Mmm...carbs...

Today was my first official half marathon (I say it that way because while I've run two 25K races before, this was my first clocked 13.1 miles). We were up at 6 and I had my typical pre-run breakfast of sprouted grain toast, natural peanut butter, honey, and a banana. Then it was off to the race! It was FREEZING here, literally, and the adrenaline was flowing. Great day for a run! Sunny and crisp. Though my toes didn't thaw until my shower... Ha! Glad to have that over with.

After the race I was overcome with carb envy and consumed, in the space of 8 hours, the following most-definitely-not-clean-but-ohhh-so-good foods:

2 hotdogs with white buns

A few plain Lays potato chips

1 black bean veggie burger with a wheat bun

2 cinnamon-sugar donuts

Coffee...oh, my sweet sweet coffee! With half and half, of course!

1 cup of cider

Peanut brittle

Sour gummy bears

Slice of chocolate pudding cake

Chili with pasta

2 slices buttered cheddar-garlic bread

1 gluten-free beer

And now I'm going to sleep off my carb coma and crank up the clean eating machine tomorrow. Oh, and I smoked my goal time: finished in 2:16 and was aiming for 2:30.

Cheers!
