Real Foods - Corn Thins



After I crossed the finish line recently at the 13.1 Half Marathon in Los Angeles, they were handing out these corn thins as a post run food item along with bananas, apples and bagels. I actually had to throw away my apple and banana from that race since the ones I picked out were both rotten. :( Sad. Anyways, I did not end up eating these corn thins until the following week when I was sitting at my desk one afternoon and got the munchies. These taste just like ricecakes but better. They have a better crunch since they are thinner and taste like plain popcorn. Overall, I like them. Don't these look like drink coasters to you?

I went to the product website (Real Foods) and looks like this company is located in Australia...how exotic?!? That's far away. You can go to the website to read all about the nutritional info and some "recipes" on how to jazz them up.

    Congrats on finishing the race. I LOVE corn thins. I get them at www.WholeAndNatural.com. They are delicious. A pity you didn't enjoy them right away.

Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory). I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I was a sprint/track

StyleScience Airfoil Sunglasses

Much too long after the death of my last pair of sunglasses, I managed to get my hands on another pair. This one comes from CVS/pharmacy. I figured that since a more expensive pair blew out on me, why not a drugstore one? So after going to speciality stores, I came upon this one that looks and feels good... StyleScience's Airfoil. I didn't notice until later that this is meant for men, but my large head circumference called for it, I think. Anyway, I like that the sides have some ventilation (via a large triangular hole). I hope not to break this one...

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat
