Attention endurance athletes: try making your own sports drink at home to save money! This recipe offers close to the same nutritional profile of commercial sports drinks (e.g. Gatorade), offering 50-70 calories per 8 ounces (250 mL) with about 110 milligrams of sodium, but at a much lower cost. Get creative and try mixing different blends of juices (such as cranberry and lemonade) instead of orange juice to mix up the flavour options.
Ingredients:
| Sugar | ¼ cup | 50 g |

| Orange juice (not from concentrate) | ¼ cup | 60 mL |
| Lemon juice | 2 Tbsp | 30 mL |
| Cold water | 3.5 cups | 875 mL |

I missed rinnung with the Saturday group this week, but we closed Hershey Park on Friday night. I used Saturday as my rest day and completed 9 miles this afternoon. Bob, I will be glad to participate in the Gut Check in some fashion. We need to wait until we get the soccer schedules until I know how I will be able to participate.
