Runningoncoffee is right - my nutritionist said Greek yogurt is a good recovery as well.<br /><br />We did a striped wall in our old house (watched a lot of Trading Spaces) but not as colorful. Very nice!<br /><br />And Pippi is so good. Maybe I need to work on Riley with that since he goes outside to greet everyone when I open the door.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05685998726719731301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944257210487042191.post-68921717120624679422012-08-21T00:29:36.181-04:002012-08-21T00:29:36.181-04:00Your stripe wall looks great!

And makes a great backdrop for Pippi :) My long runs are usually with my running group and end at a starbucks, so my post-run treat is usually an iced latte (hey, 8g of protein in a grande!) + oatmeal or a breakfast sandwich or a Clif bar from home. <br /><br />I second what Kara said. The Silk Pure Almond almond milk that I've bought only has 1g of protein per 8 oz compared with 8g of protein in the same amount of skim milk. Greek yogurt has anywhere from 10-20g/5ish oz container, depending on the brand.RunningOnCoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00715671909290199683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944257210487042191.post-72034710148529637222012-08-20T22:22:52.585-04:002012-08-20T22:22:52.585-04:00I love that striped wall!

So I just eat whatever I was planning, and there's usually some protein in there somewhere.

Almond milk only has like 1 gram in a cup, so I wouldn't really use that for protein. Well done on the bacon though. I want to see some killer recipes with it!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517428815573698474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944257210487042191.post-26954092004383704442012-08-20T17:30:01.653-04:002012-08-20T17:30:01.653-04:00Those walls are amazing.

Did I mention I love those walls? And from one striped wall painter to another, I know what you mean about painter's tape. Not meant for the perfectionist. I spent 2 months touching up the lines on our stripes with tiny artist's paintbrushes.

I'm pretty awesome at fueling later in the day, though.<br /><br />Pretty much the only thing I see on runs is road kill. There's nothing like having to vault over a deer carcass at 7 am to get you going.

I feel like my recovery time is shorter, plus I'm less hungry throughout the day. Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415512134390374929noreply@blogger.com
