Menu Planning 11/25 & Weekly Goals

We are about to enter a strange week with Matt home since my parents are on vacation we are splitting the week home so I thought I'd try a new thing this week and make a list along with looking at workout goals. Here's what is ahead for us this week, plenty of food with leftovers for the work week and a new Pad Thai recipe now that I have the missing ingredient. 

 Today is also Day 1 of the big Gluten Free experiment with O so lots of planning ahead. Let's hope this works! 

Dinner
Black Bean Soup
Pad Thai (I finally have the tamarind paste!)
Pre-run Sandwich and fruit x 2
Pizza
Dinner Out
Roasted Cauliflower & Red Curry Squash

 Workouts
Sunday: Short run & elliptical 
Monday: Weights
Tuesday: AM spin/ PM run
Wednesday: Weights & easy run
Thursday: AM Pilates/ PM run
Friday: AM Weights/ PM Spin
Saturday: Long run

 I am taking part in a couple holiday challenges and need to focus starting today on my eating, next up giving up diet soda again. After many years of no soda I gave in to extreme fatigue and have been back to drinking a few cans a week.

 Looking ahead to 2013 and taking advantage of Black Friday weekend race discounts, some local races are offering 1/2 price entries or free races when you register for others in the series, nice! This will help me reach my goal of 13 halfs in 2013. What is your 2013 goal? Are you in for 13 in 2013, details on the way...

    I tried gluten free when I changed to a vegan diet. It's tough! Everything has gluten. I ended up a gluten minimalist :)

      Gluten free is tough with all the hidden things, I do fine with minimal gluten but any more and I am suffering!

GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

All runners know that post marathon week(s) are filled with the fight to keep eating healthy yet indulge a little. I try to carry healthy snacks wherever I go to avoid the munchies. Needing gluten free makes finding healthy foods quick even tougher. I have my go to foods but love finding new options with such variety. I think my only complaint is the carb to protein ratio which for each bar is 3 or 4:1. I prefer a snack more along the 2:1 carb to protein ratio. To help this I add a few extra nuts to the bars when I have them for a snack, problem solved!

Turkey Day 5K

We have run this "race" many times, through name and sponsor changes, course changes and nasty weather. This year I went into it with hopes of a PR considering the perfect weather, but I failed to think about the massive amounts of people who would decide to run now that it wouldn't be too cold. I'm not sure the exact numbers but there had to be well over 5000 people, many who had no clue how to line up for a race. I lost track of the extreme numbers of walkers, kids, strollers and dogs I passed after it took almost 10 minutes to cross the start line! I spent much of my time weaving and trying not to trip over dog leashes or people stopping in mid course. I pleased to hit Mile 1 with a 7:40, still 1 minute over where I hoped but I figured much slower given the conditions. I finally found a guy to follow who making a path through the course and was able to hold that pace with a little trail running through the downtown parks. I didn't care since it was Nove

A few Races...

Image
Stillwater half was my final pre-marathon race. The weather was a mess, hot humid and gross! I ran with the 1:40 pacer to keep a nice pace and actually held myself back the first haf but yikes then we turned to the road and no shade and it all faded! I struggled to keep the "easy" pace as did everyone around me. I was happy to finish just 45 secs behind the pacer 1:40:45 and not too far off my goal of 1:38. That heat was brutal... Photo credit Stillwater Gazette Grandmas Marathon  For those who don't follow me on IG  @marathonmom28  here is the short version... I started great, on pace to PR then I became hypothermic (yes in June) and once the rain started it was painful (thank you Raynaud's). I finally walked off the course between mile 19-20 where Matt met me with dry clothes and a warm car. Grandmas this is strike 3, I think I am done!  I spent the car ride home thinking of next races and wondering if I could jump back in, (dumb I know). As we drove
