Gu is my friend.

What is "GU" you say?

It's an energy gel I have taken over the last couple years during training for certain runs, and I love it.

There are several different flavors to choose from. It's a "performance food" but it's more like a... well a gu. It helps in energy and recover and hydration.
I needed it today, cause I ran... drum roll please....
5 miles!!!
I run a very relaxed run, a 12 minute mile. So 5 miles takes me 60 minutes to run. 60 continuous minutes of jogging. It felt pretty awesome.... when I was done! I burned 800+ calories.
Anyway, gotta go get ready for work. Have a great Saturday.

Awesome! I just don't want you to pull anything by overdoing. I worry about you!
Love, Mom

Thanks for the review. I've actually never tried any of these.
