Healthy Meal Plan with honey on the side

Well, yesterday was the big race.  26.2 miles and many hours later, I crossed the finish line in 82nd place (7th in Female’s 35-39yrs!!).  It doesn’t really matter that only 91 people entered, does it?  My friend Eleice, and I live by the principle that we’re better athletes if we can run for 5 hours. Runners that finish marathons in like 2.5 hours must not have the endurance that we can sustain!

I did take some honey on the run.  I hate the taste of the GU distance athletes use. Hate it Then this local company from Provo sent me some of their honey and the package said : Strength, Recovery, Endurance! And it was all in a transportable package. Perfect timing I thought.  So, I brought in on a 24 mile practice run. Loved it! Great energy.. then I used it at the race yesterday, and I survived!  Obviously the honey didn’t make me lightening fast, but it tasted way better than the GU!! 

The website says ,  “Honey gives athletes a slower, more sustained release of energy than the energy gels.”  There are so many awesome benefits of honey.  Check out the Honey Company for more benefits!

So, onto a new Healthy Meal Plan for this week!!
