Who doesn’t love chocolate? Lee’s favorite is dark chocolate with a touch of sea salt and my favorite is white chocolate with hazelnut. We are all in luck because there is a race coming to Dallas-Fort Worth that dangles chocolate in front of us as we run instead of a carrot.
The Hot Chocolate 15/5k is coming to Dallas on February 11th, 2012. Next year they are trying to break the world record for the most runners in a 15k. I think they have come to the right state to get their numbers… everything is bigger in Texas!
We will be there and should have a special code for our readers in the works! Until then, check out the video below for more information on the race.
There are a so many things to think about when preparing for a big race, especially the night before. You have to make sure you lay everything out and not to eat something that will upset your stomach. What a lot of people don’t think about is their recovery 30 minutes post race. We are willing to say that most depend on what’s available at the race finish area. This is usually water, some type of protein, fruit, and junk food.
We have a better idea – well a couple actually. Athletes HoneyMilk is an all-natural recovery drink perfect for post race recovery. HoneyMilk has both whey and casein blend so that you have the fast and slow acting protein. Another plus is that it’s lactose and gluten free, so it won’t upset your tummy. So here are a few ways to get what your body needs post race.
Put a few bottles of Athletes HoneyMilk in the freezer the night before your race. Then in the morning, put the frozen bottles in your gear check bag so you can enjoy a cold one at the finish.
Have your amazing, loving, supporting friends meet you at the finish line with a cold Athletes Honeymilk.
Since Athletes HoneyMilk doesn’t have to be cold to be great, you could just throw one in your gear bag or have your friends/family bring some to the race.
If you’re running the Cowtown Marathon this weekend make sure to stop by and see us at the HoneyMilk meetup on Saturday from 11am to 1pm. Check the details here. (There will be free HoneyMilk for all!)
Feelin Hot Hot Hot! That should have been the theme song for the 2010 Tour Des Fleurs. We had our usual, half a banana and juice prior to the race, put on our Athletes HoneyMilk gear and headed out. Since we live in Fort Worth now, we had to get up a little earlier to [...]
This year was attempt 1 for Isis and attempt 2 for Lee to complete El Scorcho. We had the pleasure of hosting Jennifer Whitter, @jenn_if_er. For those of you who don’t know her, she is truly a beautiful person. We had such a blast taking her to our favorite eateries and Super Target!! The day [...]
We had heard great things about the Warrior Dash and were super exited it was coming to Texas. Guess a lot of people felt that way because it was sold out in no time. We were so bummed we missed the mark and contacted Red Frog Events to see if there were any spots open. [...]
First of all, the fact that Isis PR’d has nothing to do with our opinion of the Inaugural Dallas Rock n Roll Half Marathon. That said…this race rocked! Let’s start with the expo. While we heard that this expo was going to be smaller than White Rock, we thought it had a lot more vendors. [...]
This year was a great year for the Cowtown series! They had a record breaking year with more than 21,000 runners. This race was not our strongest but the events leading up to the race were the most fun! Lee’s parents came all the way from Illinois to support The Running Couple. They even came [...]
Our first half marathon of 2010! With the San Antonio Rock n Roll and the Dallas White Rock half marathons behind us, we decided to take it easy in January and save our bodies for Austin…and we are glad we did! While Austin’s route was very hilly, it didn’t slow Isis down as she PR’d. [...]
Today was an especially cold day in Dallas, 20 degrees to be exact. There was literally ice all over our parking garage when we left our apartment this morning. With that being said, we were SO glad that our race was inside of Fountain Place. The race was a hit right from the start! When [...]
