Monster Cookie Marathoning: Three Weeks to a PR

 by Jodi

Satisfaction is a new PR, a BQ, and a cute outfit.  Thanks Portland Running Company for stocking cool gear.

In May I ran the Willamette Valley Marathon and by the grace of God, earned a new PR, Boston qualifying time, and was the first woman to cross the finish line.  Don't waste your time being impressed -  it was a SMALL race, but it still felt awesome to run well.  A few runners have emailed or texted asking if I would share my training plan.

The answer in two words is: monster cookies.

Every good race I've run has been front-loaded with monster cookies in large quantities.  They're practically nutritious since they are packed with peanut butter and oatmeal. I eat TONS of these before every big race.  It's like a magic potent.  Just ask Carissa, Tanya or Devon.  They know I'm serious about an upcoming race when I start texting them photos of monster cookies.
