I got offered a spot on Powerbar's Team Elite. It doesn't seem like it will create any conflict of interest w/ Saucony, so I'll likely accept. Which also means I need to accept the fact that I need to not just give up candy for lent, but probably forever, as we'll have quite a stockpile of nutritional products!

I feel the same way about candy that I do soda. You get away from it long enough, and you kind of forget about it (also the old rule if it isn't there you won't want it applies I think).

Now, if I had boxes of Powerbars in my pantry I would eat all of those. Example: Last night, woke up after trying to fall asleep. BAM! 2 Lara bars. Went to sleep, woke up in the middle of the night BAM! another Lara bar. I wasn't fully awake for the third one, so the calories don't count.

They key is to hide things in your kitchen and not remember where you put them :-)

Congrats on the sponsorship. You'll be disappointed to hear that I dropped Diet Mountain Dew from the diet. I love the stuff but I am trying to eat and drink things with ingredients I can pronounce and Diet Mountain Dew was falling a little short there.

Congrats and welcome to PowerBar Team Elite! I was with both PowerBar and Saucony for about 2 years with no issues.

I need to remember to capitalize the B!

Yeah it should a good thing. No excuses to miss the 20 minutes post-workout window for a protein bar anymore :-)

Derek - I ran my 1/2 PR at Long Beach when I was off the dew. Maybe I need to try that again!

Congrats Jake! I can't help but weigh in on the Dew…

Definitely worth ditching and you probably will start craving it less. I always go with Derek's advice- if you can't pronounce most the ingredients OR the list of ingredients is as long as short novel, it probably shouldn't be fueling the race car :)

Congrats, Jake. Well deserved.
