I was so excited when I saw that pickles were BOGO at Publix yesterday. Why do pickles put such a spark in me? You must remember my past pickle post from the Keys100 blog. (Click that linky to refresh your memory.) Pickles or, more accurately, pickle juice is really wonderful! Oh, don't be shaking your head or making that face like you just ate something sour. Trust me, if you're ever experiencing a foot/leg cramp of epic proportions, pickle juice can be what saves you from what feels like excruciating torture.
With having one relay under my belt and knowing what foods I did and didn't eat during that, I'm looking forward to putting that experience and knowledge to use when I run Ragnar in February! Pickles will probably be tops on my list. (Before you ask, yes, I did buy pickles yesterday at Publix. Who can turn down a BOGO like that?! No, these won't be the pickles I take in February. I'm sure they'll be long gone by then. Yes, Mom, I'll make sure to buy fresh ones so I don't have to have the "it's a sell by date and not a use by date" discussion.)
What will be on my shopping list as February gets closer? Pickles (like you didn't know that), Belvita cookies, granola bars (probably the Nature Valley Protein chewy bars that have dark chocolate on the bottom), water (duh), Gatorade (double duh), and some other stuff. Last time, I brought yogurt, and Morgan and I each had one. It was nice, but being that February probably won't be hot like May was, I don't know if I'll still bring them. (Maybe one or two to be safe, right?!) Also, I had some PB&J sandwiches last time; again, they were good, but you know how that goes: they've got to be packed just right or else they're going to end up smushed. Oh, and speaking of smushed, yes, I'll be taking bananas, but I have got to put them in something to protect them! I do love me some bananas, but not the mushy kind because they've been squished or sat on!
So what recommendations would you have as far as food goes? I'm all ears!
