I made the thickest smoothie post run this morning.
In the mix: protein powder, ice, spinach, chia seeds, water. It made two glasses, which I enjoyed both of with a whole wheat Indian flat bread on the side. The flat bread from TJ’s is thick and chewy in the best way.
Half almond butter/pumpkin butter half pumpkin cream cheese with naner.
I was still hungry after this and decided to polish off a chocolate chip Larabar. This is better than I remembered 🙂
Pre-breakfast I had the best run! I found a good (read: downhill) route for most of it. Ahhhhh! There is something so psychological about having a good run. Like my confidence in myself is restored 🙂
6 miles average pace: 8:21
Mile 1: 8:22
Mile 2: 8:34
Mile 3: 8:15
Mile 4: 7:42 – I think this is the fastest I’ve ever ran a mile!
Mile 5: 8:13
Mile 6: 8:40
Pre-pre-run and breakfast I made Ben the most important meal of the day. I had some leftover pasta I had made him the other day. It wasn’t enough for a full meal, but I didn’t want to waste it.
I decided to throw it in a pan…
and added some eggs and cheese…
Served with some of the San Francisco sourdough I brought back from this weekend.
Leftover scrambles work with practically anything! Try it.
Question: Do you like leftovers? Do you change them up at all?
Whoo hoo – way to be SPEEDY!
I love the idea of putting eggs with the leftover pasta…I’ll have to try that. We always end up with a tiny serving left over. I usually add extra veggies to it and call it a lunch at work, but this egg idea is awesome!
Great Job on the mile! and that flat bread looks super yummy!
OMG you are super speedy – GO MONICA! I love leftovers, they mean no cooking the next day! I try to always make at least 2 meals at a time because I get home too late too cook so much of the time. Or I can throw it in the freezer for a quick meal later on! I love the scramble idea, need to try that.
Congrats on your mile! Thats amazingly fast, sister!
I feel like THE HULK whenever i have an amazing run!! it’s awesome when you can just go faster….and faster…AND FASTER! you feel like a rockstar…like “Oh yeah i completed 9 miles..AND WHAT?”
I wish I were a fan of eggs, because that scramble looks delicious! Thanks for also reminding me to add chia seeds to my next smoothie–I always forget about them!
I tend to HATE leftovers with a passion. I don’t know why, I just like my food better fresh!
Great run, speedster! I love it when that happens 🙂
Congrats on your fastest mile! 🙂
I agree, scrambles work with everything! Lately I can’t get enough of them!
Congrats on the mile PR!! That’s so awesome!
I usually just reheat my leftovers, but you’ve got me thinking about tofu scrambles and baked potato toppings now, especially for the “little of this, little of that” type stuff. :contemplates curry over tofu:
Awesome run! I wish I were faster like I used to be 2 years ago, but on the bright side I can run MUCH farther now which also makes me happy. Come run the National Marathon, we’ll pace a sub 4:00, and I’ll give you a business card 🙂
Congrats on the awesome run! I love leftovers. Some things taste better the next day like a big pot of chili.
Great job on the run! That’s fast!
I like leftovers. Most of the time they are pretty good. With chicken leftovers we usually mix them up…make fajitas, quesadillas, salads, etc.
I live on leftovers…and eggs mixed with them. But pasta with eggs? That’s new to me. And it sounds good:-).
Congratulations on your mile!! thats excellent! Your breakfast doesn’t look half bad either 🙂
yay for a fast mile! i never change up leftovers. often i don’t even reheat hahah.
The TJ’s flatbread looks really good.
