I’m currently training for my 5th marathon, with my goal for this marathon to be my fastest yet. As I prepare to enter the heart of my training for the June race, I need to pay very close attention to what I foods I put into my body and when. I run almost exclusively in the morning and it’s important to get some morning energy burning before I head out into the crisp winter air. I want something light, nutritious, and give me enough fuel to keep my motor running throughout my entire run. Recently I started a #NewBreakfastRoutine with BelVita Bites mini breakfast biscuits and V8 Veggie Blend beverage to get the job done. #CollectiveBias
I found both of these new products at the front of my local Target in the Smart Savings section. For you fellow savvy shoppers out there that can’t pass up a great deal, I found a Cartwheel offer for 10% off the BelVita Breakfast Bites, and there will be two separate offers for the V8 products, one starting on 1/25 and another on 2/23! Check out those links again once the promotion starts to take advantage of the Cartwheel offers. If you’d like to try the products yourself, Target stores will be having an in store sampling event on 1/24/2015.
Fuel for the body isn’t the only thing I buy at Target to help me reach my marathon goal this year. They have a great selection of active wear including this extremely bright orange running shirt that will not only keep me warm, but also make sure I’m easily seen when running in the dark of a cold Minnesota winter morning.
The breakfast bites from BelVita pack plenty of morning energy to power a great run. Mixed berry is my favorite flavor, which I munch on while I’m doing my pre-run stretch in the middle of my living room. Then I pour myself a tall glass of the Purple Power V8 Veggie Blend beverage which combines Purple Carrots, Beets and Apples, and is made with 75% vegetable & fruit juices. Not only does it help me get hydrated before my run, but each 8 ounce service gives me a full serving of vegetables for the day.
If I’m going to successfully run my fastest marathon in June, I have to hit my mileage targets each and every week. By keeping track of my runs and speeds, I can make sure I’m on the right path to achieving my goal!
With the right fuel from BelVita Breakfast Bites and V8 Veggie Blends, along with my running gear purchased at Target, I know I can do it!
What fitness goals do you have for 2015? Do you have all the right supplies to help support your success?
Love the orange suite, I just hope the cops do not encounter a mistaken ID of you being an escaped convicted. Trust me….no one is going to miss you in that suit.
LOL, it is extremely bright, isn’t it Petrish???
That is great that you are training loving the outfit too! Thanks for participating in this shop #client.
Glad you like the orange shirt, Adriana…….it’s even brighter in person!
The pic of the orange suit makes it look like a onesie!
My fitness goals are on track for the year. I want to lose 20-25 pound and am down 6 so far. I’ve made it point to be more active and do things I actually enjoy doing so that I can make it a habit. I don’t enjoy running all that much, so the idea of running all of the time would have me fail on my goals fast. Instead I hike, lift weights and ride a bike, because I enjoy them and can see myself doing these activities for the long term.
LOL…it’s definitely not a onesie, Jon. 🙂
Great to hear that you are well on your way to your weight loss goal for the year – keep hammering away at them and come back to let us know how you’re doing!
