OK baby girl, enough with the bike riding birthday breakfast bonanzas – you’ve got a marathon you’re supposed to be training for. Oh shoot, you’re right! Well, it’s Saturday, so I guess that means we’re running long today, eh? A few weeks ago I made my own version of Brendan Brazier’s Direct Fuel Bites for … Read more
When it comes to what to eat after workout or run, I don’t think much beyond “eat real food” unless that workout has been particularly long and hard. (I am purposefully ignoring the obvious joke here. This post just started!) The neighborhood running group I occasionally run with sent an email yesterday saying they were … Read more
Welp, a trail race was on the agenda for this morning! 10 kilometers to be exact. Yes sir – 10 cold, rainy, snowy and more rainy kilometers. On the agenda. Also on the agenda? A bunch of lessons to be learned. Get ready to take some notes. Stay in the car as long as you … Read more
1. I failed to remember to charge my Garmin before bed last night, thus I ran today with my old school (now seemingly very little in comparison) digital watch that doesn’t tell me anything fun or exciting. 2. My left arm felt amazingly light with no 3 lb garmin strapped to it. So light in … Read more
Having started last Saturday with a fast 7 miles, I decided this Saturday would be another long run – but this one at a comfortable pace and maybe a little further. Matt’s post on Stu Mittleman got me revved up for an enjoyable long run and today was the day. I wasn’t sure exactly how … Read more
Yesterday during a grocery store excursion I was very excited to see young coconuts in produce! I haven’t seen them in ages and when I spotted three of them all in a row, I very happily played Eeny Meeny Miny Moe Get in the Cart and Let’s Go. My-Mother-Says-You-Are-The-Very-Best-One. With my sweet little young coconut … Read more
I’m going to spoil the ending by jumping ahead and saying right at the start that today was probably one of the best runs of my entire life. The day started at 4:55 AM when I woke up a half hour before my alarm was supposed to go off. I slept like a rock and … Read more
I got up this morning thrilled to find we were back online almost business as usual, thanks to Zak working his late night his magic when he got home. It was like we had a visit from Internet Claus. After playing a little online catch up this morning I headed out for a run. I … Read more
It’s race day! I got up and made myself a glass of green juice for some pre-race fuel. I use to eat a bagel or oatmeal before races but now I’m a green believer. I couldn’t decide if I wanted coffee before the race or not. By the time I decided I did want a … Read more
Zak is off today to catch up on family time, so I decided today would be a good day to make up for no running for two days and get a sorta long run in too. I got up to whip up the best pre-run fuel I could think of. A Tequila Green Lemonade Sunrise. … Read more
