I have been very lucky thanks to RER, but recently I convinced myself a new product was made specifically with me in mind. This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me!!! (Dramatic much?)
Yes, I know RER has allowed me to meet some of my favorite people…
(Yes, you too JackSht)
and have the most amazing experiences…
But, if you know 1 thing about me it’s probably that I love running
and I love eating –> watermelon. 
Well, I recently heard a rumor that my favorite hydration company, Nuun was formulating a flavor with RER in mind 
Nuun is making WATERMELON flavor!!!!!!
I died of happiness a little when I heard.
Then, I came back to life and tweeted them with my excitement. Thanks to luck (and probably RER) a few days later this showed up on my door step…
This is what their product usually looks like (below), so you can see by the packaging above it’s not even out yet! 
I personally like Nuun because I’m a very salty sweater and it has more potassium and sodium than other sports drinks. I bought these flavors at the RnR Phoenix expo this weekend. 
I tried the new Watermelon Nuun on my 8 mile run today and I love it!
Running + Drinking Watermelon Nuun =
Match made in RER Heaven. Love.
*Note: Nuun Watermelon is going to be a seasonal flavor so if/when you see it – snatch it up! Available in the Spring!
Question: What are you loving this week?
{ 36 comments… read them below or add one }
im loving botox this week. i mean, i wish i was. why cant it be like $50??
We should have a botox party, it would be very “OC” of us…
Yumm. I haven’t tried NUUN yet, but sine I’m starting to run longer distances, it’s on my list of things to try. Love watermelon <3.
Oh. My. Love.
I want! I also heard they were coming out with a Cherry Lime flavor…. I need them all. Right now. Winter running is hard. New Nuun flavors will make the most awesome reward.
I am extremely excited for the new nuun flavors! Hopefully they’ll sell so well they’re not seasonal at all!
Fresh strawberries with oats, Greek yogurt , nut butter layered nicely in a mason jar.. So delish and i feel cool when i eat out of a jar lol
I have to try Nuun! Everyone just raves about it & I just got an email from Nike that it is going to be the official hydration of the 1/2 marathon in DC.
It is totally made for you!!!! I’m loving the Paleo chili I made this week…warm and spicy on these freezing days! Oh and I just love Bob Harper!!
I’m a Nuun fan and have a feeling I’ll be a Watermelon Nuun fan when it comes out too!
I am loving Strawberries! Do they have strawberry flavor?!
They have a berry flavor, not sure if it’s straight up strawb…
I found strawberry lemonade! That’s good enough for me to click the purchase button!
I havent tried the NUUN, still trying to find what works for me, as I am just getting into longer runs.
I never even brought a water bottle with me on my runs, since they were never more than 4-5 miles.
I will now start to!
Do you know if NUUN has ‘sample’ tablets to try, or only the full tube?
I am pretty sure I’ve seen sample tabs at Road Runner events. They are packed like an alka-seltzer. They are also at a lot of expos and have big containers filled with Nuun so you can try a bunch of flavors!
Good lord! I’m pretty sure Bob and I are the same person!
Just started using NUUN and LOVE it. Can’t wait to try the watermelon when it comes out!

I’m loving the return of sweater weather in Socal- I’m not quite ready to bust out the shorts yet. Oooh! And my new blog layout
Sounds yummy! That’s the only melon flavor I like though, cantelope and honey dew would make me go Blehh!
Yay! I’ve never had nuun before, but I love all kinds of watermelon tasting candies, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy it. Now I’m craving watermelon, if only it was warm out and summer…
Why do I not like NUUN? I have tried only one flavor…pink lemonade…is that the problem? Surely I am not making it wrong!
Amy–You should definitely try some other flavors. I love Nuun but don’t like all of the flavors. My favorites are fruit punch, lemon-lime, tri-berry, and grape. I also like to use 1/2 a tab of lemon-lime and 1/2 tab of tri-berry!! So good! Hopefully at your next race expo Nuun will be there and you can try all of the flavors.
I think I tried NUUN once at a race expo but didn’t really like it. Maybe I just need to find a flavor that I like. I don’t really drink sport drinks, though maybe I should to get enough electrolytes and whatnot. It definitely would have helped me last summer when I was training in the 100 degree heat. I was my own salt-making machine.
I’m loving the weather this week! We had surprise snow shower yesterday, and got a light dusting of snow. It was very cold earlier this week, but today, it warmed up, so my run this afternoon was quite pleasant.
OMG I love watermelon flavored everything! Can’t wait to start using it when it comes out!!!
I’m loving that it is a short week! Also, absolutely loving the cold front
I’m NOT loving this cold Indiana weather but I am loving that I get to drink hot chocolate because of it.
Everyone raves about NUUN so I bought a bottle of the tablets (tri-berry flavored) and sadly did not like it. For one thing it was too fizzy for me. I don’t drink anything carbonated or sparkling anymore so that might have been the reason. Wonder if I were to let it go “flat” then I’d like it better. I’d like to try a different flavor (that strawberry lemonade that someone mentioned sounds good) but don’t want to make the commitment of another bottle (it’s a little pricey).
Have you ever consumed it flat?
Yeah, but I actually prefer a lot of bubbles so I don’t like it flat.
I am loving chocolate. But that is no different than any other week.
I am also loving that one month from RIGHT NOW we will be in NOLA!
I can’t wait!!!!
I’m laughing because you called yourself a salty sweater! I guess “sweater” is a funny word for a clothing item, isn’t it?
Ha!
Watermelon sounds so good! I have to get some when it comes out!
Public holiday today (Thursday) – it’s a nice break to the work week; wish it was a day off every Wednesday or Thursday.
I absolutely love anything watermelon and can’t wait to try them! Thanks for the heads up that they will only be seasonal too.
I am so excited for the new flavors!!
What exactly is Nuun? I am a baby beginner runner and I dont know about all these things yet
Wow!! That’s Awesome!! I can’t wait to try it!!
