Obsession takes hold – I am out of my boot cast and into the grocery store health food aisle. The Chicago Marathon is imminent. I noticed the new Clif Quench Sport Drink on the shelf from Clif Bar. I get genuinely excited about new electrolyte drinks (I know…scary thought). It is 88% organic (and yes, wondering about that other 12%…), no preservatives (or corn syrup) and the bottle is made from recycled plastic. The recognizable packaging makes it easy to find (I found it at Wegmans) and they have a citrus flavor – limeade! I tried it yesterday after a strength workout and I liked the light flavor. I am thinking I may try adding a little protein powder to it for the long runs. It’s like a new toy — anything to break up the mountain of training ahead…
