Five Miles and Flapjack Friday

Breakfast

FacebookTweetPin
15 Jul

It’s Friday!!!IMG_6375 (800x600)

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. IMG_6374 (800x600)

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 SmileIMG_6377 (800x600)

I also polished off the cherries because it was about that time…IMG_6383 (800x600)

I have to rush off for a noon appointment, so I’ll be back in a bit!

Question: Happy it’s Friday?!

    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!

    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 =]

      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)

      I’ve been running for over 6 years! You are being way to hard on yourself. I’m not a natural at all 🙂

    Um, ALWAYS! It’s always good to have the weekend to relax and let your brain recharge.
