Thank You Good Greens!
The most magnificent packages showed up on my door the other day — 3 fabulous flavors of Good Greens Bars!
It just takes one a moment to flip through their press page on their website to realize how amazing these things are! Glamour Magazine raves…
“They’re 50 calories and filled with stuff like dairy free dark chocolate, wheatgrass juice, green tea extract, acai berry, and (of course) raspberries—but taste kind of like mini berry brownies.”
The Chocolate Raspberry are pretty tasty - but in my mind the Chocolate Peanut Butter and the Chocolate Coconut take the cake! So tasty and only 50 calories.
Um, and did I mention — 100% of your daily fruit and veggies! How great is that!
We are so happy to have Good Greens on board with us for the race and so excited that everyone will be receiving a sample in their goodie bags!
They have the right nutrition elements and are even vegan, gluten free, low sugar, organic — and full of antioxidants and probiotics!
Once you try them — you’ll be converted!

Thank You Honest Tea!
We just got word that Honest Tea is going to be a sponsor at this year’s 5K! We couldn’t be more excited!
They keep it simple and natural at Honest Tea and what is better than that? Imagine finishing a long hard run, sweating out toxins like crazy — just to put more in!? ugh!
Not with Honest Tea or Ade — they do it right!
Check this out:
- They have sky high levels of antioxidants because unlike other tea brands, Honest Tea uses real tea leaves to make their brews! Check out this article in Men’s Health.
- They are Fair Trade and USDA Organic.
- And unlike other brands (are you seeing the trend?!) they give options of tasty treats with way less sugar!
- And let’s not forget their sustainability and health measures that go above and beyond! They use PET bottles are fully recyclable (PETE 1), Phthalates free, don’t leach, and require less energy to produce and ship. Additionally, they are not made with the chemical Bisphenol A (BPA). The same is true for our Honest Kids’ drink pouches.
Such a great company that is doing great things with their brand and in the community! How could you not support a company like this!
Get Your Rear in Gear has a few a favorites we’d like to share with you!

“Chemobath” for Colon Cancer Evaluated at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center
As part of a multicenter clinical trial, surgical oncologists at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center are comparing the effectiveness of standard chemotherapy to a tri-modality approach to halt advanced colon cancers. The objective is to determine if there is a difference in survival rates between patients who receive intravenous (IV) anti-cancer drugs or a combination of IV drugs in addition to surgery and a procedure called hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, more commonly known as HIPEC or “chemobath.” (More)

Great News!
Great news!
Just found out we got a sponsorship with product from the one and only…
Which is great for so so so so many reasons! Lip balm is a must for me - I am cursed to have been born with dry eyes, dry skin, and you guessed it - dry lips. I know you may be thinking “Geez woman, just drink some water!” its not always that easy. Long story short, I’m never thirsty and well, just plain forgetful sometimes.
But, thank goodness, I always carry a purse full of lip balms to prevent me from looking like I’ve been wandering in the dessert for days.
My personal favorite is Blistex Sleek & Shine… well because it makes my lips sleek and shiny… and because it tastes / smells like sweet tart candies. yum!
Oh and another thing… A FANTASTIC THING… Blistex is making a point to initiate green and sustainable business practices! And to be honest, as a consumer this is one of the most paramount criteria for when I purchase products. So I am so happy to have the Blistex team involved in the race!
Thank you so much from the Boston GYRIG squad!
