My half marathon is October 15 and I would like a special treat to celebrate. Any suggestions?

I grab chocolate milk as soon as I cross the finish line!
After my half marathon on Sunday I had a spinach/feta omelet!
But my ultimate treat....I always always have a cupcake after a race.0 -
After a 5K a trip to Cracker Barrel for the stuff I don't usually eat! I'll let you know after my 10K next month and my 1/2 in December what I do differently!0

That's my birthday, so I suggest CAKE!
I usually do my long training runs on a Saturday so after those I eat pretty much whatever I want for dinner.0 -
Spa pedicure with the extra massage0

A big steak!!! Yummm:) I guess it will be morning though... soo I'd say french toast, eggs, bacon, and some fruit!0

I had a full body massage 2 days after my 1/2...
After the race, I had a protein brownie, tonnnns of water, and my partner took me for Vietnamese for dinner. I say do/have whatever makes you happy!0 -
Eat some of those calories back, but reward yourself with non food items0

I enjoyed two pieces of pizza, a greek salad and a beer after mine, and I did not feel guilty....
If you are looking for a personal reward- I'd say a new pair of running shoes - if you've been eyeing them, a massage, a chiropractic adjustment (think I'm going to go in for one).....0 -
My favorite post-race food (after I rehydrate) is a bagel loaded with cream cheese, coffee and a banana. Right after that I am craving a beer, pizza or whatever other fatty food I can get my hands on!0

CHEESE BURGER and a BEER!0

My reward for achieving a new PR in the 10K I ran back in June was new running shoes and a trip to Buffalo Wild Wings.0

I've got a 10k coming up this Saturday and plan on treating myself by being lazy for the rest of the day. They treat us with food so I think I'll be all set there - although I may go get an ice cream since it's going to be nice out.0

A pedicure for my feet that worked so hard!0
-
Beer, which I wash down with a little beer.
After the Disney Wine & Dine I made an exception and had wine instead.0 -
The 5k I'm doing is called the "Chocolate Chase" and is part of a chocolate festival. I get a chocolate favor and refreshments after :laugh:0
