any (every) workout where you're moving and sweating.

I try to mix up the makes and models of my running shoes, but somehow I never ran in Under Armour shoes until now. I just got to test drive the UA HOVR™ Sonics. I'm so glad I did. I think this shoe will become a regular resident in my closet. Keep reading to learn more about the shoe, and why I like it so much. Fresh Out of the BoxFirst, let's all take a minute to look at these beauties. I love the graphite color and the open mesh upper. The shoe has tons of cushion, but it's still sleek. It just looks fast, doesn't it? Disclaimer: I received UnderArmour HOVR Sonic shoes to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews There are two editions of the UA HOVR™ Sonic: Connected and Non-connected. My shoes were non-connected, which means they don't have a sensor to sync data to an app on my phone. I may try the connected version on my next pair. There are color options, too. Below are a few of the choices available. Color Options for the UA HOVR Sonic Shoe(Photo credit: Under Armour) The Fine DetailsThese shoes are light. They weigh 8 ounces/225 mg. The upper is made of very breathable mesh. There's ventilation on the top and sides. That's a huge selling point when you run in Florida in the Summer. 🙋♀️
50 Miles of Road and Trail TestingI've worn the UA HOVR™ Sonics for running trails and roads. I also spent a full Saturday walking around town in them. Happy feet all the way. I'm sold. 50 miles in and these shoes look and feel great on my feet. I did hill repeats in them this morning. I'm very happy with the way they respond. The UA HOVR™ Connected version links to the Map My Run app and gives you data on your runs. Cost is $110 for Connected; $100 for Non-connected. I hope this review helps you decide if you'd like to run in UA HOVR™ Sonics. See you at the starting line! #UARunningBR #UARunningShoes #UnderArmour #BibChat #BibRavePro #RunningShoes #ThisOldRunner #RunStPete #RunTampa #RunSarasota #RunBradenton #RunFlorida #SummerRunning #ShoeReview
I love protein bars, so I was happy to receive a variety of NuGo Egg White protein bars to taste and review. All my favorite flavors were in there: peanut butter, chocolate, maple pecan, and blueberry. #Winning! You Can Get NuGo Egg White Bars in 4 FlavorsNuGo Egg White protein bars are chewy. I like that so much better than crunchy bars. These egg white bars don't melt in the Florida heat. That's important to me for Summer training! Each bar is 50 grams. I found it to be the right size for me. I felt satiated after eating it. I also like that I could see the ingredients. The bars have real peanuts, dark chocolate, pecans, almonds, dates, cashews, blueberries, and sea salt in them.

Tasty, Portable Protein BarsAs part of my testing process, I used NuGo Egg White bars in lots of different situations. I ate the bars for a boost before, during, and after my workouts. I carried several in my bag so I had them ready when I was away from home and hungry. Below are a few more examples.

If you're looking for a way to ease the heat during your Summer training, give this ice necklace a try. My new #BibRave BUFF® reminded me of one of my favorite hot weather hacks for runners. A BUFF® is a knitted tube of technical fabric. There are lots of ways to wear a BUFF® to make it your own. Today, I'm using the kerchief style to create an ice necklace. There's a video version of this advice on my Instagram account. |
