The "Energy" Drink

I didn't get a chance to run at lunch time today due to an urgent meeting being called. But it is all good. One quick phone call to Steve (my husband for those that don't know) to ask him to pick up our children from daycare and I was off to the gym after work.

As I was walking in, a lady offered me a free drink. I don't remember the name of the drink, but it was basically an energy boosting one. She said the bottle contained 2 servings so to only drink half of it before my workout. What the hell, I thought. I drank half of it.

First it was kind of gross. It was supposed to be fruit punch flavored and I could tell that it was trying to be fruit punch. But it contained no sugar so it didn't taste right. Think Kool-Aid before the sugar was added.

Second, it upset my stomach. Not right away, but while I was running on the treadmill, I could feel my stomach hurting. It was not a good feeling.

Third... I didn't feel any more energetic or have more energy to do my workout.

Like I said before, I don't remember the name of the drink or else I would tell you all to stay away from it. Seriously. All I can remember is that it came in a plastic bottle and the plastic wrapper on it was silver and had a silver cap.

So for today... I was able to do 5.50 miles in 70 minutes.
