Mashed Potatoes and Puréed Fruit

I haven't been blogging much, but I've actually been running regularly. I've been fully immersed in vacation planning and dealing with a withdrawn dog. We're going to Argentina in August (more to come on that trip) and Eddie hurt his back again. Therefore, I've been addicted to the Internet and a doting mother, but haven't been focused on much else. 

I did make it out into the heat today to get a long run in...and it was brutal. Everything felt wrong, my Camel was ridiculously heavy, my arms wouldn't move the way I told them to, and I generally felt like a bowl of mashed potatoes. No, I was not craving them for a snack. I actually felt like I was a big blob of them, slowly moving through the park. It was awful. 

I also ventured to try one of th Powerbar fruit pouches that we picked up at a race expo. I've eaten the ones made for kids during my run before and I love them. I figured that Powerbar might be able to improve upon an already great product. I was wrong. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't right. It was too sweet, and that's pretty significant considering I have one of the world's worst sweet tooths... I could eat a dozen cupcakes, but had trouble downing a 3 ounce packet of puréed fruit. I think I'll stick to the ones that have Cinderella on them!
