Those times are ideal for me. Lets pencil it in.

Dang, we must have been running pretty close to each other.

Damn, no shite. Nice!

How many hours of sleep y’all boys getting a night? Some nights I’m struggling to get 5-6. Mostly due to work as when I’m on days my alarm is set for 2:10. Not good for the body at all; some days my runs are probably counter productive for overall fitness/mechanics due to lack of sleep.

Awesome. Now we just need to talk Burt into bringing his mustache over to LR too

I mentioned a couple weeks back that my wife got me the Shalane Flanagan cookbook "Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow." Figured I would throw a couple of my favorite recipes (abbreviated) so far on here for those of you that try to follow a runner's diet. Worth mentioning that I have two children, neither of which are too picky, who enjoyed all of the meals below. I can post more if you guys would like me to. Hope you guys like.

You use Greek Yogurt? Looks like it checks all my boxes: cheap, good, easy to meal prep and bring to work for lunch.

Recipe calls for 0% Greek yogurt. I thought it was strange at first, but ended up tasting better than mixed with mayo. We love this recipe the most, since we can also throw the pork on sliced bread and the kids will eat it up.

Roots is big time now. Out of my league. Hope he doesnt notice I've out punted my coverage.

What are y’all a thoughts on gels and chews?

I’ve had mixed results. Only done GU so far and I’ve had a couple of times where it made me feel like I could run through a wall at mile 9 and other times had no effect.

Academy had a sale on Clif gels and chews and I dropped about $20 to see if it made a difference but was curious on y’all opinions.
