Energy Bits review & giveaway

Thanks to Energy Bits for providing a complimentary sample for the purpose of this review as well as sponsoring a giveaway so that one lucky winner (USA ONLY, sorry!) can see what it's all about.




Before I even go into the product itself, I just have to say how blown away I am with this awesome company.They really provide you with lots of literature when they send you a sample to review. I mean you can really feel the love and pride they have in their product. Not only this, but I love that they send you all the ins and outs of the seriously EVERYTHING you might want to know about this product before you put it in your precious body. In fact, I was almost overwhelmed with the amount of (amazing) info provided. 

Anyway, moving on to the product itself. I was honestly very  a little worried when opened the tin and the smell kind of reminded me of fish food we fed our fishes as kids. I decided to not let it bother me and just see what happened. It was a little over a week until I actually tried them - didn't want to change anything before I ran my first half marathon. I started out with just 4-5 bits to make sure my finicky body didn't have some sort of strange reaction to it. All went well, so then I tried 15 (recommended dosage is 30 bits) on a night that I maybe got 3 hours of sleep (too much excitement!), worked 8am to 4:30pm, scrambled home to get changed and attended my first crossfit class. Somehow I managed to make it through the day and even had energy to spare. Normally I would probably have come home after an intense workout and crashed. 

While this is single case, I still think I can honestly say that these little green bits helped keep me going. The taste (prior to washing down with water) really wasn't bad. Although, they say if you chew them they can taste pretty awful. Don't mistaken these for a supplement- they are not. They are food turned to an easy to ingest form- 100% organically grown spirulina algae. Apparently algae has been used for a long time among Olympians for over 50 years. Crazy right?

Taken directly from an email sent to me by Jonathan Levitt @ Energy Bits (really just because I didn't want to mess it up!!)

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...
