Hello! How’s it going?
This morning I had a banana with peanut butter before my run.
Then, I had another one later in the day so I feel like I’m on the banana diet! I definitely do eat a lot of bananas the week leading up to the race. I need the potassium to help avoid cramps during the race – something that used to happen every time!
Don’t be scared of the banana diet. It’s good!

Actually, I kinda want another banana right now – but that just might be because I want more peanut butter…
I dressed like a ginja ninja for my run so I thought I’d try to bust out my ninja moves and proceed to scream “HI-YA!!!”. I’m sure my neighbors appreciated that.
I had all the eggs for breakfast. And a pretty delicious salad for lunch with a few handfuls of rice crackers.
Then, I headed to Huntington Beach for the marathon expo.
I spotted my favorite companies at the expo – Sporthooks has these super cute danglers. My favorite state and favorite distance!
ProCompression was in the house too. Don’t forget my 40% off discount ends tomorrow!! Use code RER
And I made a friend!
I had a lil snack on the way there too. Quest Bars are my favorite.
And Vegas says hola!
Question: What food did you eat the most this week?
I am so far behind, so I am working on catching up. I have been on a protein kick…give me all the nuts and cheese.
I LOVE mixing honey in with my PB and then dipping my banana in it. It’s delicious! I’d have to say that one of my other favorite snacks is blueberries. I can’t get enough of those little guys!
Almond butter; specifically “Barney Bare Crunchy Almond Butter”; it’s a food without brakes for sure!
A picture with the Nesquick Bunny? So so jelly………. 🙂
Good luck for your race! I love bananas and I love that minions love bananas too 🙂 I ate a lot of pizza this week! It was awesome 🙂
This week I ate a lot of rice … I pretty much had rice every day. I might need to address that problem next week.
I ate a ton of rice today!
Jan 30 was my 31st birthday….. I drank a little bit that night (Haha!)
On the way back home, I was CRAVING bananas….. I ate 5 when I got home! (and I hate hate hate bananas….this was the strangest thing)
Happy Birthday!!!
And I love this story 🙂
Banana + peanut butter + toasted wheat germ =yummy!!
Bananas with NUTELLA!
I couldn’t stand bananas but I have forced myself to eat them especially when I started doing half-marathons. I am slowly starting to improve my diet in hopes my marathon time will get better though! Then I have a unsettling desire to attempt a full this year. Hope your run was good!
I love your banana-smiley! I recently became re-obsessed with bananas too – I let them get reallllly ripe which everyone thinks is gross haha. They are so good in greek yogurt sweetened with stevia, as a side to oatmeal – take a spoonful of that, then dip in some yogurt and banana round ooooo so good!

Not bananas. I dislike bananas. 🙁 I ate a lot of yogurt. Always yogurt.

Hi Monica, Thanks for your post. It reminded me on how much I love bananas and peanut butter. I am addicted to guacamole that I make myself. It helps me on my runs. Good luck on your race…

I literally hated bananas….till I started running! Strange huh?
