Respect Must Be Paid

This morning, my mom informed me that today is Momofuko Ando's birthday. Respect for Mr. Ando must be paid. 

Who is Momofuko Ando?  Other than being the man with the most fun name  ever, Mr. Ando is the inventor of my all time favorite post-run refuel meal. 

That's right, today I celebrate Momofuko Ando's birthday because without him there would be no Ramen and I would be way less happy after my runs.

Here is to you Mr. Ando. You will forever have a place in my heart (and stomach).  

Yeah, yeah. I know it's probably the weirdest and most unhealthy post-run craving. But, it's my craving and I'm totally cool with it.
