As someone who's been running for... well, many moons now, over the years I've come to develop a fondness for certain brands that have worked well for me and my training. Running, like most sports, contains a plethora of products, all of which are subjective and truly based on personal preference. What works for me, may not work for you.
Earlier this year, I started incorporating Honey Stinger products into my training. Honey Stinger has been around for years, and it was one of those brands that had marginally been on my radar, back when I started training for my first full marathon in 2013. At the time, I found a few things that worked for me, and, admittedly, was a little scared to start experimenting with something new. Fast forward to 2016, and with training for my third marathon looming on the horizon, I decided that I was ready to try new things. Enter, the Honey Stinger caramel waffle and energy chews. (Seriously, those waffles though...)
At the beginning of October, I saw that Honey Stinger was opening their applications for 2017 Brand Ambassadors. I debated. I hemmed. I hawed. And then I just said, what do I have to lose, and I applied. I'll be honest, never in a million years did I even think that I would be chosen. Me? Me! I don't run a 7, or even 8, minute mile. I'm not one of those people that can go out and make even a 10 mile run look easy. I struggle, sometimes a lot. But a runner is who I am, and who I will always be.
So if ever a blog post were to have a "moral" to it, I guess it would be this: believe in what you do, and others will believe you as well. Oh. And try those waffles. Like, now. You're welcome.
