Once we got home from the race we showered and I hit the blogs while Ben hit the bed for a nap. He tried to con me into joining the nap, but I always feel like they leave me groggy. Anyone else?

I was not about to cook tonight and asked Ben for ideas. He said he wanted a “good salad”, which means he wanted one packed full of hearty (high cal) ingredients. But I am always down for a salad, so we decided to order in from Lucille’s.
We shared a BBQ chicken salad…
corn chowder (it was just okay)
and the most amazing biscuits around. I don’t think the sugar glaze on top of Lucille’s biscuit is necessary – especially when it’s paired with Apple Butter! But, I still had one and a half. No shame. 
In other news, since Half Marathons are my favorite distance I’ve decided to become a Half Marathon Fanatic. 
There are several different levels of the fanaticism, but I’m shooting for Uranus. I’m also trying to get to the Uranus level of Half Fanatics 
Basically, you get the honor of calling yourself a Half Marathon Fanatic if you run 3 half marathons within 90 days to get to the most basic level – which I’ve already done by running: Long Beach (full, but it counts), Malibu and Las Vegas!
Now my goal is to run 5 more half marys in the next 5 months to get to the next level!
I hope I can count on your support in getting to Uranus!!!
Mmm i LOVE biscuits! oh and salads, sometimes 😉
Good luck on RUNNING TO URANIS! I dont think youll have any problems getting there
I’m pretty sure I qualify for some of those… I once did like 5 halves in a couple of months. This year… zero so far! =P
I second the nap thing, although sometimes they can’t be avoided (like me… taking one in about five minutes…)
Good luck on your Uranus journey! I hope you hit that level with ease 🙂
If I even touch my bed after a race, I’m done. And usually in for the night, too. But what a great nap it is!
I always feel worse after naps. I wish I could feel refreshed, but it just doesn’t work that way for me!
Yay! Half-Fanatics! I am Half-Fanatic #595 and I reached the most basic level (Neptune) last year in October by running 2 half-marathons in 6 days. I’m aiming to hit the Uranus level this fall. Best of luck in your quest – the shirt is awesome and one of my favourites to run in!
I kind of love that you’re shooting for Uranus…
I like naps but don’t usually take them intentionally… I end up just passing out on the couch or something. My boyfriend loves naps and sometimes I’ll try to take one with up but usually end up laying there until he falls asleep then I get up and go do something else (blog stalk) until he wakes up!
GOOD LUCK on your mission! I’m sure you’ll get there 🙂
I just ran my first half yesterday and loved the distance! I’m not at all interested in doing a full but am already ready for another half!
Congrats on your first half!!!
I think your full should count as 2 halfs for Fanatic purposes.
I know! It doesn’t though 🙁
You’re going to be so great in Uranus
Thanks for the support!
Good luck on your mission. I’m not a napper either, although one sometimes attacks unexpectedly if I sit down in a comfy chair. I wake up groggy, queasy and feeling much worse than I did pre-nap.
I love, love, love naps–cool sheets, a warm blanket, a dark room and I’m a happy camper!
You make naps sound so inviting 🙂
I physically can’t take naps. Maybe I’m allergic.
No shame indeed, hahahahah
i cant nap, it leaves me all awkward. me no likey
Uranus mission has my full support 🙂
Also, naps make me really groggy too. Maybe it’s because the only time I ever take them is when I don’t sleep all night, so by the time I fall asleep for ‘just 20 minutes’ my body thinks it’s time to sleep 8 hours!
