WONDERFUL

Several months ago, the kind people at POM Wonderful sent me samples of their 100% pomegranate juice which they describe as "a little bit sweet, a little bit tart and a whole lotta healthy." I rather liked the taste and when my samples were gone, I picked some up at the local Costco. My favorite way to enjoy it has actually been in the evening...somewhat of a replacement to a glass of red wine while I've been training.

A few weeks ago, they sent a few more flavors to try. First up was POM Kiwi which they describe as "slightly sweet, slightly tart". It was interesting and pleasant, and definately gets thumbs up from me. Next was POM Nectarine which quite honestly, I didn't enjoy.

For me, the straight up pomegranate juice is the best of the bunch. Thanks, POM for sending samples!

WOBBLY

I've still got a wobble in my walk. The pain in my left side is mostly gone, but I'm having all kinds of trouble on the right side, including my IT Band (I think). Taking the Stick with me to work today. Also doing some serious stretching. May need to visit the chiropractor soon as well.

WHAT?!?

Got an email from coach today reminding us that practices have come to an end, congratulating everyone on their races, wishing us well, etc. I replied back that I think an end-of-season celebration is in order. It just doesn't feel right to end without one last meet up.

  5. I received some free POM too, LOVED IT, my first taste was at breakfast at work, taste like I was tasting wine. Finally someone that agrees with me and not just look at me weird.

    I agree, end of the season party is a must.

  6. Hope that right side shapes up soon - sounds like the pavement messed things up a bit - hopefully nothing that a good chiro adjustment can't fix!

  9. I'm loving the POM, too. Ever since they sent me samples I've been purchasing the ginormous bottle from Costco. It's funny because I've had it before, but now I have a new found love for it. :) Yummy!
