Somewhat Silent Saturday

The kiddos wanted to join in on the long run fun by running down the street with us at the end.  14.2 very flat miles @ 8:12 average pace.

My nephew cried saying goodbye to us. Broke my heart.

I was a tad bit hungry after the run.

6 hours of road tripping and lots of Skittles.

Cheap gas makes the road trip even more fun.

We just so happen to be in Southern California and so we decided this is just going to have to happen today….

Disney?!? What a fun fun way to spend the day. I’m sure she’s going to be in heaven!
After my long runs I love something simple and full of carbs. It’s almost as if my body craves them. Your rice bowl looks delicious!

Yay for Brooke being back! Love the picture of all the kids running with you. My favorite thing to eat after a long run is either fried plantains or potatoes with either lots of sausage or bacon and eggs! Followed by some good coffee, and hopefully a relaxing day. It depends on my stomach but I’m often the hungriest the day after a long run.

The day after a long run I can’t eat enough! Usually after a long run I have a banana with peanut butter and some chocolate milk. Occasionally I’ll have ramen noodles because I’m craving the salt.

I would have started crying if my nephew cried when I leave! How sweet is that!

I’m hungry all the time – but I feel that it is the day of the long run when I want to eat everything. Any food is good food!

Nothing big happening this weekend…it is my last couple of days of vacation so lots of laundry and cleaning!

Have fun at Disneyland!!!

Gas prices are crazy good right now! I saw 1.88 in Ohio last week.

I love to make a super thick smoothie with banana, whey protein powder, almond milk and frozen raspberries after a long run.

I bet it was so nice to be back with Brooke!!
For the first time in forever, we don’t have any set plans this weekend! Going to the gym and then taking the kids to Build A Bear later!

I just finished a run and we’re going to viSit family in Kentucky.
Fave post run food: oatmeal
And, I’m always hungry!

Hosting a dinner party tonight, but I’d rather be at Disney! Have a blast!

Your hair just looks SO pretty-I love it!!

Disney sounds like a great thing to do today! Have a blast and say hi to Micky for me!

After a long run I like to sit bc OMG I am tired!!!

Reply

Yay for getting Brooke back! She’s such a doll! Have an amazing time at Disney. I’m jealous. I want to go! I’m stuck home still rocking my air cast. Only two more weeks. Heading to the gym today for spin class! I can’t wait to hit the pavement again though. I’m missing all the good weather.

Reply

Oh that smile!!!! We did 14 miles yesterday and I was sooo hungry all day. I think marathon training in the winter makes me twice as hungry as summer training. I might be rolling across the finish line in Boston!!!! Say “hi” to Micky!!!!!!

Reply

Yay for Disney! Make sure to get a chocolate-covered Minnie Mouse apple – the ears are chocolate covered marshmallows! It was the first thing I had when walking into MagicKingdom last week, totally my favorite…I am super hungry the day of a long run/race and sometimes really hungry 2 or three days after, instead of the day after. Have the best time today with brooke!

I’m always hungry after running, but it is usually the day after the long run that my hunger goes insane! This weekend I don’t have too much planned. I’m getting my hair cut and colored today (and may be making a change to my hair if I don’t chicken out!) and then my husband and I will probably just relax since he starts his new job on Monday and I start school on Wednesday. P.S. I’m super jealous that you’re Disney-ing today :)

I’m going bowling tonight with my boyfriend. It’s been years since I bowled! =)
I’m always hungrier the day after a long run and I crave salty. Like a reuben and fries! MMMMMM….

Enjoy Disney and Brookers!

So sweet that your nephew cried! This weekend… Get after a nice hard medium long run 15-miler. And I’m definitely hungrier the day after a long run. Great weekend to you all!! -Susie

I live in So Cal and we are trying to pick a museum to go to today, but all the ones in LA seem busy because the tours are booked up. We might go up to Lake Arrowhead for a little fun in the mountains. Our baby is under a year so no Disney yet for us. Soon enough will be spending lots of time there I’m sure.

Disney sounds like so much fun!! This weekend we are soaking up the last two days of our time off work!

Reply

I’m so much hungrier the day after a long run! And have so much fun at Disney!!

Have tons of fun in Disneyland. The weather looks absolutely beautiful. Oh, to remember what it is like to wear shorts sleeves outside.

