Random Photo Entry 29: Mostly Carbs

I realize that I am a bit behind in my normal posting schedule, though I'm sure most of us are inundated enough not to notice.

Things have been kind of haphazard lately... changes at work (will elaborate later), personal introspection (more on this later, perhaps), trying to stay on the running train post-marathon, and my eating... goodness.  I haven't quite been so peppy lately (unrelated to the eating, I think), which is not helping my "equilibrium goal," either.

So I thought I'd just share some of the things I've eaten as of late -- and these are probably the more innoculous items, mainly because they were cooked (mostly by "The Ukrainian")/eaten at home.

One of the "healthier" dishes... potato pancake/latke with tuna and salad (goat cheese+olives+grape tomatoes).


This was Domino's night.  Finished a pizza between the two of us, and no running took place the next day, hah!
 First egg poaching... just put it in rapid-boiling water.  No tutorials consulted... out of laziness?


"Benedict" on lavash with black lava salt, avocado, grape tomato, and olives.  All of these olives are coming from a Costco-sized container, so I'm glad I stopped hating them.

Is the egg too runny???

To go with this breakfast (yes, I eat huge breakfasts), I vegan-ized the cherry cobbler I made in THIS post by using Earth Balance instead of butter, and I didn't notice the difference.  This piece is topped with the caramel goat cheese mentioned in THIS post, though I left mine without because the cheese tasted too "game"-y for my liking.  Does anyone else hate the "game"-y taste of things, too?  Even when I ate meat, I steered far away from veal and anything else that had that taste.

Finally, these are not carbs (although carb backward = barc... close enough???), but this is a photo of my dog at the dog park with another little guy that looks a little like my sister's dog.

(Note: I ended up putting everyone's retweets starting after the comments when it came to numbering the entries.) Original Post: 3/10/11 Sunday, March 20 2011, the day I will run LA Marathon for the 4th time (and embark on my 8th 26.2 journey overall), will also be very special because it will mark the 5th year since I did my FIRST training run with the intention of running a marathon.  (Check out that life-changing post HERE ). Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory). I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I was a sprint/track

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat

Rebecca Michaels Performance Clothing (Giveaway)

UPDATE: 6/21/12 -- This giveaway is closed, and the winner is #43, Jacqueline!!  I will contact you, but if you miss it, please e-mail me! ------ I'd like to credit in advance "The Ukrainian" who helped me stage some photos for this post. =) Perhaps because I don't dress well when working out, I was offered the opportunity to try some fun pieces from the Rebecca Michaels summer collection. Since I complained about my issues with headbands staying on my head, I also got to try their Violet Love headbands.  "The Ukrainian" didn't hesitate in throwing one on, and I think he said he looks like Rambo in it. Anyway, I'll start with my experience with the headbands .  They are very soft and actually look SUPER cute on!  They also cover a large portion of the top of your head, so those little fly-aways don't come drooping down.  Or is that just me?  My hair is normally cut in layers, so I do experience this quite a bit. Unfortun
