I Somehow Managed

Breakfast

FacebookTweetPin
8 Jan

I somehow managed to burn my toast so bad I had to throw out one of the pieces and make a new one. I ate the less burnt guy though. I like burnt toast, but this was like charcoal.

I somehow managed to run 16 miles today. It was not easy. I can’t even remember the last time I ran anything over 10. And my body made it clear that it wasn’t used to this kind of mileage right now.

I ended walking the hills for the last 5 or so which threw off my time. 16 miles, average pace 9:22.

I somehow managed to scream, “Oh No!!!” when I saw a dead little bunny on my run. I might have scared my fellow run/walkers, but it made me sad. 

As soon as I got home I had half an apple. I think I was super thirsty more than anything because all I wanted was fruit and water.

After a quick shower I made a BIG smoothie in a bowl.

I somehow managed to put every topping I could find on my smoothie = cereal, chopped protein bar, PB, almond slivers, a ham sandwich, sea salt… Okay, not those last 2 things, but the rest of them were piled high.

And finally, I somehow managed to still be hungry after eating all of this! I think I am still thirsty though, so we’ll see. IMG_6102

Have a good day!

    I always have to chew something after having a smoothie otherwise I don’t feel satisfied, but with toppings, who knows?

    Great job on the run!

    Way to go on the run! That’s awesome. I’ve just gotten back into running and if the weather where you are is anything like it is in DC (sunny and beautiful) I bet the run was fantastic!

    And I LOVE smoothies in a bowl, they’re so satisfying.

    I could kill for those times! lol I always feel that way after long runs until I’ve had about 3 glasses of water, and sometimes a mixture of water and powerade. :/ I have yet to try the smoothie in a bowl though, that looks delicious!

    Good for you on 16 miles, that is amazing! I was so exhausted today I haven’t done any exercise yet. I should probably try to do some yoga…

    I’m curious about your IT Band. I remember last year you had an issue and took off 6 weeks. Do you ever have pain still? How is it healing?

    Dang, Girl! Way to push through and put 16 miles in the books! Yeah, you’ll definitely be ready for the race next month. Also, smoothie bowl = good. Burnt toast = bad.

    I think that’s a fantastic time… even if you did walk hills. Sixteen miles is a long journey! The most I’ve ever done at one time is 10 miles.

    You put protein bar pieces in there! I bet that was weirdly delicious! That’s also a super cool bowl/mug.
