Zola - Mmmm


Every time I went to the grocery store, I pondered buying coconut water but didn’t know where to start.  I saw ones with pulp and natural. I had no idea what that means! And I didn’t want to spend the money and then hate it (pretty common for me). So when the opportunity came up for free samples through being a Sweat Pink Ambassador, I jumped on it!! I was not compensated for this review other than being sent the products for free.
And here are my thoughts on what the lovely folks @ Zola sent me.
I totally didn’t even know when it was coming but saw other SPAs getting theirs and low and behold mine arrived. I opened up the box and was excited to see this:

 Inside were bright green sunglasses, two coconut waters (one with pulp, one without) and a Pomegranate/Acai juice. I have finally just tried all three so I wanted to share my thoughts.

First, I tried the coconut water without pulp. Definitely a very different flavor/texture than I am used to but as I drank it I thought it was pretty refreshing. A few days later I tried the one with pulp and I think the flavor was even better. I found that both were best over ice so they were nice and cold. The water is a lot sweeter tasting than I typically choose for drinks but I bet this will be delicious and extra refreshing in the warmer months.
The juice I actually put into a smoothie with strawberries and bananas. I did also take a sip and liked the flavor but knew I would never be able to just sit and sip it. It has an overall sweet taste which I don’t think I could handle for a whole drink- maybe mixed with something else like this smoothie.


Thanks so much to Zola for sending me these yummy samples. Now I know what these products taste like and don’t have to be afraid of coconut water.  And I will surely be wearing those rockin green shades to Color run Philly in July!
(haha, looking a little ridiculous, but whatever!!)

Into the woods

 Every week since I updated the look here, I keep telling myself I will write. Somehow life (or sleep) gets in the way and I never sit down to get started on anything.  Early last week, Bryan suggested that we take our long run to the Appalachian Trail and of course I agreed immediately. He knows how much I love running trails, especially the AT, and even more so, starting at Boiling Springs. I have a history with the AT, so running there always feels a little like home when we are able to run there.  Some areas had a little snow Friday and it was evident that the trail was sprinkled with a tiny amount- just enough to feel slightly magical. It's been a super mild winter here in PA, so we get excited every time we see even a flurry of snow.  There was no shortage of fun little fan mushrooms so I could not resist the urge to stop for a few photo ops. It seemed like they were doing some cleanup after the frequent high winds we have had lately, so I did see some areas wi...

2017- a killer year for running

Image
Can you believe that we made it through 2017 and here we are at the start of a new year full of new goals and possibilities? 2017 was a mixed bag for me. Running-wise it was fantastic, but other things not so much at all. Looking back at all of the things I have accomplished and all of the miles I have tackled make me feel nothing short of amazing. Incredible. Strong. BADASS. I wanted to do a quick run down of all the races I did this year. I didn't blog on all of them but I thought it would be fun. I ended up doing 18- YES EIGHTEEN races this year ranging from 1 mile to 100k (62+ miles) with a total of 1540 miles which is my highest mileage yet. So here goes, you ready?? 1.  Squirelly Tail Twail Wun  - 2/26/17, time 2:26:34. This was a super sweet, muddy race. The temperature was cold but not frigid and I had a course PR. I had so much fun and it was a great first race of the year for me. I plan to back in 2018 for year 4. 2.  Chambersburg half - 3/11/17, tim...
