Autumn = Pumpkin Goodness

If you are enjoying the pumpkin-flavored goodies lately but feeling guilty about the high calorie intake try this. It's Bolthouse Farms Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Latte. This stuff tastes sooo good! What I really enjoy about this is it only has 1 gram of saturated fat in a 8oz cup. It's gluten free and has about 7 grams of protein! Really good to start your day. It's for a limited time and it comes in 32 and 52 oz bottles.

Dr. Scholl's® For Him Active Series®

           For me, running is just amazing. I love the endorphin rush you get after running for miles like a mad-man. Plus the benefits of an active hobby resonates throughout your life and your well-being. In high-school, I had so much trouble accomplishing a 1-mile jog during PE class. I am now in my twenties. After months of conditioning by body, I am now able to run 5 miles without any hesitation.
       
           In order to continue my progress on the road to fitness, I received a special tool complimentary from +Influenster. I am a proud owner of #DrScholls For Him Active Series insoles that came in the @InfluensterVox Box. This is my secret weapon to getting through my daily run.

#ActiveSeries

         I have been using these insoles and so far these guys have been wonderful for my feet. Dr. Scholls did an excellent job. It's designed with Triple Zone Protection for the ball of the foot, arch and heel. When I placed them into my running shoes, I definitely noticed a comfortable feeling around the ball of my foot- very spacious than usual but supportive. 

          Three miles into a good run, I have a tendency to get a little aggressive with my strides when I hit the ground because it helps me to push through the workout. While wearing these, I noticed that my feet did not have that usual "they're going to explode from the shock" sensation. They were pleasantly hitting the pavement/treadmill belt. According to the Dr. Scholls website these reduce shock by 40%.

         

           In addition, I have had a history of shin splints and these #ActiveSeries insoles have been nothing but kind to them. They help to relieve and prevent pain from shin splints, runner's knee and plantar fasciitis.

           Another component of this product that I wasn't aware of is it contains a SweatMax Technology tha helps to reduce foot odor. In terms of this feature, I have not tested it because I'm not interested to smell my sneakers after a long run but it's nice to know that they incorporated that into the design. What I usually do immediately after a run, which I believe is a good tip is to place a fabric softener sheet into the sneakers to mask any odor diffusion.

           Another good tip after a run is to hydrate! You should always keep your body hydrated with plenty of fluids. I usually have a banana and a 8 ounce cup of water.

         Overall, these #ActiveSeries insoles by #DrScholls have been a great addition to my daily runs. Thank you +Influenster @InfluensterVox for sending these out to me for free. After receiving these, I am a happy runner who is able to run 6 miles within an hour. #RoadToFitness
