The Running Thread - 2018

Does this include cold pizza?

Yes ...

But I enjoy breakfast pizza!!!!!!!

 

[Capang]

Folks theres more....... I also dislike waffles.



LOVE BEIGNETS!!! Cafe Du Monde FTW!!! It's been forever since I've been in the quarter late enough.... I mean early enough to get some though. Apparently staying out on Bourbon St all hours of the night with children is frowned upon. Just kidding. My party days for the most part are behind me.



So theres a story about why I dont like them. You know how you go through your college years and at some point you take a few to many shots of something and have the worse hangover, vomit, ect ect moment. Then the next time you even see or smell such item all of those memories come up again and you swear it off for life.... Well my pancake story is kinda like that. One morning before school (like 4th grade) my dad made pancakes. I was full and had 3 pieces left. I told my dad I was full and could not eat them. He gave me that look that dads can give (maybe moms but my dad raised us) and said eat them! Soooo I did aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnddddd I threw them up on the last one. Since then, I could never bring myself to eat them again, as the smell of pancakes makes me want to vomit now. lol Other things that have a similar reaction, goldschlager and jaeger.

Goldschlager. That stuff was awful. I was lured in with the sparkly golden flecks and then it all went downhill fast.

Same!

LSU Lakes that makes sense. A night in Vegas with lots of free Long Island Iced Teas involved my last ever Long Island Iced Tea!

Fruity Pebbles all the way! When they get a little soggy... yummy!

I won't judge anyone harshly for not liking pancakes, although I will think you are weird. But if you do like pancakes and are eating them with fake syrup then I am definitely judging you!

And as good Grade B Maple Syrup (not the swill they serve most places) needs every mode of conveyance it can get, pancakes are perfectly acceptable.

I have been known to carry maple syrup to a restaurant in my purse before if they charge too much for the real thing.

 

[JulieODC]

@SarahDisney - I do love fruity pebbles!! Hope that means we can still be friends!

 

[Dis_Yoda]

My favorite breakfast is Nutella & Banana Crepes. I'm perfectly fine with the fancy brunch version or the IHOP version.

I'm also going to be ignoring the boards a lot more for the next few weeks.

Fruity Pebbles but no pancakes ... I'll allow it.

@Dis_Yoda - Congrats on the new puppy!

 

[Bree]

Pancakes - they are okay as long as they are fluffy and plain. Must be eaten with real maple syrup. Not my first choice of sweet breakfast food.
Waffles - usually my first choice. Belgian w/ real maple syrup please
Cilantro - love it
Bananas - I eat one everyday
Cereal - anything chocolate
Goldschlager - the pretty gold flakes lured me too

OMG the puppy is soooooooooo cute!!!!

QOTD: With all the PR's over the weekend I wanted to ask, when you meet a goal or PR, do you treat yourself to something special?

ATTQOTD: It's been a long time since I PR'd, so I imagine the next time I do, a extra beer or snack will be in order!

After my Disney marathons I went to Boathouse (2016) and Boma this year. But I generally don't treat myself. In my mind I feel this I'm supposed to reach my goal. And some people say I'm hard on myself.

I try to, yes. After Comrades was a safari in South Africa, and after IMFL was a week in Vegas.

John and I have different budget ranges. If I treated myself it would be an ice cream. But then again his goals are loftier than mine too.

I have a confession..... I hate pancakes.

Unless they are loaded with blueberries I could take or leave them myself. They feel like a bowling ball in your stomach after you eat.

I’ll have to go with “nay”.

Neither have banned me for my intense dislike of beer, so I guess this is where I return the favor.

I don't like beer either. I think it's disgusting. When I see people enjoying a beer I question what's wrong with them. But everyone is different. Perhaps they also like vomiting, the dentist, and "The English Patient" as well. And I mean that lovingly to all of you on this board of course.

 

[cavepig]

@Dis_Yoda oh my gosh ADORABLE Puppy!

 

[KingLlama]

I have a confession..... I hate pancakes.

What.

In my defense - I hate almost all breakfast foods except breakfast tacos ...

The hell.

I think today's discussion has completely changed how I view the running thread. I used to see you people as kindred spirits. Now I'm not so sure anymore.

Likewise. As a young pup in the running game, I wandered into this thread months ago and immediately viewed @LSUlakes and @Keels as 2/4 of the Running Thread Mount Rushmore.

Now I feel like my mom just told me the truth about Santa AND the Easter Bunny all over again.

And I remember the day I actually found out the truth about all that stuff. I got so upset, I ran out of the house, got in my car, and just drove and drove for hours.

Puppy!!!!! So cute! I do not think I have sat down for more than 5 minutes while at home for the last three weeks, LOL. Maybe yours will be calmer!

 

[Jules76126]

I have a confession..... I hate pancakes.

I also hate pancakes. And real maple syrup. I know the tragedy. I already get enough grief from DH. I do love crepes and waffles with fake syrup of course. I will eat the real stuff if it's all that is available. My favorite cereal is the peanut butter puff kind. Anything chocolate for the win

 

[Chaitali]

@Dis_Yoda the puppy is so cute! What did you name him/her?

As for pancakes, I have to admit I pretty much love all breakfast foods. But waffles and french toast rank higher for me than pancakes.

And post-race restaurants, I did California Grill brunch after the Dark Side half last year and it was amazing! My poor husband claims I didn't tell him the price in advance and he almost had a heart attack, but I thought it was worth every penny. Especially the refills on the mimosas that the waiter was super generous with. I didn't make any reservations after the marathon since I didn't know how I would be feeling and that turned out to be a good idea. I was hungry but for some reason all I wanted was nachos! So we just went to the quick service in Epcot Mexico for nachos and margaritas, and it was perfect

Thats a nice looking dog! They are all cute and everything just like a baby, until it's time to go to sleep lol. Both are worth it though!

Wait... What....

I just left work.

QOTD: In the past we have talked about the Barkley Marathon and the little film about it on Netflix. Well this year no one finished all 5 loops. In fact no one finished 4 loops. Only the "fun run" was finished this year. To read more use this link from Runners World. So todays question I wanted to ask is have you ever got to the starting line of a race and thought theres a realistic chance that you will not finish despite being well prepared for the race? For those ultra runners in the group, maybe the idea of this is a little closer to home... With only 40 entrants per year, if you could get a spot in the race would you try it?

ATTQOTD: My first goal of any race is always to finish, regardless of distance. So far I have meet that goal. I can say that I never toed the line and thought that I would not finish the race. I may not do as well as I had hoped, but never thought I would not finish. As far as running Barkley, I have ZERO desire to try that one out, I would rather try to climb Mt Everest with no mountain climbing experience.

FRENCH TOAST - topped with bananas and walnuts and, of course, real maple syrup.

I haven’t watched the film yet but have heard a lot about this race. In a race like that I think I would be okay with not finishing as long as I gave my best effort. Now for something like a 5K through a marathon I would be upset with myself if I didn’t finish.
