Chocolate Milk and Halloween - A Sweet Connection!


I recently shared my love of chocolate milk with you guys, especially as my go-to drink after a long run.  While there may not be a lot of scientific research on the subject (yet), there does appear to be growing evidence that yes, chocolate milk does do a runner's body good after a long run, and lots of other athletes, too....

Imagine my surprise (and delight) to learn over at the Track Shack blog that it's not only a great post-run drink, but also The Official Drink of Halloween.  Now that's what I'm talking about!   

So if you'll excuse me, I'm headed off to the fridge to trick-or-treat! It's got to be healthier than those darn Snickers bars, right??   :-) 

My Thankful Three
Today, I am thankful for:

  • Chocolate milk (of course!)


  • The Track Shack blog and their always-cool info


  • A day off from work and playing hooky w/ Hubby

Happy running, friends....

The December issue of Runner's World is the "Best of Running" issue, and choc milk was voted the best post run meal! It beat out food!
