I got a Snickers Marathon Energy Bar in the goody bag I got before the Rochester Marathon. I love Snickers Bars. They are my favorite candy bar. I don’t eat a lot of candy, but when I buy a candy bar, it is usually a Snickers Bar. I considered bring the Snickers Marathon Energy Bar with me when I ran the half marathon, but decided against it. Since I have never eaten one, I didn’t want to eat my first during a race. I brought some regular fun-size Snickers Bars long for the race instead.
Well I wanted to try the Snickers Marathon Energy Bar to see what it was like, so I ate it before my 7 mile training run today. It was horrible! Yuck! I am glad I didn’t bring it with me for the race. Thankfully it didn’t upset my stomach or anything. But I was sloshing water and diet pepsi around my mouth trying to get rid of the taste. I think I will stick with regular Snickers Bars thanks! At least I know that I don’t like them!
