Relaxin and Eating After LA Marathon

What Runners Eat

16 Mar

Hi! Happy Monday! Are you ready to rock this week?

I spent last night relaxing and eatin’ after the LA Marathon. A LOT of both!

eating and relaxin

Vegas helped me relax while I iced my knee and watched House of Cards.

ice my knee with cat (600x800) eating cheese

Later he cuddled with my hoodie! Ha!

Highlights from my post-marathon eats included: french fries, cereal and avocado on everything (except the cereal).

avocado and bagels (800x600)

Plus this amazing chocolate chip cookie thing that was filled with chocolate. I don’t even know.

I wanted to show you a picture of the middle. But I also wanted to just eat it. So here is the one blurry pic I took while shaking from excitement:

Today is a lil Meatless Monday featuring soy chorizo for breakfast. I love eggs and avocado.

      I’m onto my 4th week with gel polish. Love this stuff. I always get it at the salon and have never tried the home version. Let me know if you DIY. 🙂

      When I first saw those Avocado’s I was like “wow why are the seeds bright yellow?” then I realized that was just the avocado. -_-

      I broke out the Wii Fit Plus, so I’m getting back into that. It can be a good workout, if you let it. 🙂
      I’m trying to build up my stamina again, and also working toward running.

      I read that same article on the LA Marathon! Super scary. I am starting to slowly start training this week. I mean real slowly…today I did a little over a mile.

      Nice work on your run! And you deserve all the food. I’ll be teaching a bunch of Les Mills classes this week, which serve as my workout. Life plan? Now that I’m not sure! 🙂

      Fitness plan – stick to my training plan! I’m running the West Point Half in less than two weeks and that elevation chart is NO joke!

      Fitness: enjoy the better weather after Saturday’s RainFest 2015 (aka RnR DC Half) with a few short runs and a long hike with a close friend.

      Meal: uh, the sangria I’m sipping right now and the coconut-AB-sugar free choco-chip squares chillin in the fridge?

      Life: too much work, dinner with friends and a housewarming for others. Lovin the spring!

      Glad you were okay with the marathon!

      Fitness plan – run the next 7 days. Marathon training and trying out the Hansons plan… It’s starting to get a bit challenging and I’m tired! Haha

      Meal plan – trying to eat better…. I don’t think a small container of pb a day is healthy! But damn, it’s addicting.

      Life plan – going back to school in May after graduating college 10 years ago….. Also selling our house, moving, quitting my job – all exciting but scary!

      You’re the hilarious-est (making it a word because it works). Since you posted the article about the homeless man who completed the LA marathon (so awesome!) thought you might be interested in Back on My Feet! They have an LA chapter, and are just the absolute best (running and eating are their specialties)! http://la.backonmyfeet.org

      I’m starting a little taper this week, for my race on Sunday! At least, that’s my excuse for sleeping in and cutting back my run lengths. Oh, and carb loading of course.

      I love your breakfasts! I wish I could cook eggs at home every morning.

      I just “ran” in my first full marathon this past Saturday, and I’m still so extremely sore; however my gym is having a “March Madness” competition based on our heart rate monitors, and I just made the cut for the “elite 8″… first place gets a free month and the pride of winning, of course. So it’s off to the gym I wobble!

      Fitness plan…yoga. After rolling my ankle 4 weeks ago, my first run back was Saturday and I rolled it again! 🙁

      Meal plan…try to remember that I’m not running so I cannot justify an entire pizza.

      Life plan….don’t have a meltdown over no running. I have a Ragnar trail run in 6 weeks that I’m stressing over now! Any tips??

      Meal plan – various boxes of Rice-a-Roni from the pantry mixed with variously seasoned grilled chicken and various veggies and salads. Excitement city.

      Life plan – a few runs after this past weekend’s 10k, watching the high school dance team state competition, and heading to the coast for some R&R. And work, but I choose to ignore that.

      meal plan is leftovers….i’ve got lots of it. pork chops and stew and dumplings….all cooked by my sister in law which makes it even better. =)
      I’m going to take a few days to recover from the NYC half that I rain yesterday (untrained). And as soon as I can move normally again I’ll do some easy runs toward the middle of the week.

      Vegas couldn’t take a bad photo if he tried. #photogenic

      Meal plan: sausage and peppers for dinner tonight, plus a free cone from DQ! (they are giving them away, apparently). Iced coffee and fruit to get me through the afternoon.

      Workout plan: get a couple of runs in, plus barre class with my pals on Friday evening. Maybe a few push-ups since tank top season is right around the corner 😉
