Soyjoy

I remember when Soyjoy first came out a few years ago. I ended up picking up some (really cheap) ones from the grocery store and wound up disappointed. It was very crumbly and so light that they did not make a dent in my hunger at all.

Fast-forward to 2011... and some Soyjoy bars somehow ended up in some race goodies:


Although I knew these bars were not vegan (dairy), I nibbled on them as I was working on my dissertation.  They were a little more chewy than I remembered and had some tiny dried fruit bits inside, which were actually delicious.

I won't be making a habit out of eating these due to the dairy, inability to fill me up, etc., but it's a tasty little treat that can maybe tide you over for a short while when you'd otherwise be grabbing a cookie or something.

  1. Oh my gawd that fat Meowmie! I've never had one of these because you told me they were bad years ago so I never even get them from the expos. I guess might as well since I can't really eat them anyways.

Original Post: 3/10/11 Sunday, March 20 2011, the day I will run LA Marathon for the 4th time (and embark on my 8th 26.2 journey overall), will also be very special because it will mark the 5th year since I did my FIRST training run with the intention of running a marathon.  (Check out that life-changing post HERE ). 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
