[Susie]

1. Patriot Half (IM), 6/14/14. I'll be hump-day-half-ing this race for a while.

2. Night before: MM would totally shun me for this, but I like to eat at Olive Garden the night before a big race. It's predictable, it's easy to find, and I know what to order (capellini pomodoro with grilled chicken) that will sit well in my stomach. No surprises. Morning of depends on what distance; before a HIM I like honey, greek yogurt, and a bagel.

3. Lots of Lady Gaga.

[shellfish26]

1. The deets: race name and date B&A Half on 3/30.  Yes, this is my LAST HDH check in...for now. 

2. Let's talk about food: what's your favorite meal...
a) the night before your race or long-run I don't have anything in particular.  I just avoid anything heavy or greasy.  And I drink lots of water.
b) morning of, Wheat bagel thin with peanut butter and honey.  And a few Oreos.
and
c) after? a glass of water with Nuun, followed by a chocolate milk.  And for some weird reason, I am ALWAYS craving bacon after a long run.  This Sunday, I will also eat lots of cupcakes.

3. What's on your playlist this week? Britney "Work, Bitch" is sorta my theme song for the week.

1. The deets: race name and date Run the Bluegrass - this Saturday!

2. Let's talk about food: what's your favorite meal...a) the night before your race or long-run  - Usually pizza
b) morning of - English muffin with peanut butter, and a cup of coffee and some water (sometimes 2 EM's, depending on how long before the race I eat)
c) after? - I love chocolate milk and a banana immediately after (or at least once my breathing has come back to normal). As far as the rest of the day - whatever sounds good to me.

3. What's on your playlist this week? My usual running playlist that I keep on shuffle on my iPod. My list is all over the place - mostly songs that I love to hear over and over, but would probably be weird or geeky to others.

Derby Festival half -4/19

2. Let's talk about food: what's your favorite meal...a) the night before your race or long-run
b) morning of, and
c) after?

I don't really eat differently the night before, and I usually have a PB and honey sandwich before a long run. After a long run I typically grab pancakes with my running buddies, but if I'm at a race I eat whatever is available.

3. What's on your playlist this week?

A mix that doesn't make sense. Britney has made an appearance on my list as well.
