I’ve been stalking my email the majority of this week. \u00a0You’ve heard of stalking your mailman when you’re waiting for a package, right? \u00a0Well,visualize me refreshing my email a zillion times a day waiting for a certain email to come.<\/p>\n

That was me starting Monday through yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Tailwind Nutrition was going to be announcing the names of their Trailblazers towards the end of February and I was on pins and needles waiting to hear if I had made it. \u00a0The suspense was killing me!<\/p>\n

\"17022163_1247695012017299_2030983383507794438_n\"<\/a>*me when I wasn’t refreshing my email. \u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Knowing me for the calm, cool and collected person I am (not!), I’m sure you can imagine the huge ‘WHOOP!” and “Woo-Hoo!!!” that I let loose when I opened this email:<\/p>\n

Welcome to the 2017 Trailblazer Team!<\/p>\n

Hi Melinda, \u00a0\u00a0We are excited to announce that you have been selected as a Tailwind Trailblazer for 2017!<\/p>\n

YAY!!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I tried Tailwind about a year ago. \u00a0I knew I needed to figure out my nutrition for my 100 Miler and all the marathons I was running. \u00a0The fueling I had been using (gels and chomps), they just weren’t doing the job. \u00a0By the end of a marathon, if I ever saw another gel it would be too soon. \u00a0LOL!!!<\/p>\n

The reality that my fueling would be detrimental to my uber long Ultra’s hit home. \u00a0I HAD to figure this out. \u00a0That’s when I heard about Tailwind and decided to give it a try.<\/p>\n

GAMECHANGER!!!<\/p>\n

It was a night and day difference in my running and energy levels and my tummy loved it! \u00a0I haven’t looked back.<\/p>\n

I am a very happy runner!<\/p>\n

So, when I opened that email? \u00a0I was over the moon excited! \u00a0The opportunity to be associated with this product was waaaayy more than I ever thought I’d have the privilege to do.<\/p>\n

I am #blessed.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Tailwind!!!<\/p>\n
