I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it....Why you ask!? Because I am running Hood-To-Coast with NUUN! Two years ago, while blog hopping, I came across a blog of one of the runners on the 2011 Hood-To-Coast team, which lead me to several other blogs, which lead me to NUUN, and thus started my addiction with NUUN and twitter!
You might be asking why this is such a big deal:
1) Hood to Coast is the “mother of all relays.” This 200-mile long relay has runners start at the Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood and then, over the course of 36 different legs (each runner runs three legs) you finish on the sandy shores of the Pacific in Seaside, Oregon. Pretty epic, no doubt.
2) I was selected to join the team, along with 19 other bloggers, runners, fabulous women from across the country.
3) Not only is their product one of my favorites {if you aren't familiar with NUUN, click here} the company and the people who work for the company are truly fabulous.
It's a know fact that you can't do EPIC alone, so check out the rest of the team:

Mason, Chief Hydration Officer for NUUN, summed up what the whole relay experience is truly about:
"Having a fantastic experience and walking away with a new set of amazing friends, a giant love of relays, lifelong memories, and a smile on your face."
Speaking of having a smile on your face...
I met up with Leslie at the Rock N Roll Portland 1/2 marathon
