Run Eat Repeat

Too Slow, Too Fast

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
20 Jul

Today I could not get my speed right.

First I did some hill repeats too slow. Then, I ate too fast. If I could just get better timing I would be a fast, slim runner with excellently delivered jokes*  ðŸ™‚

After my speedy hill repeats I had a simple breakfast of a Perfect 10 bagel with Almond Butter and Jelly (I always say jelly really aggressively. Is that weird?)IMG_0075

The rest of the day went like this: work,work,work…

After work I took a short walk around the neighborhood as I waited for Ben to be done. I am not loving being cooped up in an office all day – I’m going stir-crazy! Being an adult is overrated kids. But long walks make it better 🙂

Sometimes these shoes are made for walking

Then, I came home to dinner and saw Ben’s mom sent us a Care Package! She is the sweetest.

RER Quiz:

364 cookie pieces = 1 cookie. Fact.

True or False – Broken Cookies are better because the calories leak out.

True. Totally true.

      Haha your cookie calories ‘rules’ sound similar to some of mine… I truly believe that if you go crazy overeating on the same one food than you won’t gain weight… it’s ludicrous but even as I type this I really do kinda believe it’s true… or at least I must since I continue to eat like this sometimes lol!

      If the cookie is whole, I won’t eat it…too many calories. But if it’s a broken, a few pieces here or there won’t hurt right?

      I personally hate broken cookies, but especially broken chips. I pick out all of the whole ones and then put the bag or box away. My husband gets those lovely leftovers. =)

      Hi! Been reading for quite awhile and just noticed that we wear the same running shoes 🙂 Anyway, just wondering if that’s a Run ID tag on your left shoe and if so – does it move around? I’ve been debating getting one, but don’t want to feel it there…

      Love your blog btw! I’ve been taking a few weeks *cough*months*cough* hiatus from my own and have enjoyed just being a reader for awhile. However, today will be my return to the blogosphere! ….I think 🙂

      Have a great day! Becky

      I always ask my bakery for broken cookies. Works like a charm. And to know NOW that they have lesser calories. Done!

      Hilarious! I love your take on calories. I would also like to propose that calories are entirely removed from food on your birthday and during Christmas dinner. 🙂

      dear roommate of awesomeness –

      true.
      i feel the same way about savvy scones.

      a little birdie told me that savvy scones may be making an appearance in our room at HLS.

      consider yourself warned. you will cry they are so good.

      The broken cookies would haunt me until I ate every last little piece. I’m neurotic and cannot stand to see little pieces mixed in with the bigger cookies; I’d remove all the big pieces, set them aside and eat all the little pieces and crumbs. Simply to clear my mind. And that is why I’ll never drop those last five pounds. 🙂
