Run Eat Repeat

I read that Oprah is doing a 21-Day Cleanse in which she is eliminating caffeine, sugar, alcohol, gluten and animal products from her diet. She decided to do this after reading Quantum Wellness by Kathy Freston. The author suggests doing this to become a more conscious eater. So, I figured if Oprah can do it, so can I. I read…

I am back in business, sort of. I got 4 hours of sleep last night. I only ran 4 miles today, because I figure you shouldn’t run more miles than the hours you’ve slept the night before if you didn’t get a full 8. New rule. I had a couple of handfuls of Kashi Good Friends while making oat bran….

Sorry everyone. I am trying to post, but the computer/internet/tiny people in my laptop are not letting me add pics. Give me a minute to figure this out.

Recently, I commented on Roni’s blog when she was looking for new breakfast ideas.
