I’m jumping for joy about it being Friday – NOT about my run. I did 5.7 miles slow. My legs felt tired and I didn’t want to push it since I have a long run tomorrow.
I think I ate pumpkin pancakes for breakfast every day this week except one. Doing some quick math the recipe is under 500 calories with toppings! It’s so delicious and decadent it seems like much more
I also polished off the cherries because it was about that time…
I have to rush off for a noon appointment, so I’ll be back in a bit!
Question: Happy it’s Friday?!

Great job on the run!!
CJ says
I just recently found your blog and was reading some of your old posts and really enjoy your discussions of intuitive eating. I can relate so much to your feelings of guilt, being angry with my hunger, etc. It is awesome that you have worked so much to overcome these things and I truly think its inspiring! Not to mention you make some delicious looking pancakes! Cant wait to meet you at HLS!

runeatrepeat says
I think I’m doing 16 tomorrow, so I’m going to opt out. Enjoy your run though!!!
Alicia says
TGIF!!! 🙂
Frances says
I totally want your pumpkin pancakes! Is it the same as the pankcake link, just add a can of pumpkin??? It sounds like such a great post-run breakfast!
Kristen says
How do you get up to running 5+ miles? And how do you get so fast?! I’ve been running for four months now and my fastest mile is 12 minutes…your slow is probably faster than my fast. And those pancakes look gooooooood =]
Katie P says
Kristen I totally feel you. I I am huffing and puffing to maintain a 10:30 pace and I can’t fathom being able to maintain the pace that Monica does. But everyone has their own pace and we are all rockstars for getting out and trying our best (at least that is what I try to tell myself)
runeatrepeat says
I’ve been running for over 6 years! You are being way to hard on yourself. I’m not a natural at all 🙂

I actually don’t care that it’s Friday since I am kinda on vacation for a few weeks it doesn’t seem like a different day! I never thought I would think that!
Julia @ The Accidental Gap Year says
California cherries have been sooo good recently…glad I’m not the only one addicted to them 🙂
oh, and I don’t think I’ve been this happy it’s friday for a looongg time.
Ali says
That sounds like a perfect morning… Friday, 5 miles, and pancakes. What more could a girl ask for:)
Trainer Kjirsten says
SO happy it is Friday! This week seemed so slow!
Jolene (Homespun Heritage) says
I see braids….dare I ask if you’ve washed your hair yet? No worries…no smellavision or smellablogs so your secret is safe for now! Heehee!
runeatrepeat says
Busted!
Kinda.
I washed my hair after my run 🙂
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
I’d like to see someone say “no” to being happy it’s Friday! Counting down the minutes till 5…
Lisa @ Sunny Seed Stories says
Um, ALWAYS! It’s always good to have the weekend to relax and let your brain recharge.
Your pancakes look delish, btw!
