| Penne Chicken Ala Vodka |
I've gained over 3 pounds since Friday despite racing on Saturday and then running 10 miles on Sunday. Maybe more, but I've stayed away from the scale today.
I believe the penne chicken ala vodka that The Murph made for me for my pre-race carb dinner is the culprit.
The Murph's comment was, "You were feasting on that shit man!"
Not only did I have a plate full of this stuff on Friday night (pre-race), but I had huge plate fulls of leftovers on Saturday and Sunday.
I 've had enough carbs the past three days to have enough glycogen stores to do back to back Ironman/Marathon/Marathon/sprint tri/5k run without running out of fuel. Ok, that's exaggerating, but I'm feeling a little bloaty right about now. Think I'll stay away from pasta for a while.
The Murph does make the best chicken ala vodka in the world. No exaggerating. He copied it from my favorite dish at Bellini's, a local restaurant here in Birmingham owned by a guy who I swear looks like Newman on Seinfeld. Kind of freaky! Bellini's also has the best pomegranate martini ever as well as the best penne chicken ala vodka ever - second only to The Murph.
Mmm! I want that...without the chicken, of course.
