keep running...

After 2 days of rest & recovery I ran into work this morning, I just couldn't wait to put on my runners & hit the pavement. I pulled up pretty well after my epic marathon on Sun & thinking I have my recovery down pat, my routine -

Sunday...post race, walked home to stretch out, hot shower then 30seconds of cold intervals (more intervals aaarrgh!!) put my feet up, kept stretching, took some nurofen before bed.
Monday...epsom salts bath am, walked in my compression skins & floated in the pool pm.
Tuesday...power plates stretching/massage session.
Wednesday...light 5k jog am, organic yoga class pm.

& after putting my body through such exertion, I have been rather ravenous since Sunday. I have had some super tasty meals, awesome recovery foods I've had - 

Breakfasts - macro fruity muesli (sugar free) with almond milk
Vegan nachos - with my tomato bean & coriander chilli
Baked sweet potato with felafel & tomato, bean & coriander chilli.
Lunches - avocado, tomato, cucumber, lettuce rye wraps
Cauliflower & chick pea curry with brown rice !!! Amazing recipe coming up.
