No Bake Healthy Energy Bites – Friday Tryday!

OK ya’all, its Friday Tryday, and you know what that means!!!

Every Friday, we’ll give you a cool homemade project or recipe, or make-do something that you can try out over the weekend, then, maybe if you aren’t too busy oogling over all the great work you did, you can come back and share your results…

You’ll want to make double of this weeks project, because around our house they go really quick. It’s also a great recipe for the kids to help with because there is NO HOT OVENS OR STOVES involved…

No Bake Energy Bites from Gimme Some Oven

These were literally gone in less than a day in our house, and our kids loved them. I could see these replacing homemade granola bars really quickly.

It also seems like a good “base” recipe to add whatever other flavors or secret energy sources you have.

So, give them a try… have a great weekend!!!

Standing In The Hall Of Tunesday

It’s Tunes-day again, and we have a great piece of musical motivation for you to add to your training playlist.

It’s hard to believe that this song has been out since August, and we’re just now starting to rock it during our training sessions.

Over the past week, this song has definitely received the “most played” tag on our iPods.

The Script – Hall of Fame ft. will.i.am – on YouTube

It’s a a great running song, and has a pretty good video as well. – We’ll keep this one on the playlist for awhile.

The Question Isn’t Who Is Going To Let Me…

The question is, who is going to stop me?

Ask yourself this. Usually the only person that can stop you is yourself.

Nobody stops you from training early, running on your lunch break, or even taking a day off. Usually, the only thing that holds you back is that little voice in your head saying “Stay in bed,” “You can do it tomorrow,” or “Don’t be lazy.”

Have a great week! Just keep running!

Healthy, Homemade Fruit Snacks!!!

This weeks tryday feature comes from the awesome people over at Thank Your Body. They know how to make a great fruit snack.

One word of WARNING: Don’t use anything with a lot of seeds, or strain the seeds. These are just like fruit snacks, and if you get those pesky seeds in there, they aren’t as fun.

So, give these a try this weekend… Here’s the recipe: Homemade healthy fruit snacks
