With the marathon just two days away, my focus right now is on rest, nutrition, and carbo-loading. The rest portion I have down: bed by 9:30 – sleep by 10. The nutrition and carbo-loading are where my mind races. I’ve successfully completed two 20 milers and one 22 miler in training with my normal diet, [...]

A Note to My Legs
Posted in Breakfast, Marathon, Running, Training on August 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
To my legs – marathon training started yesterday. Please start working properly again. Thanks I think my legs thought they were still on vacation this morning. It took 4 miles and a quick stretch at mile 3 before they finally stopped feeling like I had weights tied to my ankles! I know I’ve lost some [...]
Melted Brie Never Disappoints
Posted in Breakfast, Farmers' Market Challenge, Market Meals on July 20, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I went to Headhouse on Sunday for one reason only – to get the brie melt from the Renaissance Sausage Truck. (You can read about my last trip to Headhouse here.) If there is ever a time for melted brie, it’s the morning after running 17 miles I thought I was coming for brie [...]
Plan of Attack: 20 in 24 Relay
Posted in Breakfast, Race, Running on June 4, 2010 | 10 Comments »
I had a few revelations on my 4 mile run this morning… 8am is officially too late to start a run. Ice needs to outweigh water in my water bottle in order for it to stay cold. I love sprinklers. In other words…it was HOT out. Before I set out to run, I had half [...]
My Crural Region Feels Great

In other words…my legs feel great . A good sign for the half this weekend! I started my summer Anatomy and Physiology class yesterday, so I’m immersed in learning the names of every part of the human body. Summer classes take a four month class and condense it to five weeks – so my mind [...]
And Then There Were Eggs

After a few days of oatmeal and yogurt combos, this morning I woke up craving eggs. I combined one egg and two egg whites with some chopped asparagus spears from dinner last night and 2% extra sharp cheddar cheese to create this beauty. I love getting vegetables in at breakfast I had a small [...]
A Day of Market Eats
Posted in Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Market Meals on May 18, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I woke up this morning excited for all the ways I could incorporate yesterday’s buys into my meals today. I started off with overnight oats, which I learned about from Kath’s blog here. I combined plain 0% greek yogurt, water and oatmeal and let it sit in the fridge overnight. In the morning, I topped [...]
A Birthday Breakfast
Posted in Breakfast, Running on May 16, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I woke up bright and early this morning to start my 26th year with my favorite breakfast – oatmeal mixed with frozen berries, fresh strawberries and almond butter. The berries and almond butter are store-bought, but I’m hoping to be able to replace them at one of the farmers’ markets I’ll visit soon! A few [...]
