Today was clearly the No Carb Left Behind Tour….part II.
Caitlin and I had a perfectly lovely day of laying around and eating everything in sight. Why can’t every day be like today? I snacked on some millet toast with earth balance and jam:
And then we had an early dinner of the homemade four cheese stuffed shells that I pre-made on Thursday night (and froze). I’ll post the recipe next week—promise! We also had roasted broccoli for some veggie lovin’
And then we decided it was pure genius to go get Coldstone. I haven’t had Coldstone since COLLEGE! Be still my heart.
I got a small cake batter with oreo and caramel sauce. I practically licked the cup clean. And then drank a gatorade cause that’s how I roll.
Speaking of rolling, the alarm in this party house is goin off at 5:15 tomorrow morning. Caitlin’s dad is picking us up at 5:45 and we are driving the hour to Napa to the race start. We’re meeting some fun bloggies while stuffing our faces with bagels and cream cheese and then the event officially starts at 8:30. There’s rest stops every 20 miles and, don’t you worry, I’ll be twittering. Read at your own free will though. I can’t guarantee what my thought process will be like after five hours on the bike. It might get dirty. Just sayin’.
Thank you all SO much for donating for this fantastic cause. I couldn’t have done it without you!
Wish us luck!!!!

Thanks!
Good luck!! Can’t wait to hear the race updates!!
The jumbo shells look fantastic!
GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK! You will dominate
When I carb-loaded for my ride last weekend I thought I’d be in heaven being able to eat so much…but honestly it was too much food!
I hope that Coldstone gives you some good race energy:)
Good luck!!!!! Can’t wait to read all about it! Y’all must be rocking it right now!
Twittering while racing?
True blogger to the heart; I’m amazed.
Enjoy the ride!
Good Luck lady! Can’t wait for the recap!
Cake batter is THE best coldstone flavor. Have so much fun today!!
Cake batter + oreos = best ice cream EVER!!! I got Twix last time, which wasn’t a great idea, because the chunks didn’t mix in well with the ice cream. I obviously spent time analyzing this
Those shells look great! I can’t even remember the last time I went to a Cold Stone…I over did it on their Birthday Cake Remix and after that I only wanted my favorite plain old chocolate-vanilla twist soft-serve with rainbow sprinkles or mint chocolate chip.
GOOD LUCK! I know you girls will do a great job! I’m so proud of you!
Lots of luck! I can’t wait for the stuffed pasta shells recipe, they look incredible!
I love Cold Stone and I swear I eat there like once a month. I normally get their sinless sweet cream with some sort of topping. BTW, good luck and have fun!
Wish you tons of luck, Jenna!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela
good luck sister!
Cold Stone is good and evil all at the same time.
I’ve been running around all day but I’m off to read your twitter feed
Best of luck for the race!!! Can’t wait to read all about it
Good Luck Jenna!!!! Have fun!
Love the bubblegum pink jacket in pic #1. Is it from Lululemon? I checked their website and they do not have anything like that or in that colour.
Mmmm cold stone…so good!
I hope the race went well, can’t wait to hear all about it!!
It is 9pm-ish east coast time and I am wondering how you ladies are doing!! I am so excited to hear from both of you. I am sure the stories will be great and the pictures even better!! I’ll be seeing the re-cap in the AM I am sure
Hope it was a blast!
I haven’t had Cold Stone in forever. The Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chunk is the best combo ever!
Good luck on the race tomorrow!
Best of luck to you both – even though by now, I’m sure you are DONE!! Woo-hoo!
PS- I used to work at Coldstone in college! Sweet cream with Reese’s is definitely a “Be Still My Heart” experience.
I gave you an award on my blog!
Cake batter is from the heavens. I believe they were coming out with an oatmeal cookie batter and brownie batter too… or it was just my dream
I can’t wait to hear how you did!! Such a big deal
Good luck! Sounds like you’re having a blast. I hope you feel awesome and kick that races ass!
Endorphins, seratonin and all that other healthy stuff aside, one of the greatest benefits of exercise – especially extremely long distance-related activity – is the excuse to eat copious amounts of carbful deliciousness. And Coldstone. Copious amounts of Coldstone, anyone
?
Good luck to both of you!
I know that by now you’ve already raced, but good luck anyways! Can’t wait to hear how it went!
You did the full 100!! I had a feeling that might happen;) Congratulations!!
Awesomeness today
I had a strong feeling you’d do the full 100 today too! My first time following a Twitter feed. Way to go!
You are simply an amazing!
