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.

Have you ever gotten a blister during a race? I have. When you get a blister in the middle of a race you don't want to stop. Most runners I know choose to run through the pain — all the way to the finish line. A better plan is to prevent the blister from happening in the first place. Let's look at why blisters happen to runners, and how to stop the madness! Then, we'll talk about how to treat blisters if you still get them.

If your socks move back and forth, your shoes rub, or your underarm passes back and forth over a rough seam, you'll get blisters. Blisters on feet usually show up on the toes, heel, and ball of the foot. Some blisters don't hurt. Others are very painful. Sometimes the blister bursts during your run. When you check your feet later, you have a painful raw spot. Most blisters caused by friction will heal in a few days. Some are more serious. If you have a fever, nausea or chills with an especially painful blister call the doctor. You may have an infection. How to Prevent Blisters on Your FeetIf you want to stop blisters from happening, you have to be proactive. First, get shoes that fit properly. Make sure there's plenty of room for your toes or you'll get black toenails. Black toenails happen when your toe thumps against the front of your shoe with each step. A blood blister forms under the nail which makes it look black. The second most important thing is to keep your feet dry. The best way to do that is by wearing moisture-wicking socks made for athletes. Specialty running socks reduce moisture and protect your feet. Don't skimp. Moisture-wicking socks are worth the price. Stay away from cotton. Cotton soaks up the moisture and promotes blisters. Another option is to wear two pairs of socks. Doubling up reduces friction and adds cushion.
Powders and CreamsAnother option is to douse your feet with a silicone-based foot powder. You pour it into your socks. The powder creates a smooth surface on your foot to prevent friction. You can also find creams and deodorant-style lubricant sticks. You can coat your foot to lower or eliminate friction. Tape, patches, creams, and powders stop chafing in prone areas like feet, inner thighs, sports bras, and underarms. How to Treat a BlisterIf your blister isn't too painful, leave it alone. Let it heal on its own. Cover small blisters with a patch, (like the KT Tape® Blister Treatment Patch). If you think popping the blister is best, follow these steps:
The fact is, blisters happen to runners. If you get one, treat it fast. Otherwise, follow your preventative plan to minimize your chances. Save 30% Plus a Full Product ReviewSo far, I like KT Tape® Blister Prevention Tape and KT Tape® Blister Treatment Patches. I used the patch after burning my finger on the stove on Taco Tuesday.
