Sport Beans

I was out with the wife grocery shopping today and we were both just going through the weekly shopping motions without much fanfare. Then all of a sudden, the runner instinct in us kicked in at the same moment and we both stopped and looked at this particular shelf and uttered at t he same time

 'Energy Beans?'

We were instantly perked up as anything to do with running always gets out undivided attention ... LOL! It was a strange sight though cos we never expected to find energy beans being sold in supermarkets here. I normally get my energy gels and chomps from specialty running stores.


So,what did we do? We bought some, like any running crazy people would do ... hahaha! I don't even know if it really is going to work or not but we thought there would be no harm trying them out. They're not exactly cheap though but they're still so much cheaper than the usual energy gels that I buy before my races.

I'll be trying them out during my run tomorrow to see if there is any performance enhancement (somehow I seriously doubt it) for my run tomorrow. I'm expecting it to make me run like Meb Keflezighi :D In your dreams, Nick!

Oh well, one can always dream, can't one? Now back to my research on chauvet slimpar 38.

  2. Eating it for this evening's run, eh? How about tomorrow? Got run?

    I still prefer Hammer tablet - the one I can chew/suck/munch than gels or pastilles or powerbars. ;p

    1. Yeah, will try it this evening. Yeah, running tomorrow also though it's going to be tiring cos I was supposed to run in the morning then have a full days rest before my Sunday LSD but now, with the evening run, tomorrow morning's LSD sure kaput ... hahaha!

      I don't like chewies, more of a gel person but decided to try anyway, might come in handy for the 12 hour Putrajaya walk next month!
