I always try to set out my running clothes and gear the night before a workout... My excitement for the next run always begins the night before... so my routine is to set out the clothes, tennis shoes and my favorite garmin. Last night knowing I had 8 miles in the morning I decided to add a post it with one of my favorite running quotes... It was great to read over and over before heading out early this morning.
I tried oats today before my long run, I was inspired by this awesome blog post over at Fannetasticfood.com
Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal with almond milk!!
I chopped up my trader joe's twizzlers and wrapped them up to take on the long run with me. I knew i'd need some sugar to keep me going past and hour, thankfully it was a success and hit the spot!
What do you pack for long runs? I have a protein shake and banana to refuel afterwards. As well as a bag of ice to help any sore muscles after my run.
As I pulled up to the parking lot it began to pour I mean buckets, but I saw tons of people still determined to run so I happily jumped out of the car ready for adventure!!
So here's the reacap 1:11 for almost 8mi, in the pouring rain!! Felt amazing at the end and no pain in my legs, so blessed!! After the run we practiced strides, I'm going to be adding this to the end of my workouts.
Nothing in the whole world tastes as good as svelte protein after a run or workout. My favorite is the cappuccino, it has natural ingredients and really replenish me after giving all I've got in workouts.
I don't know what it is with me and run-ins with lizards but please look at this HUGE green one on a tree!!! I saw that big guy as I was walking home.
Yeah this totally happened.... after running in the rain my braid became a KNOT....
Post run breakfast was a dellicioius egg and cheese sandwich and lots of frozen mango!!
After the run Britt and I got dressed to go to our favorite spot for lunch.
Even though it rained all day britt and I made the most of it! Starbuck for a few hours and even got in a few pictures while it wasn't raining out.
sweet tomatoes salads are the bomb.com
funny desert but hit the spot!!
work in progress.. good talks
Is it bad that I couldn't wait to get home to put this yummy baked spaghetti in the oven and then in my tummyyy!!!
salad with dinner.... not to mention the 2.5 cups of broccoli I snacked on while waiting for everything to be ready!
dinner....minus that one little bite of bread oops, my bad
yes this happened! after dinner there were some bananas that were practically calling my name to be baking in to muffins... literally calling my name (:
then it was on to cleaning my room and yes I am not ashamed to admit.... I found these under my bed and they needed some love....
My desk all decked out for FALL! I LOVE FALL!!! PUMPKIN SPICE FOREVER!!
one last desert before bed! greek yogurt, granola and a few chocolate chips!! mmmm what an amazing day!
