The healthy versions tonight. I’m trying to eat all my favorite foods before I jet off to Sydney, and these two are definitely near the top of the list. First up is homemade pizza! I loooove this recipe. I’ve made it several times perfectly, and tonight was no exception. Note that the dough takes a [...]

Breakfast for Lunch & A Race Announcement
Posted: June 24, 2010 in Food, RunsTags: almond butter, apples, banana, corn, green beans, pancakes, sandwich thin
I actually ate this meal for lunch today, but since my breakfast was pretty boring and I think this is more breakfast-like, I’ll share this one today. One of my favorite combos is apples and almond butter on toast, but today I also wanted to use up half a banana that was in my fridge. [...]
Back on the Bandwagon

While I just said on Monday that I wasn’t really feeling hot oats anymore, of course that’s what I wanted this morning. But who wouldn’t want this? I made classic stovetop oatmeal: 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup milk, and ~1/2-2/3 cup water. I added half a banana, sliced, and cooked over medium heat for about [...]
Pancake Tuesday

Is there a better way to start off a weekday than with pancakes? Yeah, didn’t think so. Most people think of pancakes as a weekend breakfast, but these are so easy to whip up you can have some any day of the week. I mashed half a banana in a bowl (I actually used a [...]
Perfect Summer Breakfast

This here is the perfect summer breakfast. Now, I love oatmeal just as much as the next girl. (Actually, that’s a lie. I love oatmeal way more than the next girl, unless I’m sitting next to my BFF Melissa. We compete for the title of top oatmeal lover.) But here in June in Texas, when [...]
Saturday morning (wow, more than two days ago!) I set my latest personal distance record of 12 miles. I have run ten miles twice before, but this was my first dirty dozen and also the longest I will run before Nike Women’s, which is in fewer than three weeks!! I tried to make this run [...]

It’s taking a little while to get settled, but I think I’m just about there. One of my biggest things is figuring out when I’m going to fit in exercise: between classes, socializing, studying, sleeping, and eating I don’t have a whole lot of time, but I want to find regular weekly blocks for running, [...]
Whew

I made it! All moved back into my dorm room no worse for wear. But as usual, I’m starting the day from the beginning. Move-in day started with an early wake-up call for my Team in Training run. My running buddy and I had a “we really are runners” moment this morning. We were standing [...]
Need Your Opinions

Morning! My meals have been a little short on creativity since our kitchen supplies are running low thanks to traveling. But I did get to use a swag bag item: With my breakfast this morning! 1/3 cup oats with water, milk, one whole banana, flax, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Look at all that [...]
