Pre-Long Run Dinner

I feel like I have been out of habit since October. Generally I eat according to what runs I have planned but I haven't done that for the last few months. I'm ready to get back in the habit. I planned for a long run today--16 miles. So, I needed some good carbs for dinner last night. What I came up with which may become a Friday night/pre long run routine was this: Homemade Pizza. For the crust I used Greek Pita bread. Just nice because everyone in my fam likes different stuff on their pizza. So pita, then a thin layer of spaghetti sauce, then sliced roma tomatoes, sprinkled with my favorite pizza and pasta spice mix, shredded mozarella, a few slices canadian bacon, then toped with diced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash. Even my non-veggie loving hubby thought it was delish! Total calories are probably under 350 (200 of them just from the pita--so easy to cut that back if you wanted but again I was looking for easy to digest carbs). And it worked. I had a bagel with peanut butter for my breakfast and I was not hungry on my run. Happy day! I should take pictures. This blog would be so much better with pictures.
