Runner's World Festival: The FOOD!

-
I run so I can eat....I also eat so I can run.  Obviously this makes sense to me.   And the people at Runner's World must agree with me.


To say they went all out with the food they served us would be an accurate statement.  The food was amazing!  Our Friday luncheon came straight out of the Meals on the Run cookbook.




Whole Grain Panzanella was a favorite of mine!  The recipe (in the book) makes 4 servings in 25 minutes and 352 calories.  






Bow-ties with Tomato, Basil, and Avocado Sauce. The recipe in the book makes 4 servings, 25 minutes, 485 calories.  Super easy, super delicious!




Mediterranean Turkey Burgers.  The recipe in the book makes 4 servings, 30 minutes, 463 calories.  I loved the sun-dried tomato spread the most!  


And then dessert was High-Protein Chocolate Pudding!  The recipe in the book makes 6 servings in 5 minutes and only 136 calories!



My lunch disappeared quite quickly!  









And it all came from the Meals on the Run cookbook.  (which has 150 energy-packed recipes you can make in 30 minutes or less)



Of course I'm feeling quite motivated to cook from my new cookbook and meal planning this week is looking like this:

* Spicy Salmon and Rice Noodle Soup
* Sweet Potato Chicken Stew
* Soba Noodles with Peanut-Sesame Sauce


The recipes definitely mesh well with my clean eating that I've been following for the past 2 months.  I'll make some substitutions and add in gluten free pasta when needed, but other than that, I'm good to go!


I'm excited to try out these new meals out!

The (Wright) Right Socks for ME! + Giveaway

Socks are very important to a runner.   If they rub you the wrong way, it will make for a very uncomfortable run.  Bunching up, toes too cold, too hot, rubbing - all things that can go wrong with a sock.  I'm sure there are some other scenarios I've left out. Thanks to Tom and Kim at WrightSock , I had the chance to try some of their socks out.  Since I wear a size 9 and my size is borderline between a medium and a large, Tom thought it was best for me to try out   both the medium socks and the large socks. I was sent the Running II Double Layer Socks and the Merino TRL Double Layer Socks to try out.  I've never tried out double layer socks before.  Sometimes I have worn two pairs of socks in the winter, but there has been a lot of rubbing which has led to some unpleasant blisters.  Yuck. First up, Running II sock, retail price $12.00. I tried out the medium and large in the quarter sock.   I wore the mediums for my 12 miler with the girls on New Year's Da

Running at night scares used to terrify me.  But, it all comes down to if I want to run I had to get over this fear.  Running in the darkness is my only option if I plan on running Monday through Friday since it’s dark before school and getting dark when I leave school and it’s going to be this way until mid February/March.  I supposed option B would be to rejoin the gym, but I really don’t want to spend the $$ and I don’t really enjoy the treadmill anymore.  So, outside it is! I’ve put a lot of thought into what I need to feel safe to run at night.  First and foremost, I needed some new gear to help me out, which lead me to RoadID for some help in this area. This company is fantastic.  It was founded by Michael and Edward Wimmer, a father/son owned company.  Read the story here .  Last fall, I had purchased my own ShoeID.  I like the simplicity of it and that ease of putting it on any pair of shoes (with laces) as I head out the door.  There is some great comfort knowing t

Tommie Rocks + Giveaway!

 A little over a month ago, Jordan from  Tommie Copper  sent me some Tommie Copper gear to sample.  I nearly peed my pants with excitement when the Tommie package came in the mail.  It was a gorgeous fall afternoon AND I had new gear to try out, so I pushed dinner back and made the executive decision to go for a run immediately.  Have you heard about Tommie Copper ?  This company is known for it’s compression gear that is infused with Copper.  So, why does Tommie use copper in it’s compression gear?  From what I gather, copper has been used medicinally for 1000’s of years.  Apparently copper stimulates the immune system to fight infections, repairs injured tissues and promotes healing.  Do you think if I outfitted myself in TC gear and wore it to school everyday, I would fight off those gross elementary kid germs?  I’m tempted to try that out.  Seriously.   Why do people even wear compression gear?  Do they just like wearing tight clothing? Actually, Tommie’s compression line i
