Knockaround Sunglasses in Teal GeodeTeal Geode with Smoke Lenses. That's the name of the sunglasses I'm testing for Knockaround. OMG, I love the name. Teal Geode is a great color, and it reminds me of a dear old friend who collected geodes. So there's that. But, there's more.  Every pair is shipped with a cloth drawstring cover.

These shades are lightweight and stay on my face. That's really important when I'm running. There's not much worse than glasses that slide off your face. The Fast Lanes worked for running and walking around town. Doing yard work. Reading a book outside. Or driving here, there, and everywhere.
They're just right for people like me who wear sunglasses every single day. And, if I was the kind of person who needed lots of different pairs of glasses, in lots of different frame and lens combos, Knockaround could deliver. In budget. The Fast Lanes start at $20. At that price, if I'm on a boat and lose them overboard I'd be very sad, but not devastated. I could easily afford to replace them.  Have you ever tried to read outside on a sunny day without sunglasses? It stinks. Put on Knockaround shades and you'll be fine. Just fine.

The larger lenses are good for protecting my eyes from the sun, and from flying debris when I work in the yard. I like the color and lens options, and the price point. I'm really happy I was able to test them. I'm even happier that I get to keep wearing them. I don't know if Fast Lanes make me look fast. But, I do feel fast running in them! #KnockaroundBR #Knockaround #FastLanes #Sunglasses #BibRavePro #BibChat #KnocksonaRun #KnocksonDogs #Shades #RunFlorida #DiscountCode #BrandDiscount #KnockaroundDiscount Want to know what other Bib Rave Pros thought about Knockaround Fast Lanes?

SAVE $50 on the Trekz Air Adventurer BundleHey guys, I want to let you know that there's a new AfterShokz Trekz Air discount available. If you haven't tried these awesome bone-conduction headphones, consider them. I wear mine constantly whether I'm running, rowing, walking, mowing, or doing deskwork. They keep a charge for over 6 hours. Here's a Reminder of How They Look (Photo credit: AfterShokz and This Old Runner) These headphones loop over your ears and rest on the bone in front of your ear. That means your ear is open and listening to the sounds around you. I run a lot in the city so it's important to me that I can hear all the different kinds of traffic. You can hear your music or podcast while you're running, but you also know when a dog or bike or car is coming. Anyway, the bundle discount is a whopping $50 bucks off, plus you get extra stuff:
Use "BRBUNDLE" for $50 OFFGo to https://bibrave.aftershokz.com/ and pick your headphone color. Don't forget to enter the code BRBUNDLE at checkout to get your discount. Enjoy!

Energy Bites for Workouts and RacesI'm reporting in on Food Groove Mission's superfood bites. I get to test them as part of being a BibRave Pro. It's year two for me as a BRP, and I'm very happy about that! I'm also very happy about these superfood bites. I received a box of three flavors:
I thought I would have a favorite, but I like all three. The Holy Truffle Punch tastes like dessert. Mother Earth and Nutty Adventurer are less sweet, but equally delicious. Organic medjool dates are the first ingredient in all three. I love dates!  Decisions. Decisions. It's hard to choose! The good news is each package is resealable. That means you can mix and match. (Photo credit: This Old Runner)
How I Used Food Groove Mission BitesFull disclosure: Day one, I opened the box and ate a whole bag of Holy Truffle Punch bites for lunch. I'm really not sorry about that. They tasted great and are full of nutrients.
Next, I settled into a routine. I ate half a bag before my long runs, then finished it as a post workout snack. The bites are just the right size. Eat 5 and you feel satiated, but not full. After a run, the remaining bites are a nice protein boost. It also kept me from eating something less healthy post-run. Fuel for the Best Damn Race Half MarathonA couple of Saturdays ago I ran the Best Damn Race Safety Harbor half marathon. It was my first half in almost a year. It was important to have steady fuel throughout the race. I like gels for a quick burst of energy, but I wanted to try Food Groove Mission bites on race day. I knew they were easy on my stomach from training. My race shorts have lots o' pockets, so transportation wasn't an issue. My only concern was if it would be easy to swallow the bites while running. Sometimes I freak myself out thinking I can't drink or swallow when I'm breathing hard. You've heard of the water choke at aid stations, right? On race morning I ate half a bag of Mother Earth before the race. I made a mental note to fuel when I reached mile 5 and 10. It was a warm, humid morning, so I got water and Gatorade at the aid stations. The superfood bites worked great for me. I wasn't hungry, but I ate a couple at mile 5 to refuel. Swallowing was easy. Chewed the bite, and drank a sip of water after. I was fine. No coughing or choking. Ditto at mile 10. I felt good at the finish.
