Focusing on running.....well kind of

I have begun to really focus on my running. I have a trail run on my calendar for November.  So the past few weeks I have begun focusing more on my running. The training runs have moved to early morning to avoid the heat of the summer here in Arizona. I am feeling stronger and getting faster already. I am not out to set any record breaking times or anything but just finish it. Tried a few new pairs of shoes and am really leaning towards the HOKA ONE ONE Speed Goat trail running shoe.  The two pairs of my own shoes, I am using right now are breaking down. I will need to get a new pair of shoes before too long. The race is 14 miles long, so just over the half-marathon mark. My training so far has been on streets and sidewalks. I will need to get out on the trail soon and get used to the uneven trails with rocks every so often. 

Three new Amrita Protein bar flavors hitting the market

Along with one of my all time favorites Amrita’s Chocolate Maca 15 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber, they followed it up by introducing three other great flavor combination bars that also have the same amount of protein and fiber, as well as all being gluten free, soy free, dairy free and Kosher.  Dark Chocolate Quinoa, Chocolate Chip Coconut and finally Sunbutter with Jelly.  I have had the honor to not only taste test these flavor combinations, but have used them in training.  First off, nothing was wrong with the Chocolate Maca bar. I still love and use it as my main after ride recovery bar. The new flavors are something now to mix it up with.  Very good combinations of flavors. Honestly who couldn't turn down the sunbutter and jelly combination. Sunbutter is like peanut butter however made with sunflower seeds. For those with allergies to peanuts, you may ask your doctor if sunbutter could be for you.  If you can't find these flavors or bars in a store near you, you can always order them online.
