Hello!

I’m Sarah Mac. I’m a writer, mom, runner. This is my original running blog, Running Starfish, started in 2009 to chronicle my first (and supposed to be last) marathon, all the way through qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Trials Marathon.

If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw my excessive shout-outs to ShowerPill when I was thick in the half marathon training. And at least a handful of thankful tweets from @oiselle_sally directed at me, the otherwise stinky runner sitting just a few feet in front of her.

I am also now known in Super Jock n Jill for my regular order: two Honey Stinger Waffles (one vanilla, one honey) and one ShowerPill. I was in there every other day, and will be again once I'm back into my heavy training.

If you don't know what a ShowerPill is, it's not really a pill. It's an 'Athletic Body Wipe' created by Seattle Seahawk Justin Forsett (and his former college teammates at Cal-Berkley, Wendell Hunter and Wale Forrester). Yes people, runners have something in common with football players. We work out a lot and sometimes end our workout in a place that doesn't have a shower at the ready OR we don't have time to mess with it. And obviously I can bench as much as all three dudes put together. Mac HULK!... wait, that's not true.
ShowerPill on the beach after running over 9 miles to Bainbridge during yesterday's #runlove

tip: first use on face, neck, chest and stomach, then flip to use other side on legs and feet.
 I was hooked after my first ShowerPill and here's why:
  • I do a lot of midday running and a couple double workouts a week, but Oiselle HQ doesn't have a shower.
  • Sink baths suck.
  • ShowerPill literally is what it says, it's a shower in an on-the-go-packet. Easy!
  • I actually felt fresh, not sticky and not all dried out (that's because ShowerPill is alcohol free and yet pumped up with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E + has Benzalkonium Chloride which means it's antibacterial. So important.)
  • It's the perfect size, easy to pack, just enough "shower".
Okay so this is my first giveaway! Holy what the what!? My over-the-top love for ShowerPill turned into rewards for you. Two lucky readers can win a 10 pack of ShowerPill.
