10 Miles here I come

Trying something new

On June 19, 2012 By JordanIn About, Running2 Comments

This time last year I was training for my first half marathon. I had never run more than 3 miles at a time and the idea of being able to run over 10 consecutive miles was just ludicrous. But before I knew it I was addicted to hitting the pavement, sipping down Nuun and gobbling …

During and After

On June 10, 2012 By JordanIn Running2 Comments

Yesterday's post was all about what I do before I go for a long run. Well here is how all of that preparation paid off and then how I recovered. Because there was minimal wind yesterday morning I decided to take advantage of the running playground I live in and run across the Golden Gate …

Pre-Run

On June 9, 2012 By JordanIn Running2 Comments

I am about to go for a long run this Saturday morning and there are a few ways I prepare for a 7plus mile run: Friday night I make sure I eat a nice dinner - I was lucky enough last night to head to Japan town and enjoy some fish with one of my …

WIAW – blast from the past

On May 30, 2012 By JordanIn About, Running6 Comments

Based on the blog title and catch phrase it is clear that I love almond milk. While this obsession is based on taste, it is not purely voluntary, as dairy does not agree with my intestines. Even avoiding said foe does not always keep my stomach at bay and yesterday I felt the wrath of …

It’s beginning to look a lot like springtime

On May 28, 2012 By JordanIn Running, San FranciscoLeave a comment

Yesterday I did something I have been wanting to do for a long time...eat peanut butter GU on a long run! I heard about peanut butter GU earlier in the year and unfortunately my injuries left me unable to run a block, let alone the hour plus when a GU is recommended. Yesterday, at the …

The first half of the day consisted of lots of egg whites. Breakfast was a microwaved protein bowl and lunch was veggies and lettuce with Trader Joe's Egg White Salad on top (Notice the Costco box of almond milk under the table) I love that it's so light out in the evenings so I can …

Running through my mind

On May 21, 2012May 21, 2012 By JordanIn Food, Running2 Comments

Even though I woke up pretty sore Sunday morning, I was determined to run my seven mile goal for the day. So, while catching up on blogs that I have missed over the busy week at work, I ate one of my favorite meals of all time, banana and nut butter (this time it was …

nickles and dimes – also known as CHANGE

On May 7, 2012May 7, 2012 By JordanIn About, Running3 Comments

Sunday's are reserved for moving slower, taking care of errands and lounging in the evening. I did take care of errands, like going to the market, and I did lounge in the evening, but the moving slowly part did not happen. I woke up and ran 5 miles in the beautiful spring sun - but …
