A huge group of my friends are racing the Franklin Classic 10k/5k on Labor Day. The course has changed, so we wanted to check it out this morning. It was a great opportunity to eat at Frothy Monkey. I wish every run ended with breakfast.
Oatmeal with strawberry and banana…
and a soy cafe au lait.
I stopped by my house to put on dry clothes and ran a few more miles before taking a GRIT class.
I’m a little embarrassed by this pic, but does anyone else’s bathroom look like this after running?
We like to stay at the Watercolor Inn a few times a year (it’s my happy place). These hooks are intended for beach towels and swimsuits, but they are perfection for runners. If we ever remodel our master bath, I want a wall of hooks.
After GRIT class I did my regular Post-Run Routine.
1. After every run, I drink some Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate. I first tried it after reading this article from The No Meat Athlete.
2. I also like to drink some Svelte Cappuccino Protein Shake. Post-workout protein helps speed recovery. It’s vegan, no mixing is required, and it tastes great!
3. After a long run, I drink Vega Recovery Accelerator. Apple Berry is my favorite flavor.
If I’m home, I’ll mix it into my Glowing Green Smoothie. If I’m away from the house, I pack it in my Cyclone Cup and mix it with water.
The bottom unscrews for dry storage of the Vega powder and the cyclone technology mixes better than any other shaker bottle.
I tried to rest a little this afternoon and ice my broken toe. I can tell that the swelling is getting better…yes!
I met my husband for a sushi dinner.
And ended the day with a cupcake from IveyCake.
Do you use any recovery products, shakes, etc…?
Is your bathroom covered in sweaty runner clothes?
