L.A. Easy Meals
Follow me on my culinary adventures as I create new recipes that are healthy, delicious and easy to make. As a marathon runner, full-time MBA student, co-owner of a real estate firm, freelance food writer and home cook, I am constantly looking for quick meals that are nutritious, without compromising taste and flavor. I can show you how to cook simple, delectable meals on a busy weeknight, or elegant dishes for a dinner party. Join me as I explore this big city of Los Angeles and all the restaurants, food & wine festivals it has to offer! Feel free to e-mail me at: andreatorng@gmail.com. I am also a food writer for Examiner.com for the Los Angeles Easy Meals column.
Here are some of my favorite tips to keep in mind while training for a marathon:
- Accept the fear. If marathoning were easy, everyone would be doing it and the medal wouldn’t mean a darn thing. Fear is a normal part of the process and an important survival tool. It makes us respect the distance and more importantly, prepare for it. Allow yourself to feel the fear, but put a limit on it.
- Marathon training is a lot like conducting an orchestra. A lot is happening all at the same time and you are in charge of managing it. Focus on the things you can control and let go of the things you can’t. When you sit in fear, review your log and have faith in preparation. You’re already doing the hard part (training), the race is the celebration.
“If you can’t run, then walk. And if you can’t walk, then crawl. Do what you have to do. Just keep moving forward and never, ever give up.” – Dean K.
You make me want to run.
