My oh my! You kids certainly know how to make a girl blush. Thanks so much for all the flattering and totally unsolicited slightly invited compliments about my race – kidding!! 😉
I really enjoyed writing about the emotional side of this race. Often times, it seems like the physical side of racing gets the spotlight, and I thought the mental aspect should take the forefront for a change. For me, this is actually the more difficult part of running long distances, and something I am still working on (as evidenced by yesterday’s struggles).
Anyways. After the race I was so exhausted I actually fell asleep on the bus ride back to Manhattan.
Creature of habit.
Coffee and carbs = frothy, breakfasty yummies. This is my second (and last) DKB sin dawg. I cried a bit on the inside knowing how little is left.
A bit later, Kyle got home and we set up shop on the couch watching football. There is NO way I’d rather spend my Sunday. The 49ers won, too! Any other football lovers out there? If yes, who’s your team? (Julie, you can ignore this question, since the answer is practically tattooed on your forehead blog). Or maybe you are a fan of college football? Current students or alums, who are you rooting for? Yesterday was a HUGE day in the PAC-10 and my Bruins pulled off a win, too, so no complaints on my end.
I think I’m on batch #293 of tofummus. Yeah, I said it.
Tofu, hummus, carrots, and spinach, all in a WW pita.
After lunch we walked to the park and did some (window) shopping on the way – but by 4, my energy was waning so we headed home.
I rocked a senior citizen dinner (at 5 pm) of Nate’s meatless meatballs (poor Nate – not exactly the best reputation…). After seeing my homies enjoying the meatless balls so thoroughly lately, I knew I HAD to partake (also it’s fun to say dirty words). Good nutritionals. No further comment your honor…
Step 1: Heat balls
Step 2: Mix with seasoned tomato chunks.
Step 3: Line pita with plain greek yogurt and stuff the bejeezus out of them with Italian lovin.
Step 4: Get your grub on :O
Too many meat/ball/mouth jokes flooding my brain! K? A little help here?
My food coma set in hard core, so I made like Perez and stalked celebs watched the Emmy’s.
With a bowl of melon for dessert (I could never elope). Sorry for my random mood. My lame-o humor may only suit me, but that’s cool.
Tofummus! I love it:) Eating a melon like that is great for dessert – the bowl’s even included!
haha yum i am loving that tofummus too… sadly just ate the last of my batch! must go to grocery store tomorrow to restock supplies..
your humor is funny, no worries
Your sin dawgs make me so jealous. I want. I NEED. Ditto to that tofummus.
Channeling Damien from Mean Girls: Say balls again. Balls.
Ah I am the worst mean girls fan ever. He definitely said, “Say crack again.” Not balls. Guess we know where my mind is…
UGHHHH COLLEGE FOOTBALL letsnottalkaboutit.
hahhaa…you should be proud of your boy sanchez at least…and no i WONT rub last weekend in your face (im a classy bruin like that)
ahahahhaha, im DYING of laughter right now.
hahahahahahahahahaha your canteloupe joke was hilarious. i REALLY hope it was a joke because i just had a hardcore outloud chuckle
um got ny sports? superb showing yesterday all around.
“My lame-o humor may only suit me, but that’s cool.”
Ummm hey, that’s how I feel about my humor in my posts. I love you humor girl, keep it up!
THat DKB thing…you’re really lucky you are tolerant to gluten. Because I am not boo-hoo and so there has been no bread in my life for 3+ years. Or soy or dairy. But when I see bread like that it just makes me wanna….feel happy for who ever got to munch it all down 🙂 That’s you in this case. Yum!!!
You always make me laugh aloud. 🙂
Wow! Tofummus looks delicious!
Adding tofummus to my to-do list…
Aw Elise, just caught up on your last post….i’m so sorry that you had to deal with so much stress right before the race! It’s totally natural, but i’m glad you stuck with it and ended up having a fab time, and doing a damnnnnn good job! 🙂
And umm, let me also just say that your TOFUMMUS needs to be in my belly, asap. I really need to try it, like…NEED! And, I really want to try that italian pita sandwich-thang out, it looks delishhhh!!
hahaha i love your melon comment!
that tofu hummus is amazing! i have made two batches already. 😀
YUM! You have such great food. That hummus wrap looks delicious, so fresh and tasty!
So, Nate’s balls are good? I’ve only personally been able to taste TJs balls. It’s good to know there’s a worthy replacement incase I’m out and TJ is just too far away to feed my desire.
You know I’ve got your back on the TWSS inappropriateness. I was apparently born with this ability – some people are born to become the President, I’m born to throw out ball jokes. It’s my claim to fame in life.
😉
ahh meatless meatballs are pretty much AMAZING 😀
totally loving the carby breakfast too 🙂 coffee completes every breakkie.