The theme for this weekend is RELAXATION. After all of the holiday craziness and late nights, I’m really looking forward to some down time.

My favorite thing after a long run is an omelet with avocado. I am typically not that hungry right after running, but watch out the day after!

Reply

Awe. What a lucky little girl. Disney again.! :)

And I am definitely hungry after a long run, I swear I’ll eat everything that afternoon. Usually I want a coffee after I run, after that I don’t really care.

No weekend plans, just doing the mom thing also :)

Reply

We’re going to see Into The Woods this weekend:-) Otherwise it’s back to routines, gym, food prep, church… all the good weekend stuff.

Reply

So happy you have Brooke with you. I am actually on my way to go snowboarding. Looking forward to it since it has been close to three years since the last time I went. Not looking forward to how sore I’ll be.

Reply

I’m so glad mama and daughter duo are back together again! Have a fantastic day at Disney!

Long run tomorrow, 15mi. I always love a hot cup of coffee after a cold winter run. In fact the thought of that always gets me through a run!

Reply

Welcome back Brookie! I’m so jealous you got to go to disney!

My long run is Tom and honestly I’m starving today! I usually have a hard time eating after my runs… And the next day is pretty normal! I guess my body craves the carbs and energy!

Reply

I’m always hungry! That’s wonderful you and your little companion are reunited. Have fun at Disney! It sure is Magical. I used to work at the Disney corporate office when I lived in Orlando. :)

Reply

Ah so jealous! I haven’t been to Disneyland in almost four years! Have fun!

Always the day after. The day of my long run, I barely eat afterwards. My stomach never seems to want anything. But the day after I need all the food.

Reply

Hi Brookie! Her little toy is cute.
So if you are at Disneyland today then i guess u go home tomorrow? I hope u have so much fun!
We love firehouse subs. We finally got one in my city in Ca about 6mos ago. My kids want to go all the time.
I am always hungry the day off the long run and the day after too. I’m pretty much hungry all the time!
We have a baptism today. And my hubby is in the hospital for the rest of the weekend, so I will be in and out of there for the next few days.

Spontaneous visits to Disney can’t be bad :) Cute picture!

I’m hungry the day of, day after, 2 days later, etc. It doesn’t really make a difference for me, I’m just always hungry lol.

Have fun in disneyland!

This weekend I just finished up a 50 day running streak! Sunday will be for relaxing and race researching for the year. :)

I really like eating fake crab after a long run, which is weird.

I am always starving the day after a long run – I just eat all day long, it’s ridiculous.

Reply

How nice to know that you are whole again!!! Our weekend is going to be one of relaxation and short runs!! I am always hungrier the day after a long run. I have a really hard time eating after I run and have to force something in to refuel!
Hope you guys are having a blast at Disney!

This weekend the boyfriend and I are heading up to a resort in Northern NH. Very excited!

After a long run I love Mexican food. A big plate of carnitas, rice, beans, and guac hits the spot.

Depending on the day, I’m either ravenous or cannot eat a bite after a long run.

Reply

My favorite post-long run food is bacon, eggs, and whole wheat toast! The salt always tastes so good. Usually I almost have to force myself to eat the day of a long run but the day after I have an appetite.

Have fun in Disneyland!

Reply

I am always hungry, buy mostly on rest days! I think it all catches up to me then.

I ran 14 miles by myself today in the cold rain! Not my most fun run ever but I am glad to have it done. I listened to Serial, too! What do you think so far? How far are you?

Relaxing the rest of the day! Last weekend before I have to GI back to work:(

Friday night was spent with the boyfriend. We made dinner and then watched the Canada Denmark hockey game.

I don’t have much else planned this weekend cause we’re getting a bunch of snow. I do have a workout scheduled for Sunday morning though.

Reply

I’m honestly hungry in the days after a long run – not immediately after though, usually eating is the last thing I want to do.

Reply

It’s nice to have kids to run with the last few miles since they are the hardest! Grr!!

Reply

Disneyland! So jealous. Have fun!

Weekend plans: in-laws are in town tonight so spending time with them!

My favorite thing to eat after a long run is oatmeal or an egg sandwich.

I’m usually hungrier the day after a long run!

I love Firehouse Subs! Have a great day at Disney!

Reply

YAY so glad she’s back! I think I get hungrier the day after running. That firehouse sub looks SO GOOD!

