Trail Mix

I have always thought it would be a really great accomplishment to run in a marathon and many times over my college career I have attempted to be dedicated enough to train for one. Unfortunately, I have never really tried hard enough and have always lost the motivation. So, I am attempting it one more time! I have a goal and a date to look forward to so now I am just beginning to educate myself on how to train. While researching I came across good, healthy snacks to eat for energy. One of the snacks was putting together your own Trail Mix instead of buying one pre-packaged. So here is the one I made, which is close to the mix suggested, that I thought I would share.

1/2 cup of Honey Nut Cheerios
About 2 tbsp of Raisins (substitute with any dried fruit if you don't prefer raisins)
About 2 tbsp of Lightly Salted Peanuts (or any nut)

So, try it and see if you like it! It was really inexpensive to buy the ingredients and they will last me a long time!

    check out beginnertriathlete.com
    while the focus is on tris there are lots of great training programs for all disiplines.

    the ultimate challenge for completing an ironman tri is to be able to run a marathon AFTER you just swam 2 miles and rode the bike for 100 miles. consequently there is lots of good running info.

    the web site is free but more detailed workouts are available at three different levels...bronze silver and gold. gold is around $90 for one year so its a great value for the info you have access to.

    good luck, uncle E
