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.

Heather

PB froyo:)
Chelsea Carnine
My favorite ice cream is Schwann’s Vanilla!

My favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip. But the chocolate chips have to be the kind that actually melt in your mouth. I HATE the cheapo stuff that never melts. The ones with chocolate shavings instead of chips are the best! Kind of like Magic Shell shavings.

From a shop: Vanilla from Smitten Ice Cream in San Francisco.
Taryn
Favorite drink (of all time) is Pumpkin Chai Tea Latte and favorite ice cream is pumpkin soft serve.. Fall is my favorite season and pumpkin flavored everything makes it that much better!

I was in a big McDonald’s Caramel Frappe period last year when I discovered Click…Finding out I could make iced coffee at home and add as much caramel as I want..plus it is kind of good for you?? (well at least it is low sugar before I add caramel syrup and it has protein…protein is good right??) Score! new obsession.

Kari Burghardt
Cherry Garcia froyo! Yum. :)

Camille Adams
Blue bell mint chocolate chip!!

Susan howdy
Favorite ice cream: vanilla cinnamon…YUM
Favorite drink: water or Starbucks soy latte :)
sue
pistachio ice cream! can’t get enough of that flavour!
Angela
If we’re talking favorite drink during workouts, I would probably have to say water or blue Gatorade (blue is the flavor, right?!!) ;-) Otherwise, I enjoy Diet Coke, water, water with some cranberry juice, half ice tea/half lemonade, and definitely, CHOCOLATE MILK!!!!
Ice cream-wise, I believe it was toward the end of Spring, Dairy Queen had a chocolate covered pretzel blizzard!!! It was A-MA-ZING!!!!!! Unfortunately, it was the flavor of the month, or some other foolish nonsense like that! It should be a menu staple there!!! :-)
Cecilia @MommiesRun
Favorite drink…besides water, COFFEE! Love it!
Katie P
I love your blog! Just stumbled upon it. Favorite flavor currently is coffee heath bar :)
Reid
Every now and then I get an unconquerable craving for rainbow sherbet.
Tonya @ Not Your Average Athlete
Favorite drink – coffee
Favorite ice cream – too many to count but if I had to pick just one it would have to be vanilla because with the right add-ins it can become anything!
Jamie
If I have to choose ice cream flavor I’d say its a toss up with mint chocolate chip or Ricky road. If I could choose my favorite froyo flavor, I absolutely LOVE salted caramel frozen yogurt from Golden Spoon! I’m a fan if diet Dr. Pepper for my drink of choice (aside from water). It’s one if the only diet flavors I can stand!
Monica
Favorite ice cream flavor by far is Chocolate Peanut Butter from Tillamook. Holy crap it’s good. Also, I think I should win this because it’s my birthday on Saturday :) Just sayin’
Amber
My all time favorite drink is the Frozen Hot Chocolate from Dairy Queen…. addicting. ;)
Chelsea
Both.
Drink : Kombucha – don’t knock it ’til you try it!

Current favorite ice cream flavor: sea salt caramel truffle (private selection from Fry’s/Kroger. We just ran out and I have to see if it’s still in stock. Amazing flavor!
Yo Momma Runs
My favorite drink is water!
Madison
I am also addicted to froyo because I’m actually lactose intolerant, however I can get away with eating just a little bit and be fine. Getting to add 200 calories of toppings makes up for it. I put Reese’s peanut butter cups, sprinkles, raspberries, strawberries and those chocolate chips covered in sprinkles on mine typically with a cherry…or two
Caitlin
My favorite ice cream is banana/caramel. I discovered it a few months ago and can’t stop buying it!
Carmen
Mint chocolate chip!

Michelle
Favorite ice cream flavor…good old Cookies & Cream:)!
Angela
Hot chocolate! Especially after a cold winter race :-) Do I get an extra entry for adding that my favorite ice cream is Baskin Robbins Gold Medal Ribbon? I figure it’s worth a shot.
Maddie
Favorite drink? Does that mean coffee? Because I love coffee. I’m getting overly excited right now thinking about it.
Well, and I drink four 32 ounces of purple Powerade every.single.day. for the last three years.
That’s 128 ounces, just saying :)
Amy
Peppermint stick!!! Ooo-la-la!!! :)
Amy
Oh and that’s ice cream by the way, but I do like hot chocolate with a candy cane in it!
