Kofuzi Run Club

I won't be going to Boston this year (fingers crossed for 2023), but that won't stop me from getting excited. And since this is the 50th anniversary of the first time Boston officially allowed women to have bibs, this Trivia Tuesday Boston Edition is dedicated to women. 

Trying out a new protein shake. Also, in this episode, we discuss what would be the ideal non-running sponsors for the channel.

You would think that a runner would be able to find a lot of things they might need at a GNC, but you would be wrong. Today's trivia is based on things that I actually found upon even just a cursory inspection of the GNC website.  My apologies to people who love GNC. I'm sure there's a lot of normal stuff there, but this trivia is not about the normal stuff. 

Convenience foods can be great, especially when they're vegan. Today, I'll try something that I've seen at the grocery store for a while and finally decided to try today - Wicked Foods. We'll also talk a bit about the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile and other races from over the weekend

Opened up a package that I ordered from The Feed and then went on a very long tangent about travel by rail.

Trying out some new bubble waters today, Bai Bubbles. Some of the flavors are very good. 

Unboxing some things I bought. Some were not what I was expecting at all. 

I'm running the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile this weekend, so let's dive into some race history with this week's trivia.  Don't forget, this Saturday at 9am, the Kofuzi Run Club will be meeting at the WWII Memorial for a few miles around the mall to preview the cherry blossoms! See the Kofuzi Run Club group on Strava for details. 

When I was in LA, DadRunnerAl gave me a couple of gels to try that I had never heard of before. Today, I'll give them a taste test on the livestream. 

Hoka 1 1 strikes again. Also, details have been finalized for the Kofuzi Run Club DC! Let's meet at the World War II Memorial at 9m on Saturday April 2. We'll run around the tidal basin and mall to see the cherry blossoms. The route should be about 2.7 miles and I think the expo for the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile is pretty close by. 

I keep seeing this stuff everywhere, but is Body Armor any good? I bought 9 different flavors and will sample them today. 

Talking about some upcoming races. Cherry Blossom 10 Miler in DC and Grandma's Marathon in Duluth. Also, I'm not going to be going to Boston to spectate anymore, unfortunately.

My daughters made me a cake to congratulate me on a PR at the LA Marathon! I eat a big slice and give some more insight into the LA Marathon and how it's now changed my perspective on "challenging" courses

While I was in Santa Monica for the Kofuzi Run Club LA shakeout, Luis gave me a care package of Mexican treats! I have very little idea of what these are, but I can't wait to try them!

Goodr sent me a bunch of glasses. I'll give you a list of the crazy names, you have to guess which name goes with which pair. I tried to describe the lenses the best I could, but this may be a good one to catch the replay on YouTube.

Pi Day falls on a Monday this year! Pi Day Mukbang!

Taking questions on the Adios Pro 2 (the 100 mile video went up today on YouTube). Also, I wonder if Kipchoge would come to the Kofuzi Run Club shakeout if Kipchoge ran Chicago again 

Especially when I'm marathon training, I've been enjoying the new generation of NA beers. Today, I'm testing out four NA brews from Brewdog from Columbus, OH

Why does Garmin want me to recover so much?

It's Tuesday - time for trivia. But it's also Fat Tuesday, so it's time for a mukbang. I went to Stan's Donuts and pickled up four paczki. Chocolate Pastry Cream, Pastry Cream, Cherry, and Canoli flavors. 

I believe I've tried all the Unived gels before, but they've previously told me that they're constantly tinkering with their formulas. So while some flavors have remained great, others have gotten much better (and also, some are still not my favorite)

Trying out some vegan instant food from Heel. Just add boiling water, let it steep (like cup o noodles), and eat!
