Happy Thursday! I spent last night on the couch watching Knotting Hill and other random TV so let’s back up to yesterday…
Before my afternoon shift I had a pumpkin yogurt parfait. Yep, right in the container because I’m lazy like that.
Then, I trained one client and came home to make dinner. I considered doing a 2nd run for my RTB training, but it was warm out and I was lazy. Oh well.
I found green beans on sale earlier and based my meal around green bean fries. I ate most of the “Family Size” pack and saved 3 fries for Ben.
I wanted to be a nice wife and save Ben half my Reese’s Peanut Butter cup, but that’s just crazy talk. Why are Reese’s Peanut Butter eggs / hearts / trees extra delicious?!
Last night while watching TV I saw the new Nike Free commercial and have decided to run across the country this summer. (Seriously, called my mom and told her to drive along side me and everything. Although, she might have just been humoring me…)
You have to click here to watch it – I Would Run to You
Now to Thursday…
I like to take one day off from running one day midweek and lately it’s been Thursday (I always take 1 weekend day off too). So, I took a walk with Ben this morning and will do a strength workout at the gym later 
I woke up with one thing on my mind – TOAST. So I had a piece before our walk and then two more with breakfast. At least it wasn’t junk.
A few weeks ago a rep from Achiva sent me a bag of Chia Seed & Coconut Water drink mix. I was hesitant because I’m not in love with the taste of most coconut waters, but he swore it was more like Chai than anything else.
Ben and I tried the drink and liked it. It does taste like chai! Yes, the words “chia” and “chai” are very similar so this could be confusing.
This morning I stirred a scoop of the drink mix into Ben’s oatmeal and it was really good! Now I want to try it in yogurt.
The peeps at Achiva are giving 5 RER readers a bag of the stuff.

Running across the country sounds so fun to me; perhaps we can meet in the middle have some yummies and be on our way.
Bfast this morning was oatmeal with vanilla with 1 chopped up Pink Lady apple with cinnamon – oh and maple syrup mixed in too. Oh boy is that yummy. Hope I win the coconut chia mix sounds interesting! 🙂

I am a pretty inefficient runner! Just starting…my first 5K on Saturday! I’ve gotten some pretty nasty shin splints, probably my technique.

Oatmeal! (and yes to your second question 🙂 )
1. This morning I had oatmeal with almond/coconut milk, strawberry jelly, coconut oil, a drizzle of maple agave syrup, touch of vanilla, cinnamon, allspice and blackberries. Same breakfast I had Monday through Wednesday of this week.
2. If you’d like to stay at the only place where the Mississippi River runs East to West, stop on by! We’ve got some great running and biking trails and we’re the home of John Deere!

I had fresh juice, an egg and English Muffin. And you’d be more than welcome to stay on your run!
It’s true! The trees/hearts/eggs DO taste better. Why is that, I wonder?
my breakfast was tragic because i ran my long run for this week and ran out of time for a proper breakfast (i do NOT consider a pre run banana and a kid sized granola bar at mile 5 breakfast) 🙁 so technically nothing, unless you consider that i eat my first snack of the day at 10:15… I live in colorado and yes you can most definitly use my house as a pit stop!

I had Cream of Wheat Healthy Grain (made with water) mixed with 2 splendas for breakfast. I know, I know…Cream of Wheat sounds so old school but the Healthy Grain has 150cal and 7g protein and actually tastes good AND keeps me full for a while (as opposed to oatmeal which is like activating a hungry beast).
1. Woke up late, so hand lunch instead. Salmon, chicken, brown rice and 2 eggs over-easy .. yum! 🙂

This morning I had 2 bananas for breakfast (nursing a bit of a hangover, and that’s all I could handle).
North Carolina is a great running state! (But HOT in the summer!) Come on over!
I had PB on a tortilla, some nuts, soy milk and coffee. I usually have oatmeal, though.

Breakfast was oatmeal with Trader Joes Dried Berry Mix, Golden Raisins, Almond Slices and Cinnamon. The Dried Berry Mix from TJ’s actually has dried STRAWBERRIES! Once the hot water hits the mix it rehydrates the berries and they are so good. I’ve heard about the Chia seeds from your blog but can not seem to locate them! Maybe I’m just blind in the grocery store. 🙁

Hi Cortney from Pullman! What a small world!
I am doing Bloomsday. I’m coming back from a knee injury so I won’t be running the whole thing, but I hope to beat my bum-knee time from last year haha.
I had something similar for breakfast. Chobani greek yogurt, honey flavored, with bear naked granola and walnuts! And a banana because I have to eat them before they turn yucky and brown.
I had banana pancakes. Made with oats, egg whites and a banana with lots of AB on top!!
I had a green smoothie and a blob of peanut butter for breakfast.
And, I’m not sure if my house would count as a pit stop since it’s on the east coast. But, if it would be, you’re more than welcome to stay!
This morning I had an egg white scramble with a frozen veggie mix, it had broccoli, carrots and cauliflower and then drenched it in salsa. Soooooo good!
If you run up to Washington, come stay with me, I have an extra room! 🙂
On my Bucket List is “run in all 50 states” but running across the country in one fell swoop adds a rather appealing twist 🙂 So far, I’ve only run in one- Illinois- so I need to kick this up a notch. You can crash at my place! You’ll need it- Illinois is BORING. 😉
