Totally Milkin' It

Hello! How was the weekend? Too short as always. Again I woke up today thinking it was Sunday....WHATS WRONG WITH ME? The hubs alarm actually went off at 4:45am and I told him to shut it off, haha. He said...."Buts its Monday, we gotta get up and go." Bugger!

Anyway, this weekend was HOT HOT HOT and HUMID HUMID HUMID. I actually cut my long run 2 miles short outside and finished it up inside in the gym. Just couldn't lose any more sweat....eek! Luckily, the good people at ATHLETES HONEY MILK sent us a variety pack of their recovery drink. I took the Honey Flavor with me to the gym for post run and I am SO SO SO GLAD I did! Great simple ingredients that are gluten free and lactose free and full of protein. You guys have to check them out....that's if you can handle dairy. I can only handle goats milk dairy and lactose free cottage cheese but the HONEY Milk didn't upset my stomach at all , it was actually nice on my stomach....definitely a bonus!

James and I both loved all the flavors but Coffee Light was kinda my favorite. It tasted like a Starbucks latte....AWESOME! James loved the Vanilla. He such a vanilla guy! Simple good taste.

We're going to continue to use ATHLETES HONEY MILK for our post workout "quick fix" recovery this week. I'll let you know how the training/reovery goes! Lots of swimming, cycling, outdoor conditioning and strength, running, etc. Excited!

See....we're ready to run! Kswiss Style of course!

So ya wanna know more? Here a little info about HONEY MILK.

Is HoneyMilk right for you?
The short answer is: Yes. It’s right for everybody. Milk is an incredible source of protein, containing vitamins and nutrients that are essential to everyone’s dietary needs, but even more so to athletes. Honey is a great natural source of carbohydrates known for boosting performance, increasing endurance and reducing muscle fatigue.We take the lactose out, but leave all the good stuff in. So you end up with a well-rounded recovery drink / meal replacement that’s just right for whatever kind of superstar you are. Or want to be.
