Girls Race Day plus a New Meal Plan
Erica and I ran a race together this morning. It was called Utah Runner Girls! So fun! There was a half marathon, 5k, and a 1 mile princess run. I ran the half and Erica (my 11 year old) ran the one mile princess run and came in first place! She was thrilled. I mean, really really thrilled.
Her pre-race meal was a green smoothie and cantaloupe. Mine, a banana and during the race almonds and dates. I’m telling you what, those green smoothies can give you loads of energy! I should have had one. I just don’t like running the blender at 5am, and I had to be there a few hours before Erica did.
