Spaghetti and Meatballs

Yesterday was my first official day of training for the Chicago Marathon. Even though I am ahead of schedule from having just completed the Cleveland Half, I still consider yesterday to be Day 1 of my training.


I was reading the new Runner's World over the weekend and came across an article about running twice a day. This is something that I would love to be able to do when I have the time. I figure why not get in running twice in one day if my schedule permits. I know that most days I will not be able to run twice, so it also gives me a cushion if I am forced to skip a short run another day during the week.


For my first day of training, I am proud to say that I was able to get in 7 miles! Four in the morning and then another 3 after work.


The 3 after work were easier to crank out knowing that we were going to eat dinner at Noodles and Company afterwards. After a nice 3 mile run up Ft. Scott, we arrived at Noodles and Company where I tried their new dish -- Spaghetti and Meatballs.


Since I am a huge fan of the Wisconsin Mac and Cheese, if I am going to get something else, it better be good. I must say the Spaghetti and Meatballs lived up to my expectation. It was spicy, simple and the perfect portion. I would definitely recommend!
