I had plans to meet up with a running group in Huntington beach this morning so I fueled up with a PB&J sandwich and coffee. This is part of the reason I may be changing my schedule. The group isn’t doing long runs on weekends so I will have to do them on a different day.
Then, I was off to the beach for an easy 6 miler. I am skipping a long run this weekend all together and will be ramping back up next week!
Running at the beach makes me happy <3
When I got home I stretched and showered ate.
My favorite Smoothie in a bowl combo topped with cereal and almonds.
Actually I just found out my favorite flakes cereal has been discontinued – Special K Protein Plus is tasty and has decent nutritionals too! I cannot find it anywhere and my mom finally found the last 4 boxes at her local market. She gave me two. We both love this stuff!
See? Good stuff for a cereal. Guess I’m going to have to go back to granola. Darn

Now I am supposed to be shopping / planning for my mom’s Birthday Dinner tomorrow, but I’m watching Little Miss Sunshine. I am that little girl Olive. Or at least I was when I was a kid 
I am jealous! I want to run on the beach–soooooo bad!
I’m pretty sure my professor belongs to a running group that runs in Huntington Beach… how crazy would it be if it was the same one?! Haha, if you ever see a guy that looks like the Monopoly man, say hi for me 🙂
I will def tell the monopoly man Hi if I see him 🙂 Where do you go to school? Don’t answer that here if you’re trying to stay private…
I was momentarily bummed when I didn’t win your contest and then I found out I got a free entry another way, so I am there! Sweet!
I love running on/near the beach. How do you find a running group that runs at the beach?
There are a ton of running groups that head to the beach on weekends. I’ve seen them in Long Beach, Newport and Huntington. If you’re in the area I’m sure most groups run at the beach some days 🙂
Love running along PCH! Looks beautiful, especially on a day like today!
LOVE little miss sunshine! If you’re into that your should check out sunshine cleaning. Have you checked amazon for the cereal? Glad you had a good run!

I <3 Huntington Beach.
I love that movie too!
Running 6 miles on the beach sounds heavenly
Hi Monica! I am semi-new to the blogging world and just came across your blog! And I am so glad I did. I just read your About Me, and we sound very similar! I love the “I run far, just not fast” – I tell people that about myself ALL the time! Can’t wait to read more!
Hi Parita 🙂
Welcome and Thanks for reading!
I want some California weather here in D.C.!
Ah I went through a serious Special K with red berries phase back in college- I went through like a box a week. I’ve seen moved on haha but I’m glad to see they have one w some protein.. And for the record, Kashi’s Strawberry Fields is basically the same but with better ingredients.
