You Asked: What Should I Eat Before Running a Marathon?
You asked: "I am running my first half marathon in little over a week and I was curious to know your suggestion about what the appropriate dinner the night before would be and also what if any type of breakfast I should have before the race."
Thanks for the question. For the answer I looked to my friends over at CoolRunning.com, the authority on running marathons.

Happy Hour: Big O
For the past couple of days, the weather in San Francisco has been absolutely amazing, and although I'm dreaming of frothy tropical drinks and fruit-laden sangrias, I know it's only March.
