milkshakes
so, as is often the case with kids on medication for ADHD, my son hasn't gained much weight this year, so taking a clue from the illustrious Jim, I will be feeding my child protein-packed milkshakes for breakfast (before the meds kick in)...
so the question is... when making a chocolate milkshake with vanilla ice-cream, milk and chocolate syrup (they were out of plain chocolate in Tillamook) does one use vanilla or chocolate protein powder???
I'm rearranging this weeks running completely due to the weekend fiasco... but Sunday is Pints to Pasta which should be totally a blast - tho Holly I am STILL BUMMED that you won't be there... nothin' like downin' a couple of pints of beer after a quick 10k!!!!
Today was stretching, tomorrow is yoga + 2 miles, Thursday will be 4 miles, friday will be 3 miles, rest on Saturday, 10k on Sunday.
And that's all she wrote.

Vanilla is handy for when you stop wanting to deal with ice cream, and go with yogurt (allowing a vast array of flavor combinations...vanilla plus orange, for example, is divine....)
That having been said, anything other than chocolate here is sacrelige. ;)

Man, I wish I needed shakes like that. I'm impressed with the amount that you run. I can run about 3 miles, but the last bit of that is run at a pretty slow pace. I'm working on increasing my time/distance, but I just can't dedicate all my time to running, so it'll never be great.

If I were a kid, I think I'd want the most chocolicious shake possible, so chocolate is my vote.
Have fun at the 10K and good luck at school next week!

hey girl! i'll be there! i'm volunteering, although not sure exactly where yet. tomorrow night all the volunteers are meeting and getting assigned to their posts, i assume. i'd planned on emailing ya when i know where you can expect to find me. i'm hoping either an aid station or something at the finish so i have a better chance of seeing you.
it'll be so awesome to finally meet you! and YOU'LL BE SWEATY AND I WON'T! hee!

Vanilla.
That's how we make shakes for The Son when we go through phases of thinking he's too skinny and needs to put on some pounds. He loves them.
