The Weekly Blush

Shenanigans from March 21 - 27, 2011.

Food
The reviews last week on i{ate}A{pie}.net included quite a few items that we didn't particularly care for (not usually the case). Glenny's Salt & Pepper Soy Crisps, Dominex Veggie Fries and Imagine Natural Creations Organic Creamy Sweet Potato Soup all fell short; but we were totally crushing on EnviroKidz Organic Crispy Rice Bar (Chocolate) and Dannon Light & Fit Raspberry Yogurt.

There's also a new poll, What Do You Look For in a Nutrition Bar? So far, it looks like high protein and low calorie are the most popular choices. If you haven't shared your opinion - there's still time to vote. Another cool part of the website is the Coupons section. We added an Alexia Foods Coupon but there's way more deals to be found.

Fitness: No races for me over the past weekend, and I wasn't feeling too well all week long, some sort of sinus issue, but I'm taking sexy back and ending the month strong and kicking it into high gear with about 8 weeks left until my first triathlon. Here's this week workout schedule:
Mon - Run (6 miles speed)
Tue - Swimming (1800 yards) + indoor cycling (20 miles)
Wed - Run (6 miles hills)
Thu - Swimming (1800 yards) + indoor cycling (20 miles)
Fri - Run (easy 6 miles)
Sat - Swimming (1800 yards)
Sun - Greater Danbury Half Marathon

Sunday will be my 2nd half marathon, and the first one I had no fueling strategy. I am a HUGE fan of Powerbar Energy Blast (chews). But is that enough? Anyone have any tips about fueling for a half marathon? Is that something I even need to think about?

Here's hoping you guys have a great week.
