Morning Miles, Family Feasts

Most of us distance runner are as sensitive and picky about our food as three-year-olds are. For this reason there is always seven different breakfast, seven different lunches, and seven different dinners in our house. However on the rare occasion we all make it to the table to share a meal together.

This morning was one of those few breakfasts. Wonderful roommate Paige had blueberry pancakes, bacon, and sweet potato fries steaming and ready for us famished long runners as we came dragging our feet through the door.  It couldn't have been a better day to come home and find food already on the table. After our longest run of the week at Magnolia Road (made famous in Chris Lear's, Running with the Buffalos) at an elevation of 8,000, with an extra mile tacked on to everyone's "normal" Sunday long run amount (normally I only run 13 miles, today I ran 14) devouring Paige's feast was no problem!!
