Remember when I was in New York filming videos for the ING Class of 2012?
I did a series of videos about “Marathon Meals” – basically healthy food ideas for marathon training. 
My first video is up NOW on the ING Runner’s Nation Facebook Page.
The first recipe is for the beautiful quinoa dish – ‘member?
The recipe is called Herbed Quinoa Tabbouli, it’s from Redbook Magazine.
Please check out the ING Runner Nation FB Page to share this clip and all the others we did. This series is meant for everyone training for an event this year – hope you like it! Plus, my fellow 2012 classmates have super helpful and funny videos too!
I will soon be adding an ING Marathon Training Tab to the top of the page so you can check out my training and all these fun segments in one place.
I can’t eat anything before my runs or workouts unless I want a puke-fest. Even liquids eg coffee throws me off balance sometimes. For runs above an hour, I take an isotonic drink at the one hour mark and every hour. I don’t like gels and prefer “real” food eg raisins. I’ve a protein shake/supplement after my workouts.
The recipe! Yes!! I would have guessed that the cheese was feta, but mozzarella sounds good, too…though I’m a huge feta lover so I’d probably try it out with that. Thanks for sharing!
You are great on camera!! This recipe is def going in the to be made category once I move into my new apt!!
Just watched it and loved it!! You have such a great personality!
You look great! That meal looks delicious!
Fun fact! Quinoa is not a grain, but rather – a seed!
That is a beautiful dish, and you also look so beautiful on camera!
How exciting! I need to try this, it looks delicious!!!
Oh man, you ING Class of 2012-ers look so great in your photo! What a fun opportunity!
Great job! You looked very comfortable on camera.
Love the video! I get excited when I see any new vid from you (don’t mean to sound creepy!)!
I felt like I was splurging when I bought a big bag of quinoa, but it’s totally worth it. The premade quinoa salads in the grocery store are so much more expensive than making your own.
Great video, Monica!!! You’re fab on video!
Great video!! Also, I guess I’ve been pronouncing quinoa wrong all this time! Woops.
you did a great job Monica! Congrats!! also, love how you did your makeup. 🙂
