Free giveaway - See's Lollypops. See's is a west coast candy place that I learned about after I started dating Bill. They have yummy chocolates!! The giveaway is a box of their lollypops - chocolate/butterscotch/vanilla/coffee flavored. They are a good treat for the sweet tooth and about 80 calories a pop.
Just answer this question: What do you eat the day before a long run or race?
I will pick one response randomly on Tuesday, Dec 30 after 3pm. Enjoy!
Candy corn (Brach's only - I'm a candy corn snob) and french fries. This is a sad statement about my diet.
ReplyDeleteI don't necessarily have a food...more like foods that I definately AVOID...like broccoli..chinese food...pretty much anything that makes me bloated or gives me gas...hehehe..
ReplyDeleteOooooo a lolly giveaway, eh? Yum-o!
ReplyDeleteOK this is sad but I have no idea. I mean, I don't really plan my meals unless it's 1-2 hrs before I actually run and then I stay away from hot peppers and a lot of sugar but other than that anything goes HAHAHAA
I didn't know See's was a West Coast thing?? We do have them all over the place here!!
ReplyDeleteOh so, I usually carbo-load. Lots of pasta or rice. Actually, I am like the human garbage disposal the day before the race. I eat just about anything and everything in the anticipation of burning a lot of calories! ;-)
I don't know if I really have a certain food that I eat the day before a long run, but there are definitely foods I avoid... such as fast food, most restaraunt food... especially mexican or even pasta with creamy or oily sauces.
ReplyDeleteoh la la, I remember seeing them at the airport somewhere and I really wanted to buy a box..not sure why but maybe just cause they look good!
ReplyDeleteA Christmas present that you didn't want? :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite night-before meal (race or long run) is good bread, good pasta sauce, and good salad. Not much protein in that, unless I add some cheese to the salad, but so so good.
Oh, fun!
ReplyDeleteBefore my long training runs I eat the same dinner...plain baked chicken, brown rice and a small portion of some green veggie.
I don't have a specific food? Probably just make sure I've had enough carbs, not too much alcohol, and plenty of hydration!
ReplyDeleteI up the carb intake, but don't eat any particular food.
ReplyDeletei always eat toast, peanut butter, with banana on top! sometimes a little bit of honey! YUM!
ReplyDeleteI don't have anything in particular, just avoiding high fiber or high fat foods. I usually have 1 beer the night before, I count that as carb loading haha
ReplyDeleteassuming the run is in the morning, i've had the best luck with oatmeal and brown sugar, with some banana or part of a bagel to munch on closer to the start.
ReplyDeleteI will eat anything the day before a run. Penne alla Vodka is a fav. Oh, and See's candies are the best.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, boring pasta, pretzels, and I drink a lot of water (which is normal).
ReplyDeleteI don't eat anything specific the day before a long run, I just try to stick to food I am use to eating. I have found that if I eat something new or exotic I might end up with stomach issues. The morning of a race or long run, I stick with powerbars because I now my stomach can handle it.
ReplyDeleteI don't have anything too exciting the night before a race. Pasta. Right before a race, I must have a peanut butter and jelly sammy.
ReplyDeleteyou guys dont have sees?!?! its funny when you just think some things are everywhere.
ReplyDeleteday before a long run... for dinner i usually eat pasta with red sauce and the morning before i eat toast with PB :)
normally oatmeal with PB and some maple syrup in it.
ReplyDeleteI make sure I drink plenty of water and alternate it with my electolyte drink. The day before I eat whatever I want but something usually low on fiber.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you look great I can't believe the littlest runner will be here so soon...I loved that cake, too cute!!
