Still eating like I'm running....

So far, tappering hasn't been too bad.  We'll see how I feel near the middle/end of the week when my race anxiety is sky high and I really need that running outlet!  

The biggest problem for me is to not eat like I'm running a 20-miler.  I only did 2 - 20-milers in the marathon training, BUT, that is all it took for me to really enjoy those eating days.  

I know I need my energy and I know I can't really stop eating, but I am positive I'm not really supposed to eat 5 of these!



After apple picking today, I had this urge to bake something, so I went to my old favorite - allrecipes.com for some ideas and this is what I came up with. 

Apple Pie Muffins!
They were incredibly easy and tasty to boot.  I know, I couldn't stop eating them. 

Here's the recipe with my slight alterations:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda

I was given the opportunity to review the Vega Sport.  I had been reading so much about Vega in the blog world and couldn’t wait to try out what Vega had to offer. 

Vega was developed by Brandon Brasier, professional Ironman triathlete.  He is also a best-selling author of plant-based nutrition.

The Vega Sport performance system is 100% plant-based, free from dairy, gluten and soy.  It does not contain any artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners.  Perfect for my Clean Food Challenge peeps out there.




Vega offers a comprehensive 3 stage system when it comes before, during, and after training. Actually, Vega breaks it down like this.

Sustain:   Electrolyte Hydrator,Endurance Gel,Endurance Bar

Runners need happy feet.   I think the nail polish really adds the happy touch on my feet because we know they definitely are not pretty!  
Needing happy feet means sometimes we need to take extra measures to take care of them.  Profoot could be the perfect place for you to turn for your foot needs.   I was contacted by Profoot a bit ago to try out some of their products.  I was happy to do so and Izzy, of course, was pleased to be my little model for the photo shoot.  
First up - The 2 oz Miracle orthotics


These are great!  I cut them to size.  Trust me, this is easy because all you had to do is cut along the lines.  They are incredibly thin and easy to fit in just about any shoe.  

Next up, Plantar Fasiitis Inserts

I do not suffer from PF (thank go…
