    Hello, my name is Vicky and I am a bean-a-holic

    VICKY:
    Yup.  I am a bean-a-holic.  I know, I know, I don’t look like your typical bean-a-holic.  I sure didn’t think it would happen to me.  I thought it was only those hardcore runners that went all crazy on the beans.  But let this be a lesson to all of you out there…it can happen to any of us, even beginners.  I mean look at them with their flashy red, blue, orange and green colours.  They may look like plain old harmless jelly beans but let me tell ya, just when you think you’re having only one or two, WHAM!  You’ve emptied all four tiny bags of sport beans you just bought from the running store.

    GRANT:
    It’s like she never saw it coming.  None of us did.  At first, I saw her stroll in to work with her little tupperware full of beans and I thought, ok so she has a sweet tooth.  It was all very harmless at first.  Then, she started to get all edgy.  This one time, she spilled her beans and well, let’s just say that wasn’t a pretty sight.

    VICKY:
    Ya’ll have to be careful out there.

    GRANT:
    Seriously, look at her…she’s got crazy in her eyes…

    VICKY:
    They strike when you least expect it and next thing you know…you’re addicted.  Sure, they are packed with electrolytes and vitamins but what they don’t tell you is how good they taste.

    GRANT:
    So I did an intervention and I think she’ll be just fine.  She starts BA (Beans Anonymous) in a couple of days.

    Self-described “running nerds,” Vicky and Grant are co-workers who “spend their lunch hours at the nearest bookstore and will often be seen around the office getting excited about a new energy bar or running gadget.” The duo captured our attention with their unique (double) take on Running Blog Idol, pledging to address a host of different topics including Canadian running heroes. Their submission to our contest even included a sample vlog (available at youtube.com/watch?v=oy4oDokN1Qo), which they promise is “but only a mere example of the lengths we are willing to go in order to share our experience, knowledge, research and general ramblings.” Holy multimedia, Batman!
