Happy Saturday! I’m thinking about officially making Friday’s pizza night. Sadly, this is the best idea I’ve had in years. But the “thin crust” frozen pizza I bought was a scam. Don’t try to fool this Mexican – I know a tortilla when I see it! I stole a piece of Ben’s “real pizza” for carb-age.
More specifically, Friday should be Pizza and Wine night 
This morning I woke up and did my pre-run rituals – bathroom, change, iced coffee, PB&J toast, bathroom again…
I had 16 miles on the agenda with the last 3 at Marathon Goal Pace. Hey, why do I have a MGP with no marathon on the schedule. Because I’m considering one and want to decide after next weekend’s long run.
I ran to my favorite spot and Ben picked me up 16 miles later. He rocks.
16 Miles – Average Pace 8:39
My splits weren’t very even but that’s partially because the route.
When I got home I had a quick bowl of cereal. Yes, that would be the last of the Kashi Crisp. It lasted all of 3 days…
Then, I hit up Whole Foods on the way to my mom’s. I spotted this new Larabar find – uber. I didn’t get one because I’m a chocolate girl and these were all fruit.
And my post-run ritual… Whole Foods Salad Bar. A little bit of everything and a new bigger can of Stevia. I tried the Ginger Root-beer because my stomach has been randomly hurting and I’m hoping the ginger would help.
I really wanted quinoa and there wasn’t a good quinoa salad today. Oh well, guess I have to go back…
On a bed of kale (why don’t I buy kale anymore?!)… vegan ratatouille, grilled veggie couscous, baked ziti, old fashioned potato salad, chicken masala, tabouli…
Now I’m blogging from my Nina’s car enroute to my cousin’s baby shower. She lives in B.F.E, California so we’re carpooling.
See ya later!
i don’t understand your line of thought. could you make it clearer please?http://www.ouvirmusicagratis.net
i cant imagine running 16 miles! kudos to you!
The California Pizza Kitchen’s Margerite (sp) frozen pizza is super good and tastes fresh. You should try that one too.
I would have stolen Ben’s pizza too. Thin-crust “pizza” is not pizza. My husband and I affectionately call it “cracker pizza” because it’s like you’re eating a cracker with toppings. No thanks!
I love ur blog!!! Why don’t you eat a slice of real pizza tho…maybe you’ll be left more satisfied?
PS- zevia is the shizzz.
I do eat “real” pizza when I’m out 🙂 at home I try to make it healthier.
Why’re you running your long runs at race pace, chica? You should follow a legit training plan and you’ll perform lots better in races.
I’m following a training play, I just suck at pacing myself.
I feel the same way about kale! I was on a huge kick and for some reason just stopped. I want to start buying it again too!
Since I know you sometimes drink the skinnygirl margaritha, i thought this article might intrest you: http://fitceleb.com/bethenny-frankels-skinnygirl-pulled-off-shelves-for-health-reasons/
Wow! Thanks for sharing!!
B.F.E? Maybe it’s a joke I don’t understand 🙁
“Bum Fck Egypt” you never heard that?
Great pace on your 16 miles! I with I had a WF salad bar in my kitchen to come home to every night, that would be perfect. Oh and one at the office too please.
pizza is the best long run fuel!
Great job on 16 miles! I havent been to Whole Foods hot food / salad bar in far too long!
We usually have Papa Murphy’s pizza every few weeks. It makes me feel like I’m cooking. 😉
MONICA-
we must be buying the same type of cereal.
some sort of defect where it only lasts for 2-3 days at a time…
nothing to do with only having “ONE BOWL” aka ONE BUCKET.
solution:
bigger boxes…
are ya with me.
nice work on the 16miles.
I say just DO IT. on the Marathon. sign up. get it girl.
So on the same cereal page!
I know, I know I should sign up…
I love greasy Pizza Hut. just love.
Very speedy 16 miles! Nice run! I have never had the whole foods bar! I better remedy that someday…!
We have pizza night most Fridays. I can’t imagine running sixteen miles, I ran ten today and barely made it. You are a rock-star!
Baby shower? Better you than me 🙂 Is it bad I hate them? Except the inevitable cake… love the cake.
I went to the Veggie Grill in Irvine for the first time today, partly because of your post awhile back (and because my husband likes it). Not too bad! We’re going vegetarian for lent 🙂
Ah! You were so close. Let me know next time 🙂
great run!
A box of puffins rarely lasts more than 2 days in my house haha
nice pace on your run!! i havent seen those uber bars in stores yet around here…i love lara bars though but im with you..chocolate all the way!
