I want to jump-start all your New Year fitness resolutions with a care package of some of my favorite things. Whether you are planning to run your first 5k in 2013 or complete your 100th marathon, these little goodies will help you get to the finish line just a little easier. It’s my New Year gift to one of you! Enter below on the Rafflecopter form to win this assortment of sporty stuff.

- FuelBelt – Super-Stretch Waist Pack in Blue ready to hold your race-day necessities like a phone, keys, nutrition gels and girl stuff.
- Slacklaces – “The Flexible Shoe Lace” in Pink are an inventive way to tie up your sneakers. Don’t just lace them up old-school though; check out my old post on special techniques to lace shoes that alleviates problems like heel slip, smushed big toes, and such.
- Nuun Active Hydration Tablets – Enjoy one tube of 12 tablets in the Tropical flavor. If you haven’t used Nuun before, you’ll love it. Drop one tab into a bottle of water and it fizzes up without stirring to provide you an on-the-go electrolyte drink without any sugar.
- Sports Legs: Supplements to reduce lactic acid build-up and minimize post-race soreness (5-tablet supply which is enough for one marathon). I have used these a few times with some success, definitely less sore the next day. The company told me they would make my legs feel 15 years younger, now if only the rest of my body follow suit.
