I ran 10 miles with Jessica today. I felt pretty good for the most part. We started before 9 a.m., which was good because it got pretty warm today. At mile 5, we had some Gatorade, and throughout the run, we ate Starburst. It may not have been enough calories to sustain energy. When I got home, Bill was ready to go to Scheel's to buy some stuff, so I tagged along and picked up some stuff designed for eating while running.
Here is what I got:
Clif Shot Bloks: I've never had these before, but they looked interesting.
Sport Beans: These are my old standby. I like their texture. However, Bill thinks they are too gritty for eating while running. Some of the Sports Beans are caffeinated.
Honey Stinger: I have never had these before, and I'm not sure what to think about them. These were the most unique thing I brought home.
GU Chomps: These are similar to the Clif Shot Blocks but made by GU. I am not a fan of the traditional GU. I think it's gross, so we'll see what I think of these.
Another thing I've been eating lately is the Mojo Bar. I like the peanut butter pretzel--but I haven't tried any other flavors. I wouldn't eat this while running, but it's a good snack or breakfast on the go for me. I also ate quite a few of them on our trip to NY because they are portable.
