Eat to run, or run to eat?
I love and aspire to do both!
I eat well to run well. And I try to run well, so that I can truly and guilt-freely relish the meal after my run!
In fact sometimes, I plan my run route so that I could go try some new food, or to chow on something I have been craving after!
There was a period of time that I really wanted to try Roti Tissue or Paper Prata, that I went for several weeks after my long run just to try different versions and variety of it. Roti Tissue - famous for its thin crispy crust that is very famous in Malaysia but I'd never eat before.
So I decided I must try it in Singapore as I had missed it in my visits in Malaysia
Roti Tissue or Paper prata... with a nice glass of Lassi, and Papadum! π
After satisfying my craving, I actually returned to the same eatery after another long run day to try other dishes on the menu like:
Thosai
Appam
And even tried the Paper Prata (or Roti Tissue) from another eatery!
Other foods that I had aimed as my post run fuel included vegetarian ban mian and Michelin Starred Popiah (not pictured).
More deli of red bean and ginkgo nuts soy bean curd.
Other random foods I had gotten included:
The food that I never was able to eat after my runs would be the Mac's Breakfast!
By the time I completed running, cool down and silent sitting, breakfast menu would be over!
No matter how I chided myself for my lateness and disciplined myself to head out earlier, I never did make it - yet...
I am really grateful for the running, so that eating later on doesn't have to be (that) guilty...
I am also grateful for all the yummies that get me running and motivated!
To me this cycle of running and eating is intertwined and interdependent. I guess the lesson is to really be appreciative of the abundance of food, the means to have it, and to be mindful of wholesome eating.
I look forward to my next meal pre, or post run ... π
