Stride Box: June Review

I am a new runner.  I started running May 1st to train for my first half marathon.  I am up to 3-4 miles and I thought I should try a running box.  I am pretty unfamiliar with running gear and products.  Stridebox sends out a box of acessories, gear and nutritional products every month for $15.00.  They do not have a referral program or any promo codes that I could find. Here is my box This is how the box came Contents: Skratch Labs Exercise Hydration Mix-Lemon/Lime.  This is an all natural sport drink mix.  It sells for $1.95 a package. Pocket Fuel-Almond Butter with Kick Banana Blueberry.  This is 100% natural whole food.  This sells for $27.50/10 pouches ( $2.75 a pouch) Blue Steel Sports-Anti Chafe Cream with Tea Tree Oil Non-Greasy, Non sticky cream creates a protective anti-friction layer.  This sells for $6.99/6 pouches ($2.33 for the 2 of these) Electro Delytes Energy and Electrolyte Citrus Bars Electrolytes, simple carbs and no caffeine in this tasty energy bar.  Consume before or during activity for sustained energy.  Sells for $2.25 a package Power Ice Frozen, Refreshing Ice Bar with Electrolytes Sells for $8.99 for 6 bars (This makes these 2 worth $3.00) Lock Laces-No Tie Athletic Shoelace System Elastic laces and special locking mechanism keep your shoes snug.

Stork Stack: June 2013: Picnic Party!

This is my second month with Stork Stack.  I wasn’t blown away with my May box, and I was hoping June would be better.  I was really happy with my June box.  My box was for a 14 1/2 month old boy “T”. This month’s theme was picnic party and I thought Stork Stack really kept with the theme.  Stork Stack ships their boxes from Chicago, IL on the first of the month.  I was really happy to get my box today (June 3), since the 1st was a Saturday.  I live in Indiana, to give you an idea on shipping times.
