Hello! How’s it going? I’m on week 2 of marathon training! Except I don’t really know what race I’m trying for. I’ll get on that soon.
This morning I did a speed run of 1 mile warm up, 4 x 800s at about 7 effort and 1 mile cool down.
I saw my little baby duck friends this morning too! I love them so much 
There are actually a few lil duck families in the river bed and these babies are super tiny. The ones from a few weeks ago are already getting so big!
Post run I made a delicious smoothie with: ice, blueberries, vanilla protein powder, hemp seeds and watermelon water. (I blend the hemp seeds right in it, but you can also use it as a topping.)
But that was way too healthy so I had some of my PB M&M Cookies too.
They’re kind of like my Oatmeal Breakfast Cookie, right?
Yyyeah. Keep telling yourself that Monican.
Maybe I’ll make a smoothie for dinner too…
Gross!
Thank you for sharing those great tips. I am looking forward for more!

Cookies for breakfast, as well as chocolate can be a regular thing for me. I guess we shouldn’t have to wait until a certain time of day to eat them, right?
I’m a big fan of the breakfast cookie with a little fruit and Greek yogurt on the side! My go-to lately has been fruit, Greek yogurt, chopped almonds and 1/2 cup Fiber One…it’s been fueling my summer runs pretty well!
Have you been to Whole Foods lately and tried their Watermelon juice?? I cant post a pic here. I will post one to your fb. Sooo yummy and refreshing!
The Watermelon Water people just sent me a case – is it the same thing?
Breakfast for me this morning was greek yogurt, granola, strawberries, and a small handful of chocolate chips. Have definitely had cookies for breakfast-that was one of the perks of staying with one set of grandparents-chips ahoy for breakfast! YUM!
I had no idea you could make watermelon water! That’s pretty cool…
I had a delish breakfast sandwich but since my nights and days are flipped it was hard to remember what to eat! Lol
I had a delish
I had a starbucks gouda and bacon breakfast sandwich, it is my fav
Yes! Oatmeal raisin cookies. Today I was good and had All Bran Cereal with banana.
Belvita biscuits for breakfast, because they avoid me “accidentally” polishing off a 600 kcal bowl of delicious cereal.
I woke at 2am absolutely starving this morning, and had to have some toast. I think an 11 mile run yesterday evening, followed by a very low carb dinner left me a little depleted. So yeah, maybe that was breakfast.
Oh, and a huge coffee which I am drinking now. Always.
Today’s breakfast (it’s actually the same for workdays) – crackers with PB. Cookies for brekkie – that’s my indulgence on weekends.
I’ve definitely had cookies for breakfast! Haha.
Today started out good — I had some nonfat peach yogurt. But then I had a cinnamon bun and a latte. Should have stopped while I was ahead… Still delicious though!
I’m definitely going to have to try that smoothie recipe! I keep seeing hemp seeds everywhere. Do you notice a difference when you eat them? Or did you just Google them like me and see that they’re healthy, lol.
I love a smoothie after a good run! Breakfast was some eggs, berries and pb with banana 😉
I had an egg and cheese wrap for breakfast. And yeah….cookies for breakfast is quite common in my life. =)
I definitely have had cookies for breakfast – but today was a yogurt parfait with lots of cereal!
I would love to hear what you do for marathon training, even if it’s just a vague outline of a plan. I’m training for my first but have done a few half marathons and longer distances so I don’t know quite where to start in most plans or how to work through my own!
it’s nice to hear more details about your training-hope you plan on sharing more about running/workouts. i’m always curious to hear what other people are doing to get faster.
around the holidays cookies end up being breakfast. i should eat them in the morning more often.
I had homemade almond butter on cinnamon raisin bread bc I was going to work out right after I woke up. Then I came home and had a giant blueberry basil protein smoothie. If you had asked me about my food yesterday that would have been a completely different story…
Do you have your own almond butter recipe, or did you find it online / in a book? I’m interested!
