I didn't go to New York. I had such fomo. I was obsessed with it and also trying to avoid it. The race was exciting though. packages unboxed today:TopoNaakI mentioned that I would share the allergen information for Naak, and then I think I forgot to. but here is what they sent me:"Boost Gel/Drink Mix, Ultra Energy Drink Mixes, and the purees are all free of peanuts and tree nuts or traces thereof."They also directed me to their product pages which would have more information regarding other allergens.

New York Marathon is this weekend, and while I'm excited for everyone racing and to watch the pros, I'm bummed that I won't be there myself. packages unboxed:Puma SayskyMizuno
