marathon Monday....

Happy Monday my friends!! 
So Ashley and I had a blast over at the vintage market on Saturday.  I had the chance to meet some fabulous blog friends and enjoyed everyones fabulous merchandise they were selling.  The market was such a success I have decided to have a treat for you all.  BUT you will have to wait until Thursday to see what it is :) 

So marathon Monday is here! I had a big run last night and I am feeling great about it.  I have been struggling this past week, running outside is NOT the same as the gym.  NOPE not at all.  My legs are hurting!! On top my sore legs, I was wondering why I have been feeling so weak lately.... not sure what is going on.  I had a great conversation with my cousin last night after my run and we have come to the conclusion I am not eating enough to keep up with all the energy I am exerting. 

I need help from you all.  I had SUCH great comments last Monday I loved it.  I downloaded all the songs you suggested and I have purchased a belt :) So my question for you this week is;  what do you eat while training?? I have trouble in this area but I know I need to keep up my energy.  I am not the best cook ever but I do cook weekly I just need some ideas.  This is where you come in.  Give me your besr dinner/lunch/breakfast recipes!

Now that the weather is cooling off a little bit more around here, i'm thinking of getting back into running. I miss it.

I'm glad you had a great run last night! I wish I could help you with what you should eat during training, but i have a horrible diet, even when I run so, Lol I don't think that would help much!

I'm cheering you on!! =D

You are so right, it isn't the same at all!! I don't like running, i don't mind running at the gym but, outside it just kills my body and is hard on my body more. I can't give you many suggestions because i'm kind of in the same boat as you. I always get weak after a workout, so i'll be watching for other suggestions!


In our sea of love

I love that the weather in MD is starting to cool down... it's making me a little more motivated to get my booty back into running shape! Glad to hear you're training well with some new music!

I'm a carbaholic after running/during any kind of training. Pasta is my downfall, but it gives me lots of energy! Also, try some high-calorie snack bars like Luna bars... and of course fruits and veggies! :)

Hmmm I not the healthiest eater so I'm not sure there! Working on changing that of course :) But awesome! That is sweet you are into running! I try but just get bored. Ha. But I am trying P90X and I think that is funner for me! Glad I found your blog! Good luck with the recipes and running :)

Best thing you can do is eat a banana before training/going for a run. It provides the right amount of energy to tide you over until you have a proper meal post-exercise. Afterwards I recommend a good hearty omelette (2 or 3 eggs) with toast. ;)

I don't really change up my diet that much when I am running. I do try to eat some sort of carb before a long run though to build up some energy. I try to get in the habit of not eating too late, nothing past like 7ish. Have you ever tried running gels on your long runs? Those make a big difference for me!

I do eat healthy, all the time. Gallbladder surgery has been a forced healthy diet for me! :) However, it's imperative that you get protein immediately post-run. I"m talking, a protein shake. Not food. Food takes hours to be totally absorbed. Liquid is absorbed much quicker. I personally have Muscle Milk (only 1 scoop, not 2). This was recommended by my ultra-marathoner friends as well as body-builder friends. Of course, you'll need to eat too, but just get some liquid protein in there first! :) Good for you for running outside, doesn't it feel great!?

I always eat jelly beans when I run! I remember reading about it somewhere once and thinking ;urgh, how weird is that?!' but it actually works really well!
Ps - love the new header!

The gluten free people are going to have a heart attack, but pasta is the best way to fuel the night before a long day of running. And I don't mean pasta like spaghetti and meatballs every night, there are lots of creative ways to eat pasta so you don't get sick of it before your big race. I recommend the food recipe site food52.com if you ever need ideas :) And when you're running you really want to keep it to easily digestible foods so you don't start cramping up, worst way to end a race, trust me :P
