Fitness Food Face-off

I just stumbled upon this fantastic article in Women's Health that's perfect for every Runner Girl -- or any gal or guy -- looking for the "right" foods and liquids to drink before, during and after a workout. Muy important factors, such as convenience, effectiveness, taste, calories and cost were considered before crowing the victors. Click on the Egg McMuffin (a clue to the first face-off) to see some of the surprising winners!

My favorite? The 5-hour energy/espresso showdown, in which good old-fashioned espresso wins by a landslide.

I'm kicking my weekend off with a long run with my training partner and will stopping by 711 to pick up a coffee. A great run is in store!
