RUNNERBOX Review & Giveaway

Mondays can be tough for all of us; runners and non-runners alike.  It's the start of the work week, we're tired from all the (quality) time with the kids over the week-end, we have to run an 18 miler (well, I do); blah, blah, blah.  You get the point.  So, this Monday, I'd like to make your day a little brighter by introducing RUNNERBOX.  This is a company I discovered through fellow runner and blogger, Yo Mama Runs.  She posted about it over the holidays and I instantly reached out to the company to both a) tell them how cool their product was and b) see if I could review and share it with RWM readers in some way.

Looks so good you almost don't want to open it.  Almost....

In a nutshell, RUNNERBOX is a package of running related treats that arrives at your door every other month.  It includes goodies such as protein shakes, nutrition bars, energy gels and chews and other similar accessories.  The company seeks out the latest and greatest products from brands that are tried and true to companies that are on the rise and presents them to you in a tidy little box.  They were generous enough to send me a sample and when I opened mine I felt like a little kid rummaging through my pumpkin on Halloween. I had an ear to ear grin as I slowly picked through all of the goodies in my box and placed them out on the table to see what I got.                 

And here's the TREASURE!  Can you feel me smiling?

If one little box did all of this for me, imagine getting one of these boxes every other month?  Exactly.  Better yet, imagine your friend, who's a runner and loves this stuff as much as you do, getting one of these puppies every other month.  Clearly you will be the best gift giver EVER.

TOP 5 REASONS TO GIVE AND/OR RECEIVE RUNNERBOX:

              1. You just want one, dammit.

              2. Give it as a birthday present (to a friend, a spouse, a sibling, etc.).

              3. Give it as a"good luck on your next race" present to your running friend.
              4. Give it as an anniversary gift (to husband or wife).

              5. Send it as a "thank you for being so awesome" present to 
                  anyone who deserves it.

In truth, we don't really need an excuse to treat ourselves to running related products that will hopefully enhance and support our running needs.  But how nice it is that someone is willing to do this for us and to make it this ridiculously easy.  There are several ways to give or receive a RUNNERBOX.  You can order a single box as one shot deal, you can order it as a full subscription which gets you a box every other month for a year or you can give the RUNNERBOX GIFT of 3 boxes for 6 months.  There's even a TRIBOX gift for the triathlete in your life.

 So, here's the sweet part.  Thanks to the good people of RUNNERBOX, one lucky reader can receive the RUNNERBOX Gift (6 months/3 boxes) for themselves or to give to a friend.  Yee-haw!  (Not to worry, no one will tell if you keep it for yourself)
