2.5 miles

So I got up this morning and the day looked like this . . .
Gray and dark and kind of rainy. Not so good when you are trying to get out of bed. But not a bad day for a run.

But before my run I had to eat breakfast. I woke up starving, which is wierd because dinner last night was at 9pm, you think I wouldn't be that hungry.

Per usual I had coffee but I added a glass of water as well, I just needed it.

And some delicious oats, Kath Style.
In the Pot:
2/3 cup almond milk
2/3 cup water
1 banana
teaspoon Chia seeds
2/3 cup oats
Sprinkle of cinnamon

On top:
Almond butter

After I was done with breakfast I sadly remembered we had fruit in the fridge, maybe tomorrow it will make an appearance.

After blogging and reading and eating it was time for a nice cool run.


The middle row is the temp "CH'' is outside "IN" is inside. Notice the frowny face next to the outside temp, even my fancy weather station isn't happy with this kind of weather in August.

I don't really mind it made for nice running weather. I also had an anchor a running partner today.
It was Tega! My puppy dog, he is kind of lazy though. After about a mile he starts to drag which does make my run harder but he needs exercise too.


Okay so that is really small here is what it says, or the important parts any way
Total: 2.5 miles in 25:49
Mile 1: 9:59
Mile 2: 10:09
2-2.5: 5:39

I want to go faster but I did run the whole thing so that's pretty good.

Nom Nom Nom

Hello!
So Saturday night the Husband and I went to a rock show to see the Thrift Syndicate play a reunion show. It was fun but I stayed up waaaay past my bed time and because of that I also got up way later than I had wanted to.

When I rolled out of bed at 8:30 coffee was a must!

Along with a bowl of oatmeal.
The way I make oatmeal is not the instant kind, its made on the stove.

To the pot I add:
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup Almond milk (or whatever milk I have in the house, lately it's been almond milk)
1/2 a banana
1/3 cup of oats
some chia seeds
a sprinkle of cinnamon at the end.

And then on top I added . . .
Dark Chocolate Almond Spread. Soooo Good, I am almost out of this which means I need to find more.

While I made and quickly ate my breakfast I made a lunch to bring to work.
Salad with lettuce, spinach, corn, cucumbers, orange pepper, olives and dried cranberries.
It was good but I always feel like salad is missing something and can never quite figure out what it is. :-/

And on the side I brought some left over squash and eggplant from the make your own pizza the night before.

The Husband got ingredients for dinner while I was at work.Corn from his parents (it was really good, I love corn in the summer time)
Some Salmon from the grocery store (baked in the oven for 15 mins (should have been less it was a little dry) with salt, pepper, olive oil and red peppers)
Garlic bread also from Stop and Shop.

And to drink with dinner . . .
A nice small glass of red wine. It was left over from the night before, that is all that was left in the bottom. It was just enough.

Now I am off to start my day, I have a run planned, maybe some cleaning and I have to go to work at 2.

Ciao!
