For every other day of the year 'carbs' are avoided in fear that they lead to those unwanted pounds. But before a marathon carbs are your best friend and the energy needed to reach the finish line. A good friend says that he has fish before each of his marathons because he wanted to be quick and agile like the beasts of the sea. The buffet sponsered by the Philadelphia Marathon supplied runners with pasta, meats, salads, veggies, and desserts - all good food before a run - but good enough? What should you last meal be before running 26.2 miles of asphalt, with over over 18,000 runners, in 24 degree temperatures? What if you were running for your life and you just might not make it in time... better make sure that last meal is good one right?
The LastMealFoodie has some home made pasta in a red red sauce/gravy with a salad and home made bread - where did that get me the next day???
In a couple of days go to http://www.philadelphiamarathon.com/ and type in bib# 9218. Maybe it was the home made pasta that helped me save 15 minutes off my previous marathon time!
