…is the best feeling ever!!!
I got my run in this morning! I completely zoned in and rocked out to my music…and the time flew by. I guess the little break I took from running over the last few days really helped my body recover properly because my legs felt light and full of energy the entire time!! I didn’t want to stop! This run made me feel much more relaxed and confident about my race this Saturday.
Before my run, I had this lovely:
A Fitnessista B-fast cookie!
This mixture included:
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 scoop all natural protein powder
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice
- 1/8-1/4 cup skim milk
mix together and then top with:
- 1 tbsp natural almond butter
- 1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
After my run, I decided to to update my playlist on my Ipod for my race. Thanks to Jenn, I had some pretty good songs to put on there! Check out her blog for her new playlist!
Then came lunch: a sandwich made with 1 whole wheat hamburger bun, turkey, swiss cheese, and turkey pepperoni.
and a Green Monster shake!
This is what I added into my Magic Bullet:
- 2 huge handfuls of fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup soy milk
- a few pieces of frozen strawberries and bananas
- 1 tbsp flax
After lunch, I worked on some homework and then got ready to go to work. But before I left, I had some snacks. Running makes me hungry!
1/2 banana with chunky Barney Butter
Stonyfield’s plain yogurt with 1 crumbled homemade granola bar. I will have to post my granola bar recipe sometime..I love it!
Dinner:
Another colorful plate filled with fruits and veggies, a lean hamburger, and some trail mix.
Dessert:
DARK CHOCOLATE!!!!
And now I am going to go relax with the family and watch The Office.
Have a wonderful night, all! :D
I need to try cocoa powder in a bfast cookie...yum!! Have a relaxing night :)

Great job on your run today girl! I always feel like I can run so much better after taking a rest day or two. They say that taking rest days is really important in running.
ReplyDeleteI just love the office, I missed the episode last night, but Im about to watch it online RIGHT NOW! :)
Hope your weekend is going great so far!
Wow, it's a small bloggie world eh? My husband is doing the 2-mile too. So are you a Wichitan, or coming in for the race? GOOD LUCK by the way, it's addictive this racing thing, you'll love it! And you will do great.
ReplyDeleteOh okay, gotcha. I haven't done this race before. BUT, it is at the park where I run almost every weekend. It will be an easy peasy course. Just flat concrete or pavement sidewalks. I will be there early to run 6 miles before the actual 10K (have a marathon in a few weeks) but if you see us, come say hi! The other girl doing the 10K with me and I will be the giggly chatty ones in skirts ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat Eats!! That b-fast cookie looks amazing. Hope you enjoyed it :)
