I want to scream it at the top of my lungs…
BIG NEWS! GLO BARS WILL OFFICIALLY BE SOLD IN A STORE!! :mrgreen:
It was so much hard work to get here and I finally got my first order today for Glo Bars to be carried in a large health food store in Thornhill, Ontario. This health food store is amazing and I couldn’t be more proud to have my bars on their shelves. However, I don’t want to jinx myself, so I am going to wait until the bars are actually on the store shelves before I tell you where they will be sold! I hope that those of you in the area will stop by next week and show your support! :) I will be revealing the exact location shortly…
Whew. Very exciting morning.
In other news, I am trying to post twice a day now. I am testing it out to see how it goes! My goal is shorter and more frequent posts. I think this will be more manageable for me rather than one huge post a day. No promises yet though! ;)
Breakfast was another Carrot Cake Green Monster. Lunch was quick, healthy, and delicious…
Amy’s Reduced-sodium Split pea soup:
Mary’s Crackers with hummus:
Red Pepper with balsamic:
High in iron—MULBERRIES!
Stems and all. ;)
I did not have time to do a health news round up while away on vacation so I thought I would put one together today to catch up on some great health links from the past week!

Tough one, eh?? :)
I picked win a race of any distance because that is probably the least likely for me. However, one of my shorter term goals is to come in the top three in my age group. I did that for my first race- a fairly small 10k- and I would like to do it again! What did you pick?
Today is another rest day for me because I am a bit sore from my 10k mock race yesterday! Need to rest up in case I end up racing this weekend… :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how far you will drive for a race! It was fun to read. I would love to organize a big race meet-up at some point. I have always wanted to run a race in San Francisco—anyone have any good races to suggest? :)
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! i wish the store could be Boston College dining hall ;)
you’re so accomplished!! love it.
i adore split pea soup. especially with mary’s crackers… you definitely introduced me to those and i’m never turning back haha
Congratulations!! That’s so exciting about Glo Bars!
As much as I want to run a marathon some day, I’d pick win a race of any distance because I think this would just be SO cool.
cognrats! that is awesome.
and yes, pls let us know what store. I live in aurora and thornhill is very close to me. i will for sure go check em out and purchase some!! yay!
Congrats!
I picked to win a race of any distance because that’s the one that’s least likely to happen for me right now. I have plans to do the other 4 things within the next couple of years, but it’s harder to plan winning a whole race!
YAAAAAY CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!
I picked “win a race of any length” but really, I’d like to just complete one!
CONGRATS! That’s awesome that all your hard work paid off. And blogging twice a day? you go girl!
CONGRATULATIONS ANGELA!Way to go! That is so exciting! Hope they come to Vancouver one day soon :)
Ok I SO know but I don’t wanna jinx ya. Does it start with an “A”? If so that is my MOST favourite store ever! Amazing selection, even better prices. I am like a kid in a candy store when I’m there. I wish there was one in the west-end. Congrats!
HUGE news! Congrats!!
Congratulations! That is such great news! You should consider participating in the Ottawa Race Weekend here in O-town. It is so much fun and the energy of all the runners is amazing!
Congratulations! You’ve worked so hard and deserve all of the success that is coming to you!
Congratulations!! I’m sure there’s no way you can jinx yourself – you’ve got an amazing product, and now more people get to know about it!! Yayyy! :-D
congratulations!!! i think i know which store you mean in thornhill. exciting!!!
Yay in stores that’s awesome, great job.
Congrats on getting GLO BARS into your local health food store – AWESOME! I can’t wait to see them in the states too :)
It’s sooooo cool because I’ve watched your success from back when you first started your blog….You completely deserve everything that is coming your way :)
eek! love the blog (new-ish reader here). what do mulberries taste like? my interest is piqued!
Wow, congratulations!! You have worked so hard for this and you really deserve it! :)
I picked qualify for Boston, similarly because I think it’s the least possible for me. After finishing my first half last month, I know I’ll definitely be able to run a marathon one day (when I have enough time for the training). Winning my age division would be fun, but not top priority for me. I know there are lots of faster runners out there, I’m just happy improving my own time. And skydiving is so not an option for me EVER!
Congrats spreading glo bars! That’s so exciting!!
Congrats on the run, the bars, and taking a well-deserve rest day!
Congrats!! This is great news to hear! If you ever make a globar without peanut butter or peanuts, I would love to try it. :) I’m not allergic – I just don’t like the taste of PB. Almond butter is my love. :D
A triathalon sounds interesting, but I think I’d rather stick to one activity – running or swimming.
