Post 1/2 Marathon Disciplined Indulgent Treat

Sunday, October 24th

I "ran"

The Los Angeles Rock n Roll 1/2 Marathon

I Love this pic!

I was craving something super delicious

as a treat to celebrate a few long weeks of training clients and completing this 1/2 Marathon, completely unprepared, over trained, and utterly exhausted.

Sometimes I crave some "interesting" things after a long run

Cold pizza and beer

really hit the spot after the

San Diego Rock n Roll 1/2 Marathon

(June 2010)

After this 1/2 Marathon, I was craving something a little more indulgent.

Marrow Bones!

But first, I had to make a quick pit stop to one of my all time favorite places 

Best Fish Taco in Ensenada

for a shrimp taco before heading to my other post-run-standby

Chi Dynasty in Los Feliz

for a large order of Sizzling Rice Soup!

After taking care of serious business

Saying hello to the most wonderful fish taco stand owner, Joseph Cordova, and eating my favorite immediate-post-run-snack

and heading to Chi Dynasty for my Sizzling Rice Soup

I headed towards

My Meaty Mecca

McCall's Meat and Fish

to grab some

BONES!!!

Placed them atop some foil on a baking sheet,

sprinkled them with flake salt and some freshly ground pepper

and surrounded them with fresh sage from my garden

and let them get all toasty

Served them with toasted whole grain bread

and a bottle of bubbly

What more could a gal ask for?

Toasted Shallots, Garlic, and Onions!

...for the amazing Cod

Also picked up from McCall's!

Of course, I had to throw in some pretty heirloom tomatoes

for color, flavor, texture, and nutritional value

All served up with my favorite view

He loved the bones

and the pretty fish as much as I did!

What do you enjoy after a run?
