I Must Run Everywhere
I'm happy to introduce a new/old runner who is a prolific writer with a unique sense
of humor. Jim Johnson offered to republish a few of his articles from his blog, "I must Run Everywhere."

Ohh, I want to get my hands on Clif
When you go to the nutrition/energy bar section at the store, which brand and flavor do you reach for?
I’ve tried many brands, but I buy Clif bars most often. I support the company’s ethos as well. Chocolate brownie is my favorite flavor. No surprise for someone who likes chocolate.
I know you’re supposed to use energy bars in conjunction with a workout or training, but I sometimes buy them as a snack or treat. They’ve become a substitute for candy bars.
I used to buy Luna bars a lot, and I was very worried that I’d be stopped at the check stand or told to take my business elsewhere.
However, not once was I caught, and I often gave myself a fist pump after walking out because I’d gotten away with something. As you can see in the below photo, the phrase under LemonZest tells you what I got away with.
On a few occasions when I know I’m going to be in the company of someone I don’t care for, like Sprint McDowell, I choose the berry-flavored Power Bar. Because of its color, it looks like a giant tongue after being properly shaped, and it’s easy to show displeasure.
After today, my post schedule will change. Instead of once a week, I’m going to do them intermittently, without sticking to a schedule.
As I’ve done before, I will offer refunds if you feel you’re being short-changed. Mail your request to me, and if I receive it within 10 days, I will double your refund!