Reply

DISNEYLAND!!!!! Ahhh so fun! I can’t wait to take my little one :)

Yayyy for having Brooke back AND for Disneyland!!!! Nice long run for the day! I am usually hungry the day of the long run, right after I get back. My body wants to make up for the calories I just burnt for the rest of the day :s

We’re in the middle of a winter storm watch here, so my toddler and I are hanging tight in the house while dad is out snowblowing everywhere! I was so glad I ran outside yesterday before the storm hit. Today I ran 3 miles on the treadmill. Figured I would pass on running through a ton of unplowed snow with 20 mph winds and below zero temps :) Treadmills rock sometimes!

Reply

We’re going for a hike this weekend along the coast. Can’t wait!

I’m more of a “hungry the day after the long run” kind of a gal. Don’t have a big appetite the day of, but the day after — don’t get between me and my food because it might get ugly.

So glad you’re reunited with Brook AND got to visit Disneyland again! I’ll bet it’s a gorgeous day there.

Reply

What a fun day! Disney and a nice flat long run, I’m jealous!!

Reply

Welcome back Brooke, I hope you’re both enjoying Disney!

Reply

Since I’ve never done a long run, I can’t answer that question! Haha! But I hope to change that over the next couple of months or so. :)

Nothing big around Memphis this weekend. It’s been rainy all week, and we’re just sticking around the house in our pajamas, enjoying the last couple of days before everyone goes back to school on Monday.

Southern California weather sounds so much better than what we have here — cold and wet. Bleh!

have fun in DISNEYLAND!

You are so amazing running that fast! I did 2 miles this morning. So glad brooke is back with you! :)

Reply

I suspect by the time this child is grown you’ll be able to watch her grow through the years in Disney photos :) Right next to Minnie and Mickey. So cute.

Reply

You look so much like your sister in the last pic!! After a long run I love pancakes and a big smoothie. Nothing better! I did 10 miles today for the first time in quite a while! I’m not usually hungry the day of a long run. In fact, my stomach even gets a little upset! By tomorrow I’ll eat everything in sight :)

Reply

Day after for sure. The day after and I always want to go out for breakfast. I am usually not that much of a breakfast person, but the day after a long run bring on the breakfast buffet.

Reply

I love that in the pic of you with your niece and nephew, your cutie niece has her shoes on the wrong feet;) So sweet and such innocence.

Yay for Brookers being back with Mama! And Disney? What a lucky girl!

I love pancakes after a long run (well, any run, really). I just love breakfast foods.

Reply

I too noticed your niece’s shoes on the wrong feet. Must be so tough letting go of your Brooke even for a few days. What a cute expression she has posing with Minnie.

Reply

So jealous you can just do a spur of the moment Disney trip – enjoy! I tend to eat more on the days I don’t run than when I do (all to do with discipline – or lack of).

Reply

What an awesome day! Looks like your kids will be following in your footsteps!

Reply

Janae,
I’ve followed your blog for a couple of years now and I’ve finally decided to sign up for my first 1/2 marathon! I’ve never been a runner and just had my 2nd baby 4 weeks ago. The race is in May. Any words or wisdom/advice for me???!!

Reply

I usually end up hungrier the day after a long run. Sometimes I find it hard to eat right after but I usually crave a burger with fries at some point later in the day!
I’m so glad for you that Brooke is back:)

Reply

Aww how fun!! It looks like you were able to get in some really beautiful runs on your trip. So glad to see you back with your daughter!

I’m trying to convince my husband that we need to go to Disney in March for our family’s combined birthday present (we’re all March babies…).

Harlow got that Lady & The Tramp Little People set for Christmas! Isn’t it cute?

Another awesome post! Love that you got to meet Minnie. Lucky Duck!
Our weekend is now over as well as our Christmas break…back to school and the regular routine. Friday I went to the gym and worked on legs, Saturday was my long run. 4 miles down. Just started training for my first Half Marathon. Sunday was a 3 mile run and church.
I love to make a protein/fruit smoothie after a long run! I’m trying to lose 60lbs, so I try not to eat too much, even though I’m always starving! So that brings me into the next question…I am ALWAYS starving it seems like!

Reply

Im always hungrier the day after a long run. I almost lose my appetite entirely after running and have to make myself eat something. The next day though I am all about some food. It’s weird.

Glad you have Brooke back and you had such a good time!
