in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone!

I joined MFP a short while ago as part of my marathon training. I run two a year, and it's always tricky keeping my diet on track with my training. I just recently completed the Myrtle Beach marathon - always a fun town to visit.

When I'm training, I go wild with the carbs, particularly potatoes. They are a perfect high energy food for runners.

However, I also go wild on them when I'm not training, so I'm hoping the logging on here will keep me focused.

Looking forward to all the fun!

    You can also run with a few spuds as small workout weights.

    Best of luck on your potatogurney

    Welcome aboard! My roomate just ran in the Myrtle Beach marathon! We had a blast partying afterwards at the House of Blues. And it's always nice to meet another fan of the starches. They are my weakness.

    Hey sounds like you are doing great. When you are not running maybe you could eat mashed cauliflower.It is great boiled & mashed w/ little butter & parsley flakes.

    thanks, I've got that song in my head now :noway:

    and I hate mashed potatoes. they're my nemesis food. I only like potatoes if they're baked or roasted or deep fried. yes I'm fussy. but spud-u-like with baked beans and tuna mayo is heavenly

    Now I have cravings for spud-u-like + baked beans + tuna mayo. And there's only one spud-u-like in Bahrain, and they've never heard of baked beans

    :sad:

    ETA: not sure it's even a genuine spud-u-like for that matter, it does have spud in the name though...

    I thought I recognized you! This explains the whole mashed potato food fight you had going on. That must have taken forever to clean up.
