What to eat before and after a 1/2 marathon...

We'd planned the traditional pasta dinner for the night before but ended up at a Thai place instead.

Fresh spring rolls

I had a beef and egg noodle soup and Ruth had a mild chicken curry.

Straight after the race there was a bit of a junk food fest. I had a slice of pizza the size of my head (sorry no photo...hadn't even made it back to the hotel at that point).  Then Ruth and I shared this 1/2 pound hot dog at a great outdoor bar on the Navy Pier. I enjoyed my first full sized beer in a while; a Chicago local: Goose Island 312.

Dinner was 3 soft chicken tacos from Chipotle PLUS a serving of corn chips and guacamole
