sports bean score
I took my son to the jelly belly factory to see how they were made, and to get a jelly bean fix.
I was hoping to find a deal on the sports beans. I can tolerate them without any problem. That's not necessarily a good thing. Anyhow they didn't have any great deal in the store, they were .99 for each little package, and they don't sell them in bulk. I was checking out and the cashier told me to check their discount store around the corner past their cafeteria. I went over there and I found the watermelon one with added caffeine selling 2 packages for $1.00. Score, then I turned around and I really scored on the sports beans. They have what they call belly flops. Those are the beans that stuck together or are misshapen. They were selling these in 1 pound bags for $2.00. I think I overdid it, I probably now have enough sports beans to last me for the next year.
Oh well the good part of it is I had my wife drop me and my bike off on the way home. I wanted to talk to a friend of mine about some running instruction. He coaches his kids high school track team, and he consistantly places in the local running events. He gave me some pointers and a little outline of what I should be working on. He looked at my times from the last couple races and told me I need to add some speed work. I knew I needed to, but I didn't really know how to start or how much to do. I want to make sure I get a good quality workout. My training sessions need to incorporate a workout as well as a learning/training experience.
I followed that visit up with a hour bike ride home to burn off some of those sports beans I sampled at the factory.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!
I'm sort of jealous even though Sports beans make me cramp up if I take them while running. But a pound for $2? That's a steal!

The factory is about an hour from my house.
If there was enough interest I'd go back over and make a big purchase.
Like I said these are all the irregulars. In most casees it's 2-3 beans that are stuck together.
There is no choice in flavor they are all mixed together. The ones I got were orange and red. It's all they had available at the time.
They had the watermelon flavor available 2 packs for a buck and all the other flavors were 1 dollar each.
I almost got myself a riding jersey, but all they had were small and x-small. Too bad because they were closing them out at 45.00 each.
