And so far the best thing I have to say about it is that Monday only comes once a week. I am stressed up to my eyeballs right now and yesterday I dealt with it by eating ALL of the things. I was making a box of goodies to mail to my hubby and I “tasted” each and every item that went in it. Restraint was shown in certain areas so that there would still be food to mail, but wow I fell of the healthy eating bandwagon in a big way (I also ate a semi-unregulated treat meal for dinner on Friday – terrible idea before a long run).
I am happy to say that my running didn’t suffer as a result of my crazed carb and fat consumption (chocolate chip cookies, cake balls with french buttercream filling, Reese’s pieces Chex muddy buddies). I ran my 11 miles Saturday morning as a 3:1 finishing strong with an 8:17, 8:04, & 7:35. I did a reasonable amount of climbing during the run and had an overall pace of 8:52. My recovery run yesterday hurt a little more but I still managed an overall 8:04.
I’ve got 3 weeks of training left to get down to PR pace for this half. It’s going to be close!
Katie is running. 
No worries!!! You’ll get there and we all fall off the wagon especially me … chocolate and cake are my vices when I don’t control it. Way to finish strong on your run chica!!! Annnnd if you have any tempting goodies left lying around you can FedEx them to Florida anytime!! 😉
Well, knowing your love of Reese’s, you’d probably love the Muddy Buddies I made: PB, chocolate & Reese’s pieces. It was pretty good!
Ummm … mouth … watering hahaha 🙂
Well, I can send you the recipe, or not, depending on your current diet.
I try to eat clean for the most part but I allow myself sweets 2-3 times a week to avoid a meltdown lol so I’m game 🙂
I pinned this and a couple of your other yummy recipes the other day to “my sweet tooth” board 🙂
Get it girl! I fell off the bandwagon in a major way one day the week before my race and I totes feel your pain. You kicked ass on your runs though! Keep up the good work 🙂 Those Reese’s will fuel your last few miles 😉
Thank you! I like your theory of Reese’s as fuel. I may need to find a way to bend science to make that work for me!
What an amazing run!! You’re going to hit your goal pace, I know it!! I have confidence in you!! Have a lovely week!! xoxoxo
I hope so! And you have a wonderful week as well.
