This morning I was complaining about the post-marathon pain, now I shall discuss the post-marathon hunger.
My stomach barely lasted until 9:00 am this morning before it started screaming ‘I’m Hungry, I’m Hungry”
I listened to my stomach’s screams and fed it ½ a blueberry scone that I had purchased from Whole Foods on Saturday.
Then, I was stuck in meetings the rest of the morning. I’m surprised my co-workers didn’t hear the loud growls coming from my stomach. I was very close to eating the paper on my table, but managed to abstain. As soon as the meeting let out, I sped home for lunch.
I quickly threw together a bowl of left over chili with some added cous cous, plain yogurt, and some onion for a little bulk.
On the side I had 1.5 pieces of cornbread.
The meal filled me up for the time, but less than two hours later I’m already considering breaking into my afternoon snack. After my last marathon I had to force myself to eat because the hunger never returned, but after this marathon its back with a vengeance! I guess it just goes to show every marathon is different. 🙂
Guess Whose Coming to NYC?!?!?
Me!
In an effort to raise awareness for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, whose mission is to fund research to find a method of early detection and ultimately a cure for Ovarian Cancer, Foodbuzz has partnered with Electrolux and have selected 15 of their featured publishers to join Kelly Ripa for a special cake decorating eventin New York City. I feel honored to have been selected as one of those 15!
This event takes place around my birthday (February 8th) which means I will be ringing in my 25th year under the big lights of NYC. It should be a great trip for a great cause and I can not wait to blog all about it!
I am so hangry today too!! I didn’t run a marathon, more like drinking marathon! Ugh, I am so proud of you for doing great at the marathon! Such an inspiration. Hope your lunch holds you over better than breakfast and snacks!
Congrats on getting chosen by Foodbuzz! That’s going to be a blast. I watch Kelly on Live with Regis and Kelly every morning so I’m super jealous you’ll meet her
AHHHHH! That’s amazing!! Do you get to meet Kelly?

Feed that hunger girl!!! 🙂 I love the fact that you can go home for lunch…super jealous 🙂
I actually never really got the post marathon hunger pains. It didn’t feel any different than my long runs during training. I made sure to get some good food though 😉
Dude, I’ll be in New York at that time too! I’ll be staying with Lindsay from happyherbivore.com, so maybe we can do some sort of bloggy meetup?!
Congrats! What a fabulous way to spend your birthday! 😀

Congrats on the NY thing! I was luckily enough to have today off, and ended up seeing an episode of “The Doctors”. I heard about this contest and automatically thought of your blog:
