Ways to Save on Time and Healthcare Costs for Running at Walgreens Healthcare Clinic

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser. 

I am not someone who frequents the Doctor. In fact, 2 years ago, I switched from a PPO healthcare account to a high deductible HSA account due to my infrequent doctor visits. Over the past few months, I have found myself spending more time on my health due to the amount of running I've done. 2 full marathons, 3 half marathons, a 10K and 5K within a short month and a half window is a lot on your body. Thankfully for me, I live in an area where Walgreens Healthcare Clinics are available.

post Dopey Challenge, I ran 48.6 miles over 4 days and have had multiple health issues since

The Walgreens Healthcare Clinic Tampa is located very conveniently to my house. Convenience is the key word here and much needed in a bind. Walk-Ins are welcome & appointments are available Open 7 Days & Weeknights. They accept most insurance and have a board-certified family nurse practitioner on site. My favorite convenience is that it's Walgreens so you have an on-site pharmacy. The #HealthcareClinic is a one stop shop which is very important to me.

Walgreens is also an awesome place to stock up on many pre-race and post race needs. A few staples which I make sure are on hand for a race are:

• KT Tape - After my injury during the NYC Marathon, I make sure my ankle is always taped for any 10+ mile event.
• Preform by bio Freeze pain relieving singles - I always have 10+ of these in my running belt.
• Omron Electro Therapy Pain Relief - best invention ever and I strongly suggest it for anyone. I scored an awesome deal on mine right before Christmas and saved $20 with my balance rewards card! Best $30 ever spent!
• Walgreens Acetaminophen 650mg tablets - I always carry two of these tablets with me so I don't have to waste time at medical tents and take one every hour and a half.
• Preform by bio freeze foot therapy kit - A must have for post race recovery
• Koss headphones (The same headphones I reviewed in December. For a limited time, you can pick up a pair at Walgreens for $19.99)

Walgreens Healthcare Clinic is a time and money saver for anyone seeking healthcare. I can personally attest that they saved me greatly after my NYC injury.
