Run Eat (Mile) Repeat

Posted: 28 Aug 2012 09:39 AM PDT

I woke up this morning not exactly looking forward to my run. I was supposed to do 4 x 1 mile repeats between 7:40-8:00 <- which I read as "just try to do one under 8 minutes".

Before I left I had half of an apple banana for fuel. IMG_7119 (800x600)

Since there is no close track I headed back to the route where the duck hit me in the head. It's a half mile path connected to a park, so I did the path and then looped around the park for the full mile. It's not completely flat, but not hilly either – just a few bumps in the road.IMG_7104 (600x800)

1 mile warm up, 8:00, 7:57, 7:59, 7:50, .5 mile cool down.

Done.IMG_7102 (800x600)

When I got back I wanted something cool to eat so I went with a yogurt bowl. That would be pineapple chobani aka the best yogurt ever as the base Smile IMG_7114 (600x800)

I know some hardcore peeps use plain yogurt all the time because they're better than me but this pineapple stuff is like dessert (only lacking chocolate). But, once I'm done with these individual cartons (that were on sale) I need to go back to the plain stuff because it's half the price and then I can be super duper healthy too…

I added this new Trader Joes product to the bowl – Honey Roasted AlmondsIMG_7107 (800x600)IMG_7112 (800x600)

They are delicious! Buy them.IMG_7110 (800x600)

Question: What did you have for breakfast?

Ever done a running repeat?

Plain yogurt – yah or nay?

Meatless Monday Blog Roll

How's your Monday going?!

Mine is going great, but it's still pretty hot around here…

And it's supposed to be 96 degrees tomorrow! Good thing Ben put up our new fan yesterday – I've been parked under it all day SmileIMG_7088 (800x600)

I had a very busy week of work last week, and balancing the blog and training a few days a week on top of it is a lot. I'm trying to stay on top of things, but some weeks I do that better than others. Since this week involves some travel I'm trying to be super efficient with my time.

I broke for lunch and did blog stuff while enjoying this salad with TJ's peanut dressing, chickpeas, cashews and sweet potato chips. Broken chips make the best croutons Smile

I mentioned in July I'm trying to put Meatless Monday back in rotation, but I am not posting a meatless meal today because.

1. It's too hot to cook.

2. I'm lazy like Vegas…IMG_7091 (800x600)

3. My mom sent us home with tamales for dinner tonight Smile

Instead I thought I'd share a few of my favorite veggie recipe blogs (these ladies are all around awesome too!!!):