Mmmm…you HAVE to add nutritional yeast to your next batch of hummus! Seriously–add a tablespoon or two…you will die and go to heaven for a second when it hits your taste buds 🙂
Your humor works for me…does that mean I am lame too?! Well, we already know the answer to that, so never mind…!
Courtney
Yay tofummus 😀
12 dayz… 😀
balls in pockets look amazing.
PITTSBURGH STEELERS baby! have been since fetus days, and will be til i die. wootwoot to 6 rings 🙂
I need those meatballs! They look so good. I am a fan of the Eagles still even though I live in NY now!
Haha, you’re hilarious. Love the tofummus. I need to get those balls in my mouth ASAP.
I’m a college fb fan, Go Oklahoma Sooners 😉
When I watch NFL I tend to root for the Vikings or the Redskins. But I’ve never been able to get that into it since I lived in a state my whole life that doesn’t have a pro team.
Glad your teams did well!
OH YAY for all the balls action in this post! TWSS #1
WOOPWOOP I do love football but I never really watch it because I forget about it and want someone to watch it with me. Soooo I think this would be grand if I went next door to the cute neighbors and watched it with them 😀
YAY 49NERS
YAY BRUINS
YAY BALLS
The meatless balls sound so good!! Meaty bally goodness! There, I said it!!
i think you can never say meat or balls too many times, right?
I LOVE college football. I love fall, mainly because I get to sit on my butt from noon til midnight on Saturdays 🙂 Is that bad?
YES! I share in the Bruin glory and cheered even louder for that SC loss against U Dub! Woot woot!
can you say YUMMY?! omg your wrap w/ hummus looks delish as well as your meatball wrap!!
jenna
Oh. my. gawd. I am so sorry I’m such an ass and just caught up on your incredible race! I can understand not wanting to run a)that early and b)that long, so you already have a fan here. But that mile time???!!!!! YOU BOSSY.
And thank you for the ball shoutout. It means the world to me.
And I LOVE your random mood. Ok, we just know I love you. Can’t help it.
First of all, a huge thank you for your super sweet comment on my blog! I’ve been blog stalking you for a while and let’s just say I’m a bit obsessed! You single handedly convinced me to cook chickpeas from scratch and I couldn’t be happier about that decision… Yum!
Next order of biz, congrats on your half! You are a running machine and I’m jealous to say the least!
You are totally right, RR was super nice, just as she is on tv! I definitely an RR convert as well.
I’m ashamed to say I fell off the Curb Your Enthusiasm wagon. I used to watch is on the regular, but didn’t have hbo at school. I will def have to add it to my dvr list! (As if I don’t already watch enough tv. Curse you Bravo for being amazing!)
That pita looks amazing!!! and I totally need to try those meatless meatballs!!
HAPPY WEDNESDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
I meant to comment on your last post but Postgraduate shenanigans at University meant that I had no time for sleep, let alone commenting…
Better late than never perhaps? Anyway, your half marathon time simply astounded me. I ran the distance this morning in 1:53:00 and for you to finish in the time you did, with a 3am wake up call and all of the hardships you had to endure pre-race, was nothing short of astounding. I admire you more than words can express. You are an amazing athlete and an amazing person.
My biggest battle with running is always psychological too…so many negative thoughts can cram themselves into a two hour time-span. If you ever find the secret to banishing them then I’d love to hear it!
<3
Congrats on your race! Amazing.
VERY MUCH covet the sin dawg.
Haha, cant…elope…I GET IT!
i think that’s the best part about it!
i cant even imagine…for a while i thought i might be allergic to gluten…i would seriously cry (much like when i realized i couldnt tolerate most dairy products). ill keep chowing down on the gluten-y goodness for the both of us 😀
we’re in that boat together. lame and fabulous!
woohooooooooo
balls in pockets! you rock.
oh and santonio holmes is on my fantasy football team
i love the eagles, im SO happy they are getting my homeboy garcia (he was an OG 49er)
ive only ever made my own version from “scratch” before, so i was nervous, but me likey 🙂
yeah yeah yeah, glad you like.
loves it. gracias.
try it now! you can thank me later 🙂
well if you want to adopt my 49ers, they will take all extra fans they can get…
every other sunday is party time in my apt (i work the rest of them) but if you show up on my apt doorstep on those select sundays, i can guarantee you a football feast with lots o hummus and other hippie faves.
i think thats 100% acceptable fall saturday behavior
i was in a pita wrappy mood and it hit the spot.
a big CONGRATS to you too…and thanks so much for the very nice comments. your sweet words mean more than you know. i wish i knew how to stop over-analyzing things!! if i find the magic solution, ill pass it your way 🙂
har har.
