Do you prefer to workout with a buddy or by yourself?<\/p>\n

I’m usually a solo workout person. I am a pretty focused person when I workout and I kind of do my own thing. Michael and I hike and bike together. I have a few friends who I sometimes workout with.<\/p>\n

I’ve run the waterfront with a coworker once before. He wasn’t a runner but wanted to start. He was much faster than me so I pushed myself harder and I was pretty sore the next day. Another co-worker of mine mentioned running together too. I haven’t said yes yet because she a really good runner and I think she’d put me to shame!<\/p>\n

The plus sides to having a buddy are many. It helps change up routines. Keeps you motivated. Makes you accountable.<\/p>\n

QUESTION: How do you fuel your workouts?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Peanut butter is a good pre-workout fuel for me. Michael recently bought a special powder to mix with water.<\/p>\n

Here are the Nutrition Stats:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>He loves it. He said he notices a difference in his energy level and recovery time as a result of this drink. I’ve tried it twice and dislike the flavor so much I can’t drink it. It tasted like Tang to me. Ick!<\/p>\n

Does anyone have any other recommendations? I’m looking for something I can use on Reach The Beach next month.<\/p>\n

I ran at lunch today. It was a great run. I decided to forgo the jacket but wondered if I would regret it once I got outside. It was a tad chilly! I was lucky, however, and once I started running it was the right temperature. The weather was perfect and I didn’t need my jacket. I ran the entire loop without walking at all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Today’s lunch was 2 slices of leftover deLite pizza from the other night. I was NOT in the mood to pack a lunch last night.<\/p>\n
