This morning I did my first run around my new neighborhood. (I actually ran here a few times before we moved to Maryland, but that’s another story for another day.)
I am convinced that the route I took this morning is all uphill on the way out! Luckily that means its downhill on the way back. I can’t complain, but those first 3 miles of uphill were brutal!
Mile 1: 9:11
Mile 2: 9:06
Mile 3: 9:28
Mile 4: 8:27 (Yeah for down hill at the turn around!)
Mile 5: 8:30
Mile 6: 8:56
Post run I came home to the power being off so I couldn’t use the microwave to make my planned Vitatop Parfait. Instead I made a beautiful yogurt bowl. 
The power was back on shortly after so I think fate was telling me to eat this delicious meal 🙂 I also added some Barney Butter post photo shoot because if I don’t have nut butter for breakfast my tummy gets angry.
I have convinced my Nino and Nina to come help me with the floors, so I gotta go!
Make it a great day!
Question: What would you eat if there was no power to cook dinner tonight?
Me: Take out.
Ha.
But, if I had to eat something here it would probably be cheese and crackers and fruit.
That is definitely tough. Probably a huge salad with a billion veggies, beans and sunflower seeds. Most of my meals, even in the summer, involve some sort of cooking!
PB & J… and bring it out to the nearest coffee joint for some coffee and wifi.
Cold oatmeal – I’d call it museli to give it a little oomph, but really it’s just cold oatmeal. I love it though!
I would probably eat a salad of some sort! Or a sandwich. 🙂
Peanut butter sandwiches and dry cereal? If there was no power to cook dinner tonight it would probably be a sad affair. I’d choose take out over any of the stuff in my cabinets though.
yay for first runs in a new ‘hood. i’m in the process of exploring my new area too. soooo exciting! 🙂
I’d say screw the oven, and make it a date night with the hubby and go for Thai food at a nearby Thai place.
That looks delicious…love blueberries. Hey, what happened to the red hair? I’m a fellow redhead and LOVE it! 🙂
Great run! Those hills make for some pretty sweet negative splits. I have the opposite problem..downhill out, uphill back.
I’d end up eating a dinner salad if I was without power…or a pizza?!
If I had no power I would have a cold taco-style salad with black beans and salsa.
I would run to the freezer and “save” the ice cream!
Great run! I am convinced one of my 6 mile routes is the same way: uphill out and down hill back. But its better than the opposite! And no microwave equals pb&j. 🙂
I would normally say hummus – but I had that for lunch.
So either a big salad with black beans, goat cheese and veggies or a bagel with goat cheese and mators.
If I couldn’t open my fridge, I’d probably eat pb and honey. But take out sounds like pretty good option, too.
We have a gas stove and a gas grill – so there is not really an excuse for not cooking 🙂 but tuna salad sandwiches are always a good standby!
Salads and leftovers are my excuse for not wanting to cook. I just had leftover eggplant, hummus, and baked beans all over spinach and cold. Hit the spot.
I need to ask what a nino and nina are
My Godparents are my “Nino” and “Nina” – I think it’s a Catholic/Mexican thing 🙂
Oh man that is a tough one. Probably black beans, corn and tomatoes mixed together with some crackers. And cheese if i was allowed to open my fridge.
Trader Joe’s hummus is a good suggestion! Or salad. I love eating salad!
Trader Joe’s hummus! 🙂 And I love that their cheese is a lot cheaper than other places. Maybe a quinoa salad. You don’t have to actually COOK quinoa. If you pull up a package of quinoa from Costco, they just ask you to add cold water. 🙂
