I tried a new afternoon snack yesterday & today – ME LIKEY!
I saw them in Triathlete Magazine and stopped by Whole Foods the other day to pick some up. I LOVE bananas (just ask my wife), but am not a fan of dried bananas – so these intrigued me. They didn’t have the plain/original, so I was “forced” to get the dark chocolate-covered version. They were very tasty – I even shared with my wife, who gave them a “thumbs up” too. Gotta get some more and also want to try the plain/original variety too.
I guess I could see carrying these for some variety on a long ride or putting them in a drop bag for a long run. Check them out at barnana.com – its a pretty cool story about how they got started.
Oh, and give them a try too!

- Today’s session:6 mile pace run @ 8:42 pace
- Comments: I did 6.78 @ 8:06. For some reason, I just can’t seem to slow down. I need to deliberately work on that aspect of running since I know for sure that I can’t maintain a 7:55 pace for a half or full marathon (which was my average pace this week.). Then again, …!
I’ve been toying with the thought of changing my blog design for a while…actually, quite a while…like since March 2012.
Anyway, the plan is to “go live” in the near, near future with a new theme, header, blog name, etc.
Nothing drastic – just different, sort of.
BOLO…

While I was in a meeting today, I found myself wondering if the other people had the same “this guy’s just droning on and on” thought.
The kicker: I was the guy talking.

I read this a few weeks ago, so true:
Running is a form of relaxation. That’s one of the curiosities of life – that such a high-energy activity could be so relaxing.
– Lee C. Bollinger, President of Columbia University
After a rest day today, I’m ready to “relax” tomorrow! GIDDY-UP!!!
