They seemed to give me plenty of energy near the end of the run, but were somewhat hard to chew when I was exhausted.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211559777528646914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486499436268115323.post-26657017321223134362009-11-28T13:57:37.410-05:002009-11-28T13:57:37.410-05:00Howdy, I just googled 'prepare for marathon wh...Howdy, I just googled 'prepare for marathon wheat free' and lucky for me this posting was the first on the list and the only one relevant as well. I'm about to run (or attempt) my first half marathon tomorrow and was having the conversation last night with friends about accommodating my wheat-free diet with regards to the carb-load dinner we were planning. I have a packet of both quinoa and rice pasta for tonight. And if I get ambitious, I might even steal your chicken-zuchinni recipe, pic looks good- but I'm no cook. Anyhow, wanted to say thanks for posting. I feel a little better knowing someone else out there has carb-loaded on rice pasta before their first 1/2 marathon, and it worked out just fine. Congrats on the run! If you have any suggestions for gluten-free energy bars, 'goo', whatever, for during the run, I'd like to hear your thoughts about that as well.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17742292948544631100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486499436268115323.post-60452110346884976202009-10-01T21:24:32.323-04:002009-10-01T21:24:32.323-04:00Alta - Watch out - the urge can strike at any mome...Alta - Watch out - the urge can strike at any moment! <br /><br />Melissa - Their costumes were good motivation - I figured that if they could run the race in pirate costumes, I could do it in proper attire :)<br /><br />I actually ate teff bread before the race, and I think it kept me going very well. I haven't heard about beets, but I'll give them a shot next time I need the endurance. I carried dates with me, and tried to force them down around mile 9, and I think they gave me a little bit of extra energy to finish.<br /><br />I'm glad you found my blog and left me a comment. I'm really enjoying exploring your blog!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211559777528646914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486499436268115323.post-76159767293468301322009-10-01T07:52:46.661-04:002009-10-01T07:52:46.661-04:00Congratulations on your run.

That probably made the run more interesting for you, anyway. <br /><br />:-)<br /><br />Your pasta dish looks great. Do you ever eat teff for race food? That's a great nutrition source! And beets for endurance. <br /><br />Love your blog.

Who knows, that desire to "run" towards a goal like that again might rear its ugly head! Meanwhile, what a healthy, yummy pasta. Sounds like something I'd be happy with if my tummy was uneasy too!Tasty Eats At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073984731642037393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486499436268115323.post-75088117880547033442009-09-29T22:01:53.380-04:002009-09-29T22:01:53.380-04:00Thanks, guys!

I think I would rather spend more time in the kitchen :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211559777528646914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486499436268115323.post-86314667284338379272009-09-29T08:55:33.304-04:002009-09-29T08:55:33.304-04:00Congrats on the run!
