One of the best parts of being a BibRave Pro is testing new-to-me products. Right now, I'm testing Science in Sport REGO Rapid Recovery powder. I've used sports specific fuels in the past while training and racing. But this is the first time I've used a post-workout recovery drink. I really (really!) like it, and I'll tell you why. It Tastes GoodI've been using the chocolate and strawberry. I mix the powder with water as instructed, and drink. It's smooth, not chalky, and no clumps! Honestly, a couple of times I've thought about mixing up a second shake. It tastes that good. I'm looking forward to tasting the vanilla flavor. I Feel Better, FasterI've used REGO for my long runs and intense workouts. If I run for more than an hour, workout in intense heat or do hill repeats/speed work, I drink REGO Rapid Recovery. I try to drink it within 30-60 minutes of finishing my workout. It's working well for me. I'm excited because I'm ramping up my training for a two-day triple challenge in early February. I've noticed less fatigue and less muscle soreness. Disclaimer: I received SiS REGO Rapid Recovery as part of being a BibRave Pro.

You shake or stir a powder and it won't mix. I don't know how they do it, but REGO powder in the shaker with the grater insert mixes and blends so easy. I've done water first and added powder, and vice versa, and it always mixes completely with no clumps. I appreciate that. No one wants a ball of powder on their tongue in the middle of a drink. So good job on that Science in Sport! I Can Replenish and HydrateREGO Rapid Recovery is made with Soy protein. That makes me happy since I'm vegetarian. Carbs, vitamins, electrolytes, and minerals round out the ingredients. It's a total win for replenishing nutrients and hydrating post-workout.

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.

UA HOVR Sonics First Impressions During a Walkabout
I wore my new HOVR Sonics around the house for a day as a first look. They're very light weight. The heel of the shoe has extra support, but the part that touches my ankle is flexible and soft.
I love that the tongue is attached to the footbed with super stretchy wings. I noticed right away that the tongue didn't move to the left or right. I like that a lot.
The shoe has tons of ventilation. The mesh upper looks like it will perform well in the Florida heat.

I'm so excited to run in these. I'll let you know how they look, feel, and perform after I put some Summer miles on them! Check back at the end of July for my full review.

I’m testing a BRAND NEW egg white protein bar by NuGo Nutrition. Maple Pecan just took first place in my smell and taste test! And yes, I just ate a protein bar for dessert. I wanted something sweet, yet healthy. Mission accomplished! Disclaimer: I received NuGo Nutrition Egg White Protein Bars 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! So far I’ve tested NuGo® Egg White Bars on the trail, for breakfast, coffee break, afternoon snack, post run, and now as dessert. I’m a protein bar connoisseur. Yeah, it’s a thing! A lot of protein bars are brittle or taste like cardboard. These bars travel well and stay fresh. I like the texture. They taste like peanut butter, maple pecan, blueberry, and dark chocolate — just like the package says. Get a Discount on 4 Tasty Flavors!Yes, Maple Pecan is leading my taste test right now. But that could change. I have to say, I'm already a fan of all four flavors. Stay tuned for my full review in a few weeks!
