How do you reward yourself, i.e., after a long run, after reaching a goal, etc. What’s your indulgence?
Donuts….I love donuts, especially H & K donuts — Tom Toale
Long run of >10 miles = whole grain toast with peanut butter and honey and a mug of coffee. — Sue Carstarter
After a long run if it’s a race I always treat myself to pancakes at Avantis! — Kelly Dixon
Beer, Beer and more Beer!!! — Dale Werner
I’m running my first half marathon this spring and my planned reward is a new piece of running gear. Maybe some new shoes or a cute pair of capris? — Meredith Estrich
Chocolate milk after a long run in the summer! — Karen Manganaro
Long runs deserve a nap. Reaching a goal is usually rewarded with wings at my favorite wing tavern. I know that bad food isn’t the best reward for for a job well done, but achieving that goal normally means forgoing bad foods. — Greg Wigham
My next big goal’s reward is a large screen TV.
— Ed Shanley
To be able to enjoy the gratification of meeting the goal will uplift you to want to do better. — Tom Twohig
New gear! — Amy Cronk
Plan the next long run, or goal. LOL. — Rob Kolodziejczak
Big fat latte (occasionally), long warm shower, sweatpants day with no guilt. — Tracy Jenks
Beer. — Michael Morris
Ice Cream! — Jessie Zahner
Every once in a great while: French toast with gobs of butter and syrup. Strong coffee to wash it down with of course! — Ginny Sackett
Chipotle salad with double steak and guac! — Randy KuleszaBeer! I usually have a beer after a long run. I have a rule which is that one must never drink before 5pm on a workday and never drink before 12pm over the weekend but as with all rules there is an exception and that exception is that if you run 13 miles or more you can drink beer whenever the heck you want! So after a long run i have a beer
— Rachel Prozan
Smile for a moment and immediately set a new goal. The Party is over that fast. — Patrick Dwyer
As for me? After a long run on a cold winter day — if I have the time — I reward myself with a hot bath with a hot coffee (plenty of hazelnut creamer!), some dark chocolate to dip into said coffee (seriously…you HAVE to try it) and the total luxury of 20 minutes of uninterrupted (thank God for locking doors) reading time.




I treat myself to a brew of the finest local beer the BrewErie has to offer – nothing says accomplishment like a nice Major McNair’s Nut Brown.
