Running Nutrition (Part 2)

Okay, so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I pocketed the Vanilla and Razz flavored Cliff Shots on my Saturday morning long run. First off these things are hard to open while running and making sure you don't squirt the gel all over the place! Anyway, they're really thick and hard to swallow unless you have water or something to wash it down with--thank goodness for my hydration belt. The Razz flavored wasn't bad at all and the Vanilla just kind of tasted like sugar, which is basically what the gels are, just sugar to restore your electrolytes. Next up will be Chocolate and Mocha!

Ever wonder what marathon runner's eat while they run? Yeah, I never gave that much thought myself until recently. So I went to the running store to see what options were out there to help maintain my energy when I'm out running 10+ miles. I came across a couple options and decided to go with the most organic/natural stuff available since I'm a vegetarian and wanted to make sure the ingredients wouldn't cause too many crazy side effects.
Clif, the same company that makes the protein energy bar, also makes these energy gels or Shots, which come in all sorts of fruity flavors. I'm going to test them out this weekend...

Welcome!!

So I've decided to start a blog about my adventures with food! I've been talking about it for quite some time now and I did start posting recipes on my old blog site, but I want to make this more about food and not about recipes. Anyway, visit often and keep eating!
