March Coffee Date!
It’s the first Friday of the month, and that means it’s time to join Coco and Deborah for our monthly coffee date! I’ll be drinking my Stash Double Bergamot Earl Grey tea, of course. If we were having coffee (or tea) together, the first thing I would tell you is that my Baylor Bear comes home tomorrow for spring break!!! That sure went fast- it seems like just yesterday he went back to school after Christmas. I know the time between spring break and the end of the year goes very fast as well, and then he’ll be home for the summer. The only problem is, at that point he’ll be done with his sophomore year which means college will be HALF OVER, ack! You guys, time is going by way too fast. Moving along. After my last long run I decided I need a hat to help me deal with the heat. There are several cooling hats out there, but I decided on this one: Ha ha, that’s seriously the picture on the Ice Running Website. I know there’s a lot to look at in this picture, but try to focus on the hat. You can see there’s a pocket on top and two on the sides for ice. I’ve ordered it and am excited to try it out- I hope it arrives before my next long run. Speaking of long runs, I’m experimenting with different fueling options. I’ve always had good luck with gels, but they get kind of sickening if you’re out there for a really long time. Recently I tried these from Trader Joe’s: They are EXTREMELY delicious! And they’re easy to eat, even in the middle of a run. Here’s the ingredients: I strongly suggest that everyone rush to their nearest Trader Joe’s immediately and try these. You will not regret it. That’s it for this coffee date! Can you believe it’s time for spring break already? – Colleges always have spring break early. My daughter’s is two weeks later. Do you eat anything during a long run other than gels? Ever tried Frooze Balls?
