CNY2NYC Group Run and Healthy, Healing Gluten Free Pancakes

UPDATE:  NYC Marathon CANCELLED.  Read this post and STILL run for a good cause. For some people running ING NYC Marathon is a life long dream.  Imagine the disappointment when the runner is faced with the option of whether to run hoping for the best in the aftermath of disaster or defer an entire year, after all those months of training.  It’s a tough choice.  It’s tough not to consider the folks that are trying to recover from storm damage. The farthest thing from their mind is supporting a marathon.  But on the flip side, the marathon brings in millions [...]

CNYEats A Taste of Utica Tabouli

Quick Announcement!  I made "FEATURED BLOGGER" on Trufflehead. Check it out! Tabouli? or LEGS?  Let’s start with my legs.  They’re recovering from the marathon. To be honest, if it wasn’t for my calf, I wouldn’t feel the need for recovery. I feel good…FELT good after the run. It was my head that hit the bad spot. You train daily with a goal in mind, to run the Philadelphia Marathon (or what ever event), the day comes and goes, and BAM! You feel good so what do you do now? That’s the let down. You flounder. You WANT to rest but [...]

Food Scale and Nutrition plus Lemon Garlic Rigate with Sardines

I have to tell you guys about The Perfect Portions Scale.  This post might sound like an advertisement but REALLY, I’m so thrilled with my new nutrition calculator/scale it can’t go unmentioned. Now you know I’m a gadget person so I’ll try all sorts of new promotions which inevitably end up collecting dust.  This food scale has earned the “luxury suite” in my kitchen.  No dust will be collected on this little baby.  The scale has been featured on the Dr. Oz show as well as in Oprahs O Magazine so maybe you’ve heard of it?  It’s the perfect companion [...]

23 Glorious Miles and Millet Salad

Today was my last long run before the marathon.  For confidence sake, I had to do 23 miles. It started out as a really bad run, got heaps better, went a bit down hill, then ended on a good note. I wore the top and skort that is the outfit for my marathon. I wore the pace band around my lower arm to protect against the chafe that the phone sleeve gives me.  I wore my Newtons and my Injinji socks.  I had the running fuel which I planned to use for the marathon. Banana, Gu Shot, Clif Shot, Sports [...]

Running Hallelujah and Bob’s Red Mill Grande Grains

The alarm went off an hour later than normal for a weekday. It was plenty of  time to get Shane out and go 4 or 5 miles. Preferably 5 miles to crank up the weekly total. That should put me within my weekly mileage goal of 50 after the 5K race tomorrow.  I’ll run my warm up 2 miles with Shane then the Rome Race and kiss this weeks running good bye. Hallelujah. I switched off the alarm and contemplated my motivation to run. It was Friday. It was a short run.  Oh what the hay… just do it!  There [...]

New Foods and Crab with Noodles

Calling all runners, exercise enthusiasts, and everyone in between! Here is a quote we all need to remember by Alan Robinson- 56 years old and partially paralyzed marathon runner: Don’t be concerned with what you can’t do. Work on what you can do – then count your blessings. Tuesday, I did a tempo run slower than I wanted.  The above quote made me realize I should be grateful to do it at all.  Total miles Tuesday = 9.53.  Leg workout with weights before the run. Exhausting! Wednesday, 8.04 road miles, preceded by a weight workout for back and shoulders.  Did you [...]
