    Usually rice, black beans and veggies (broccoli, carrots, green beans, peas, onion, etc) mixed together.

    For a long run I do some type of pasta with a cream sauce with veggies and chicken.

    Usually pizza. It's treated me well before long training runs, and it's easy to find when we travel to a race away from home.

    I usually eat pizza the nights before my long runs, so I usually stick with that for races as well.

    Pasta (with marinara sauce, turkey meatballs, and parmesan), whole grain bread, and salad.

    Pizza is usually a good bet.  I try and avoid eating too many veggies... it seems to help prevent bathroom breaks during the race.  (I've never had an issue during a race, but I've had this problem during long runs and leafy greens seem to be the culprit)

    Chicken parm with pasta and salad. It treated me well once before a race and I stuck with it since then.

    Some sort of simple pasta--spaghetti and meatballs, pasta alla vodka and chicken, etc.  And veggies.  And lots of water.  And usually a glass of wine to help me fall asleep quickly!

    If it's a shorter race, whatever I am in the mood for.  If it's 9-10 miles + I have to be careful with what I eat.  a simple pasta & chicken dish, pizza or pancakes seem to work the best.  I have to avoid greens, veggies, etc.... the night before a long run or race.

    A couple of slices of plain, cheese pizza.  I do try to mop off most of the grease with a paper towel though.
