I love that getting up bright and early for a race is actually sleeping in for me now hahahahaha!!!
I headed in Portland this morning for the Bridge to Brews 10k. They had a good setup and easy race day packet pick-up. They did have a bag drop but you had to have brought a bag which i didn’t. After i got my packet pick-up i walked back to my car to drop off my race shirt and my sweater.
We got lined up and headed out!
Part of the run was on the freeway which was interesting.
We got to run over the Freemont bridge.
The official chip times haven’t been posted but the time when i crossed the finish lines was a 2 min faster than my last PR. But my Garmin said i PR’d by 10min! We will see what the official race time says.
After the race i had a date waiting at the finish line for me. I gave him my drink tickets and proceeded to get him tipsy at 10:30am hahahaha.
We then went out to lunch to a pizza place that was a million block walk but a very cool place. It is part of the Portland underground.
This is the bathroom lol.
The rest of the day was off my feet at home.
Isn’t she soooo sweet!? Lol
Overall i enjoyed the race, they had bands along the way and 2 aid stations. The only faults i have are no bags given for the bag checks and the insane lines at the beer stations but that was pretty much to be expected.

Congrats! To answer your question, after running high mileage for a little while your appetite evens out. But yes, I do fuel my body with nutrient rich foods. I could not survive and stay fit eating garbage. Check out my Ultrarunner FAQs post, it explains my day to day nutrition if u need more info. Happy running! 😘
