1. Before I left for the airport Brooke wanted me to read to her the Summer Sanders article in Runner’s World and tell her all about our race together. I gladly went along with it.
Can we talk about how all of the sudden Brooke looks like a five year old.
2. So Fun Yogurt in Pennsylvania had quite the assortment of sprinkles. Their peanut butter froyo is actually the best froyo flavor I have ever had (I have others that agree with me on this one). They also had chocolate Magic Shell… how did I forget about how good that stuff is …. Magic Shell got me through many hard times in high school:)
3. Last night I was standing in line to get a chicken wrap in the Chicago airport for dinner and then I looked to the right of me and saw deep dish pizza. I wondered why I was making such bad life decisions in choosing a wrap over CHICAGO deep dish pizza and then went on to make the honorable decision. (ps I know that pizza in the airport doesn’t count as the real deal but it was still pretty good)

Jetflow sent me one of their awesome Hydration Packs (in pink, which I love).
These people are brilliant. They have made a hydration pack where you simply just attach your water bottle/gatorade etc to the pack. You don’t have to use the same ‘bladder’ each time like the other hydration packs require. It simply connects directly to your bottle. This makes life 1 million times easier because you don’t have to take the pack apart each time to clean it out.
This is how it works.
I really and truly like running with this pack. I sometimes forget that I am wearing it (because it is so comfortable and lightweight) until I feel thirsty and remember how awesome it is to have my water right there waiting for me to drink. It is dishwasher safe and easy to clean and you don’t have the weird plastic tastes from the bladder (because there isn’t one:) It has a great pocket to store things like keys, your phone, gloves, two additional water bottles etc.
It is a winner in my book. I may even use it on my treadmill during the winter months… that is how cool it is.
Enter to win your very own! Giveaway ends on Friday (10/25/13)
To enter to win a Jetflow Hydration Pack leave me a comment telling me your favorite drink or your favorite ice cream flavor. You choose.

Caprene
I’m a seasonal ice cream eater. I can’t eat it every night like you. October through December are my ice cream months. Pumpkin comes out in October, and after Thanksgiving, I buy peppermint. Peppermint is definitely my favorite. And since I only eat it one month a year, it will hopefully forever remain my favorite (plus it is gluten free, so my celiac diagnosis last year doesn’t prevent my annual splurge.)

Favorite drink: coffee. Favorite ice cream: cookie dough :)

My favorite ice cream flavor is actually two flavors: Baskin Robbins Peanut butter chocolate AND Baskin Robbins Gold Medal Ribbon. I always get both because I can never just pick one of them! My mom started this love when I was a kid as this was her favorite, then it became mine. Now my kids love these too as they would get their bubble gum flavored ice cream and ask to try mine and … of course mine became their favorite now too. It’s a family tradition! Now, pick me to win the hydration pack! I have a half marathon coming up in May and I need this hydration pack! :)

Hello! My favorite ice cream is chocolate peanut butter. I love ice cream so much that my husband and I had an ice cream and toppings bar at our wedding this past July (I tried for an ice cream cake instead of a real cake, but the hubs is a sucker for real cake with buttercream icing!). Our caterer may have thought I’m a 13 year old at heart…and he may have been right ;)
Favorite drink is a tough one! One of my favorite recovery drinks is actually pickle juice (and it’s only appealing after long runs!). There may be a jar of pickle juice (sans pickles) in the fridge now. Yum!
Monica
