GoodBelly Probiotic Coconut Water

A while back, I took the GoodBelly 12-Day Challenge and found that my digestion was improved afterwards due to its probiotic content.  I kept up drinking this stuff for a couple of months, until I figured that I had done enough.

Months later, my stomach went back to its unpredictable, finicky self (probably due to a fairly poor diet).

Fortunately, GoodBelly products have gotten cheaper nationwide, including my Whole Foods where I found this new coconut water for about $3.49.  With no sugar added the and hydrating benefits of coconut water, I was happy to pick one up!

If you're already familiar with coconut water, this version might be a little hard to drink.  GoodBelly products have a distinct sour-ish taste (which is why the Mango is my favorite, as this is where its least prevalent to me), which might make you feel as though you're drinking bad coconut water.  Some mind-over-matter will help you realize that you're drinking something that is a good thing for your stomach.

My recommendation is that if you're new to this stuff, start with the Mango flavor.  Since I am used to the products, I will finish this coconut version and probably continue on it since it has less sugar than some of the other products in this line.

Speaking of which, I was sent some ambassador coupons for GoodBelly products, which I have been passing around (excitedly, I guess... based on this post-gym picture of me looking crazy).  You can sign up for coupons at GoodBelly.com when you sign up for their 12-day challenge.

  5. Rat, not sure if you'll see this comment, but other natural health stores, Ralph's/Krogers, and Vons/Safeway should probably carry it by now.

(Note: I ended up putting everyone's retweets starting after the comments when it came to numbering the entries.) 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
