Heigh-ho fellow warriors,

Well, we are less than a month away from the Warrior Dash, and I hope everyone’s training is going well.  We all know that carbs are an essential nutrient in the warrior’s diet, and we will need every gram we can get for the 3 mile trek.  I am suggesting a carbo-loading feast the night before the race.  Back in high school, for cross-country, the team would get together every Friday night and have a large spaghetti dinner at a teammate’s home in preparation for the following morning’s race. Now, I am not asking anyone to volunteer and spend and entire evening cooking up pounds and pounds of noodles; rather, I suggest a trip to Olive Garden.

The Never-Ending Pasta Bowl is a great way to load up on energy for the following day.  Not to mention the added fiber and extra energy from the salad and breadsticks, respectively.  Plus, there’s nothing wrong with a lil’ red wine for the ol’ heart.  It’s a very affordable meal (around $8 or $9, I think), and who doesn’t enjoy a good dinner at Olive Garden?

If you are either for or against the idea, let me know and I can plan accordingly.
