Pearson’s Candy makes some of our very favorite treats. Pearson’s started in the Candy business in Minneapolis in 1909! They’re famous for their Salted Nut Roll, Mint Patty, and Bun Bars, and other tasty confections- treats we deserve after a great run. Don’t tell, but athletes don’t stick to health food. A treat motivates like nothing else.
Reward yourself. Here’s how:
1. You managed to fit in a few miles on the treadmill when the weather wouldn’t let up. How about a Bit ‘O Honey? We call it sweet victory that fits in your gym bag.
2. Another way to spread the running sweetness? You text some of your favorite buddies and hit the trail- together. It’s not bribery but rather “incentivizing” when you cleverly stash some Salted Nut Rolls in your car for a post-run surprise. Pro Tip: That’s how you start a loyal running group.
3. And then there are those fellow runners who recommend new trails or insist on training with you when your motivation is at a low. Friends like that are worth a mint- a Mint Patty, right?
