Hi all! 
So we all know it’s MIRRORLESSMONDAY
& today I AM so proud of my best friend SARAH!!
Check her out representing her BN SHAPE sports bra!
My reason for being so proud;
she completed her SECOND Marathon and shaved 9 minutes off of her time from last year!
She ran 26.2 miles in 3 hours & 39 minutes!!
Honestly, so PROUD of her!
She is a true inspiration.
I plan on doing a whole post on her story, can’t wait to share!
best part about this day,
I met her at mile 10 (Starbucks) to hand her an iced coffee!
LITERALLY as I walked out of starbucks, she ran by!
It was coffee best friend fate.
I handed her an iced coffee with stevia & off she went!!
Here’s a video of my reaction…I’m a nerd.
Then my mom & I headed down to the finish line to see her finish!
Warning: turn your volume down, MAMACAKES & I were a little excited
After the race, we made sure to have a berry POWERCAKE ,
some trader joes Cookie Butter, & some SHARKIES all ready for her to demolish.
Couldn’t be more proud of my amazing best friend!!
So speaking of SHARKIES® ,
they were nice enough to send me some awesome goodies
& also share them with you!!
*Me & my awesome BPA FREE Sharkies® water bottle!
filled with my apple cider vinegar drink
*1 TB ACV, with 1 tsp cinnamon & 10-20 drops of stevia!
Today I also added lemon juice as well.
It was so refreshing on this 78 degree day!
Anyway, a little about Sharkies®
Sharkies Inc. was founded in 2003 by a triathlete who was looking for an Organic
product that could be used for his training and that also tasted great.

and healthy snacking will help people feel better and live longer. [source]
I love what this company stands for!

For your giveaway this was the toughest decision–naming the Sharkies product I was most interested in trying. I’m torn between the Watermelon Scream Chews and the Tropical Wave Smart Twists but if I REALLY had to decide I’d go with Watermelon Scream! Completed all of the contest requirements & optional participation. I hope I get to try out these bad boy Sharkies products! Thanks for posting about them

The Sharkies energy chews look great. I used Hammer Nutrition (which is all natural) this year at the half and it one of the only things that didn’t upset my stomach. I’m hoping Sharkies would do the same. Again, big congrats! PGH Marathon is the best!!!! Runner of Steel right there!
