knee pain, moving forward, Novo Renew, real life adventures, running

Pi day miles

Woohoo it’s Friday eve! Thank goodness because my patience is wearing a little thin this week. My goal was to get 3.14 miles in for “Pi day” or is it “Pie” day? LOL, I have heard discussions of both on the talk show listen to on my way home, so I suppose why not celebrate both?!?

Unfortunately the temps got the best of me, and I was trying to push my speed a little since my knees are feeling so great since taking Novo Renew (<–check out the link). I ran the first mile in around 10:30 and the second mile in 10:14 (mind you it was a real feel of 88 degrees outside) and I could feel the sun beating down on me and decided I would cut it short by a mile. Let me tell you what, my knees really didn’t hurt at all. Sure, a little wiggle here and there, but heck I’ve been running for 30 years so that’s expected!

 

How was your day? Did you celebrate with Pie, or some Pi miles? Interested in learning more about an all natural way for pain relief in your knees/joints? Click HERE!!

moving forward, Novo Renew

Exciting opportunity

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a company to try out their product that was not only all natural, but good for anti-inflammatory as well as aiding in bone and collagen health. The company is Novo Renew, and I talked a little about it yesterday.

Because we sure don’t want THIS to happen, LOL

As a middle aged runner, my knees and joints aren’t what they used to be, so I jumped at the chance to give it a try.

The product contains 8 natural ingredients which include:

Inflammation modulation
Boswellia Extract
Frutiex-B (calcium fructoborate)

Joint and soft tissue protection and maintenance
MSM (calcium fructoborate)
UCII Type 2 Undernatured Collagen
Vitamin D

Immune Modulation
Bromelain
Trypsin
Rutin

I started taking it about a week ago, to give my time to adjust to it before the Gasparilla half marathon which was yesterday, read about it here in case you missed it! I could almost immediately see a difference. The pain in my knees were dramatically less, and I can honestly say I ran the race yesterday, “knee pain” free. That, my friends, is HUGE. So much so, that when the folks at Novo Renew gave me the opportunity to be an affiliate, I decided to JUMP at the chance. My affiliate link can be found HERE! And if you use my link, use the code “Michelle25” and you’ll receive 25% off of your order.

SO, what do you get? For around $29.00 you get a month’s supply of supplements. The daily dose is 2 capsules per day, (which are very easy to swallow) with food. Novo Renew suggests taking with breakfast or lunch, as many people feel an energy boost after taking Novo. Too easy, right!!!??? Think of all of the money you’ve spent on NSAID’s which have terrible side effects such as high blood pressure, kidney damage and severe GI problems. Here is what it would cost for you to buy all of the supplements in Novo separately, which shows $29.00 is a great price!

Collagen UC-II-60 capsules, $22
Boswellia Serrata-60 capsules, $16
Vitamin D-60 capsules, $4
Bromelain-60 capsules, 16
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)-60 capsules, $8
Fruitex B (calcium fructoborate)-60 capsules, $12
Rutin-60 capsules, $12
Trypsin-60 capsules, $18
Total=$108 (The prices above represent an average price for each of these natural supplements. There may be slightly cheaper options – and there are also much more expensive options – for each.)

Lastly, they offer a 30 day money back guarantee, so you REALLY can’t go wrong!!! What are you waiting for? Click HERE and don’t forget to use Michelle25 at check out to get your 25% off (which is the $29 price)!!!

Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions. If I don’t know the answer, I will make sure to find the answer for you ASAP. Also, please share with anyone you may know that is suffering from knee/joint issues. Thanks!!

half marathon training, knee pain, moving forward

Gasparilla half marathon, 2019

My husband I decided shortly after running the Disney wine and dine half marathon that we wanted to run another half. We hadn’t properly trained for that half due to good old general life, so we thought, “Let’s do it right this time.” We signed up for the Gasparilla half marathon and started training shortly there after. I had a good 6 or 7 weeks of training until NYE came, and I came down with a 5 week case of bronchitis. I only made it to a 9 mile long run, and I was nervous going in to this race.

We went out to eat with some of our neighborhood runners last night, and after several hiccups in the evening, we didn’t get home until 10 PM. Not ideal when we still had to finish laying our stuff out for the race, AND we had a 3:30 wake up call this morning.

But, we got our outfits laid out, and the morning went off without a hitch. I took my Novorenew (get yours by using discount code of Michelle25 at check out; click link) which I’ve found to help my knee and joint pain tremendously since I’ve started taking it!!! I highly recommend it. We arrived at the convention center within 45 minutes, and had plenty of time to park, apply sunscreen, and do last minute adjustments before meeting up with our neighbors who were also running the race.

Our sub-2 neighbors took off for their corral, and we went to ours to line up to start. I had already given my blessing to my husband to run his own race, so shortly after the start gun went off an we made it about a quarter of a mile in, and he smiled and waved and I was running my own race.

I’ve gone back and forth with solo running, sometimes loving it, and sometimes hating it because I get stuck inside my own head when I am alone, and every now and then I can’t get unstuck. Today, thankfully, wasn’t that day. While I am not the runner I once was, and running in Florida heat is rough, I know eventually I’ll get my speed back.

The race was well organized, had some great spots for spectators, and I even got the high five Meb at around the 8 mile mark, as well as getting a photo with him at the end. Official finish time was 2:31 which is far from my best, but definitely not my worst.

Here’s some photos from the day!!

Cheers and keep movin’ forward!!
