Run Eat Repeat

Just Right Run

31 Mar

Once upon a time there was a strange little girl who woke up and wanted to run. She set out not sure of how many miles she would do…

Took this pic because my eye hurts

First she ran into Ben, he was doing 2 miles. This wasn’t enough so she decided to keep running.

Then, she ran into SkinnyRunner (who lives closer than she realized!). SR was doing 9 miles. That was a little too much for her chubby little red-headed legs.

She decided to do 6 miles. It felt juuuuuusssssst right.

When she got home she pulled out the overnight oats she had “cooking” in the fridge.IMG_0928 (800x533)

Last night she mixed – oats, kefir, pumpkin, stevia and pumpkin pie spice.kefirpumpkin overnight oats

But eating it straight up like that isn’t very good, so this morning she added: chia seeds, cereals, granola, banana, PB and almond milk.

It was just right! Well, it was just right after she added 2 cups of iced coffee…ice ice coffee

This Saturday Sigma Omega Nu from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is holding a 5K run/walk to benefit a Women’s Shelter in the area. If you are close enough to come out and support, please do! You can find more information here.WalkAwayIPV

Have a great day!

      What a fun bowl! I can’t imagine running 6 miles, but that’s probably because I can’t imagine running 1 mile 😉

      LOVE those yummy bowls of loaded up overnight oats….I eat them everyday, literally! I load the chia, flax, cocoa, homemade granola, some PB2 or Adam’s All natural PB, stevia and then a splash of unsweetened almond milk. I actually get excited about finishing a workout just so I can eat them! After seeing yours, I think I may need to give some pumpkin a flashy premier!

      Funny, I haven’t seen or heard anything about this race! Too bad I’m not running or even walking, or I’d so do it!

      You always have the yummiest looking oatmeal combinations! I might just have to try this!

      Six miles is one too many miles to feel ‘just right’ for me. When I set out not knowing how many miles are going to do, I usually stick to five- there’s something about six that just seems a lot longer!!

      I always need to add topping when I make overnight oats too!

      Do you eat anything before your runs in the morning?

        It depends on if I stall my run or not (which is happening more and more lately).

        If I wake up and go then I’ll wait. But, if I stall then I eat a few handfuls of cereal or a piece of toast with PB.

        Hope that helps 🙂

      So, how long does it take until 6mi feels ‘just right’? I did a 10k last weekend and it was near to my limit (for now). But I do remember looking at 5 miles as something huge, and almost impossible to reach. That was a very satisfying milestone (pun intended) to reach.
      I’m reaching for ten miles now. Perhaps the inspiration of all these delicious foods will spur me onwards? The further I run, the more I can eat, right?

        Six miles always feels “just right” for me. I actually started running at that distance because I didn’t know any better 🙂 I’m really lucky that my body likes to run that distance and it’s no big thing and never really has been.

      What does Kefir taste like? Do you eat it a lot?

        Kefir comes in different flavors just like yogurt. This one is plain and is tart (like plain yogurt). I used to buy it every now and then in the past and decided to try it again this weekend 🙂
