It’s been a while since I did a Friday Favorites, and while browsing through some of the recent pics in my phone, I noticed a trend: I take a lot of FOOD pictures. So for this edition of Friday Favorites I’m going to share my favorite (if not the most well-advised) running fuel!
Enduro Packs
Now that the weather is creeping above 50 degrees, I sweat a LOT more. Like as soon as I start running I’m covered in a sheen. I never used to be a salty sweater, but in the past 2 years I’ve noticed a change in my body chemistry and find myself covered in dried salt even after shorter runs in warmer temps. Thankfully, EnduroPacks is there to help me replenish that salt and stay balanced. With no sugar or anything artificial, I spray this stuff right into my water when I’m done running and feel like a new person.
Pizza
I never said I was perfect, OK? But hear me out: after a long run, I crave weird things depending on what my body is missing. And lately, those cravings all tend to focus on huge slices of veggie pizza loaded with every vegetable you can think of. Namely the veggie pizza from our local pizza joint, pictured above (along with a white broccoli slice, because I’m only human). I’m not saying that this is OK to eat every day, but sometimes you have to listen to your body and go for the stinkin pizza.
Avocados
I. Love. Avocados. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone here, but when I tell you that I could eat them at every meal, believe that. I’ve got an especially tasty recipe that involves fresh boiled shrimp, pico de gallo, avocado and chopped cilantro that makes my mouth water just thinking about it. My hubby and I have even considered moving to a warmer climate just so we could plant an avocado tree in our backyard and have them whenever we want. #obsessed.
How about you guys – do you have any favorite fuel? Share what you’ve been craving lately in the comments!

Avos = AngelFood! Nothing beats avo on rye toast, cracked black pepper and a squeeze of lemon *salivate*

Okay, you had me right up until the veggie pizza — a definite food desecration. Now maybe if you added a healthy fat such as pepperoni . . . Keep up the good work

I LOVE avocados. We have a big avocado tree in our yard and we patiently wait for winter every year so we can start harvesting them. It’s too bad that our entire neighborhood knows about the tree because strangers come and steal from it all the time.
I love a thin-crust veggie pizza after runs, too! I think it’s actually a pretty balanced meal.

Yes, get the sample pack which I think has 3 packs for $10 or something or just ask your go-worker for a couple scoops 😉
