Sushi, it’s what’s for dinner…

To answer the flood of email I have received on what type of nourishment fuels a Marathon Ninja I’ve decided to give you a taste (pun intended) of what I had for dinner tonight.

At the suggestion of my sister I made my way over to the Green Tea Japanese Restaurant and picked up some sushi. To be precise I had 4 pieces of sake (fresh salmon), 4 pieces of maguro (tuna), and a 10 pieces made from a Chicago Spicy Crazy Roll. This is a large order of food but I was H-U-N-G-R-Y after my run tonight.



The sushi chefs who tag-teamed my order did an outstanding job and I proclaim it some of the most excellent sushi I have had in Chicago. I am fairly sure the meal wasn’t very high in carbs but I had pasta for lunch and was in the mood for sushi. It was just d-licious enough to have me put the restaurant’s delivery number in my speed dial.

Since this blog is not sanctioned by the Food Network I guess I should talk about training a little. I ran 3 miles today in too much clothing (3 layers on top, 3 on bottom) for 29 degree weather. While I was warm when I started about a mile in I was working up a good sweat. To make matters worse one of my shirts was cotton, not a wicking material, so that was good and soaked rather quickly. The run itself wasn’t too bad but I was pretty slimy by the time I got back to my apartment (I ran outside).

The only other notable feature of today’s run was I didn’t wear a watch or use any other time keeping device. I might have run 3 twelve-minute miles (doubtful) or 3 seven-minute mile (for me impossible) I guess I’ll never know. The truth is it was probably somewhere between 8:45 and 9:15 since I was trying to take it easy today. I was still a little sore from lifting on Sunday but that’s the price I pay for being massive (kidding).

Until next time, “Go Ninja, go ninja, go!”
