StrideBox: April box review

Today is a special post!  I am going to be showing off a new (to me) product!  A month ago I started seeing this company pop up on Twitter and Facebook.  I read up on the company and really was intrigued by what they offered, so I decided to take the leap.  I signed up for the monthly box subscription called StrideBox.  For $15 a month, they send you a box of full sized samples of items geared towards the needs of the runner.  Whether if be fuels, pre- or post- run nutrition or even objects that help make running more enjoyable.

I was so excited to get in on the subscription before they had to start a waiting list (doh!), but that is a good sign for the company when you have to start a waiting list for people wanting your product.  KUDOS!  So needless to say I was crazy excited when I saw this box arrive on Friday.

Momentum Monday: Peanut Gallery

Monday is here again.  Another beginning to another week.  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  I know mine was full of rest and relaxation to help my back continue to heal.  It is much, much better than it was a week ago, but still no where near 100%.  This is just going to force me to take it easy for another week to let my back recoup.  I'm hoping to get into a chiropractor today for an adjustment too.  I know some people are not fans of chiros, but I know my back and hip situation and I'm confident than an adjustment will help the recovery process for my back and keep me from re-injuring.

So during my process of recovery from this injury I came across some interesting information.

Feedback.

Or rather "comments from the peanut gallery".  So when I saw this below, I knew I had to talk about it today for Momentum Monday.

"The Jam" Thursday - What is blowing up my iPod

Thankful it's Thursday, is my mantra today!  I have tomorrow off (I love my schedule of every other Friday off!) and I'm going to try and get in for a massage and adjustment tomorrow in hopes that it will help with my back pain.

So in the meantime, let's get some music up in this joint!  We need some feel good music to get into the weekend mood!  Today's "jam" is a newer song and it's ALL OVER the airwaves.  A great first release from his 3rd and long awaited album, you can't help but want to move when you hear this song!  So without further ado, today's "jam" is:

Learning when to take it easy

I don't know about you, but I find it easier to spread helpful knowledge and advice, than actually take and implement it.  I know, I know, the whole "practice what you preach" issue always comes to mind, but I just can't help it, I'm bull-headed, it's in my nature.

I am injured right now and there is no rhyme or reason to it.  I didn't fall or pick up something the wrong way, or even overwork something to the point of injury.

Momentum Monday: Good Mood!

Good Morning All!!!  Welcome to Monday AND the first day of April!!!  I can't believe it is April already, is it just me or is this year FLYING by?!?  Don't worry, there will be no April Fools Joke from me, I've never been a fan of practical jokes or making people feel bad for my own amusement.  Today is business as usual and Momentum Monday! 

Today's quote was very much true for me this weekend and need to be a constant reminder to me when I'm feeling stressed or upset about life.
