Alison - 4

Time: 36 mins; Distance: 4 miles; Locale: treadmill

I feel a little intimidated by the larger numbers you boys are pumping out routinely, but that's okay. I don't have any other girls to compare to so the disparity between us seems massive.

Anyone tried my electrolyte cocktail yet?

    I don't know why you're intimidated, I for one haven't been running very far! lol. What electrolyte cocktail are you referring to?

    I always have to remind people not to compare themselves to me. I am superhuman.

    I tried that electrolyte drink last week...it tasted like Gatorade without the flavor. I might add more honey next time, but as it was it didn't taste like vinegar, so thumbs up.

    My favorite post-run snack is a PBR and a PBJ. Or maybe 2 of each.

    (That's a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich, for those who didn't know.)

    I didn't know, so thanks Luke! And yes, I was also pleasantly surpised that it didn't taste like vinegar. And that maybe I can develop a taste for this American style "iced" tea yet.

    And Alison you are running loads! I don't want you to collapse please.

    Luke you're nuts. The last thing I want to do after running or playing basketball is have a beer!

    Cold water is kinda hard on my stomach thus my new cocktails or putting some lime or lemon into iced white tea helps a lot. I often get a salad with a bunch of spicy tofu from Pei Wei after because it's so light and proteiny. Or eat a bunch of baby carrots with hummus and some tomatoes with a little vinaigrette on top.

    Hummus ALL the time!

    I sometimes fancy beer some time after running, if not straight after. After my excellent run yesterday, I felt I had earned the right to get smashed, so I did. Damn.

    Now that I have a Magic Bullet blender, I've been making my own lemon pepper hummus. It's easier to digest because I can soak the chickpeas before processing them in the blender. If you soak your legumes (for 4 hours to overnight) and then toss that water, it will really reduce bean bloat. Yay!
