Good Morning! I had 8 miles on my training plan today, but realized I haven’t taken a 100% day off from running since Thursday. So, I’m adjusting my schedule.
I ended up doing 4 miles today:
And completely changed my plan for the rest of the week.
Monday: Easy 5
Tuesday: 4 miles and Strength
Wednesday: Spin, Abs
Thursday: 8 mile tempo
Friday: Strength and a class
Saturday: Long Run
I wore my new yellow shirt that Champion sent me for my run. I am LOVING the color yellow lately so I was excited when I got this! I like that it has a v-neck that’s not very low and the fit is streamlined without being tight. ( For reference if you’re interested in this top: This is a Medium (as is the sports bra), I wear a Large in the bottoms.)
They also sent a wick-wear hoodie. I appreciate when workout clothes are cut longer in the mid-section. I hate feeling like I have to keep pulling at it to keep it from showing my belly.
(Champion sent me a bunch of workout clothes as part of their Ambassador program. My reviews are always my own opinion.)
Protein Pumpkin Pancakes are back! (Yes, they were only really gone for 4 days but that’s a long time in my world.)
Pancakes are better with sprinkles on top – chia sprinkles in this case.
Question: Do You Prefer Rainbow or Chocolate sprinkles?
Hi there! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay. I’m definitely enjoying your
blog and look forward to new updates.
These look amazing; I need this recipe. OMG loving these pics and the sunflower butter; so delish.
xo
I’m a rainbow sprinkle kinda girl : )
Not a sprinkle person, but I do love powdered sugar.
I had a question about your training. Are you doing Long Beach? I know you did the full marathon last year. I did the half and liked the course. How would you describe the full course? I know there is a slight incline as you go up to CSULB but overall it’s pretty flat. Do you incorporate any hill training? Or include include hills in your long runs?
Exactly like you said – pretty flat except for the hill near CSULB. I am not incorporating any hill training on purpose. I have a slight hill near my house which I run because I hafta – but I wouldn’t seek it out if I wasn’t here. I don’t think you need to do hill training for this race. It helps the cause, but I hate it too much to make myself.
Thanks! I can’t really avoid hills especially during long runs. I live near neighborhoods with “hills” and “heights” in the names. I can run flatter routes, but the hills/heights areas are more runner friendly. I figure the extra hill training can’t hurt.
Chocolate…it makes the world go round!
I like chocolate sprinkles on the INSIDE of the cone (make the swirl with a large enough hole in the middle)…then you don’t just eat all the sprinkles and get stuck with the boring ice cream.
Ooooh! This sounds delicious!
I have a couple New Balance shirts that are too short and i always tug at. They drive me nuts!
chocolate sprinkles!!
Rainbow!! I also love the little balls that are colored. (Yes, that’s what she said.)
I prefer my balls one color, not multicolored…
wooow, fancy your things through About of (Workout) Project
I would have to say chocolate sprinkles. Over some mint chocolate chip ice cream. 😛
Mint chocolate is my favorite!
Very smart of you to adjust your workout plan. Good for you for litstening to your body!
chocolate sprinkles all the way! And I love bright work-out shirts so that yellow is right up my alley!!!
Rainbow of course! my favorite running top is actually Champion, as are ALL of my sports bras. I think they make the best sports bras for women with a little more up top! I’m a 34D and their 360 bra is my favorite!
i feel the same way about workout clothes, i hate when the shirts ride up and i have to keep pulling it down! Way to go Champion!!
I’m a rainbow sprinkles girl, all the way 🙂
Free clothes..niiiiice! And they look pretty great on you if I might add 😉
i hate sprinkles.
they probably hate you too.
A little of both?! Now that I think about it, rainbow sprinkles don’t usually have brown [or chocolate] mixed in- not part of the rainbow I guess 😛
Both!
Rainbow, for sure!! They don’t do much flavor wise, but are so fun! Presentation is everything, right!?
Yes – presentation totally makes it!
You look awesome girl! Ya I like yellow too. My first time here and I am really enjoying it great blog! 😀
I’m not a bit sprinkles fan because I can’t actually taste them, but if I had to choose, it would be chocolate. Chocolate makes everything better! 🙂
Just curious; how tall are you?
5″6
I prefer no sprinkles. Which I know, must mean I’m insane. But I never understood the appeal, it’s not like they even really taste like anything!
I love, love that shirt! Finding V-necks that aren’t cut ridiculously low is never easy. And I always have problems with shirt length. Either they are too short, or they are so ridiculously long. In fact, I find it funny that I have the too long problem most often when I have an abnormally long torso!
Love the new Champion clothes! 🙂
Way to be flexible..ps my sister said she loved you at HLS
Wait, which one was your sister?
Champion is my favorite brand for workout clothes. I love the top and hoodie.
Rainbow all the way! And great run! It’s worth it to do shorter runs on occasion- your body needs the rest!
I always buy longer length tanks and tops for running… I also can’t stand when you keep feeling as though you are pulling your shirt down… it’s very distracting!
Choco sprinkles all the way! I am from MA and growing up chocolate sprinkles were always called jimmies… which I have learned is really not an nice term to use for chocolate sprinkles…. I called them jimmies all the time growing up. Crazy!
Anyway… Whenever I order soft serve I always load up with choco sprinkles… like almost more sprinkles than ice cream. SO GOOD.
I just had this debate on Sunday with my froyo, so I got both. Now I can definitely say the rainbow sprinkles!! Love the champion gear, looks so cute!!
Totally not a sprinkles chick. I love me some mini chocolate chips instead. But chia seeds? Great substitute!
The hoodie looks really comfortable and I love the white piping. I agree about being cut long in the mid-section. I don’t want to look at my belly while I’m running and I’m sure no one else does either.
Aesthetically, rainbow. Taste-wise, chocolate always wins for me.
Love the yellow top!
Cute clothes!
I hate all sprinkles I feel they just get in the way of the good stuff ( pancakes and ice cream). 🙂
ahhhh sprinkles…
In the words of the little girl in the annoying taco shell commercials: “Por que no las dos?” hehe

Don’t even have to watch the link – love that commercial 🙂
Definitely rainbow sprinkles, they’re just so much more fun! Love the workout hoodie, and I live in my C9 v-necks from Target!
I think I wear those too!
Rainbow sprinkles, no question!
I love that workout hoodie…I have a really long torso so it looks like it would fit nicely. You look so cute!
I’m a rainbow sprinkles fan all the way. And despite what people claim they DO taste different! 🙂
Smart movie scaling back the run!
Chocolate all the way, and preferably chunks 🙂
Those Champion workout clothes are so cute! I love the hoodie. Does it have thumbholes? That’s my favorite part of workout hoodies! I prefer chocolate sprinkles, but sprinkles in general sort of freak me out. Happy Tuesday!
It doesn’t have thumbholes unfortunately.
