Long runs, beaches, and chocolate zucchini cupcakes
Things I like to do on my day off: lay on the beach, go for an 8 mile run, and bake chocolate zucchini cupcakes. Not in that order. 😀 This morning I woke up and knew I had to do my long run today, because there was no way I was running that much on the Fourth of July. I have too many plans and a four mile race that morning! I fueled with some peanut butter toast and honey, with some chia seeds sprinkled on top, and a cup of green tea. And I was ready to go. Miles 1 – 4 on treadmill in 44:45. Felt great. Mile…

Killer Crane
I swear, I could eat the whole batch of superfood cookies that I made yesterday, they are so chewy and delicious! Ahem…anyway. I hope everyone is doing well on this Tuesday evening. Last night after participating in a tweet up for foodbuzz, I was motivated to make a breakfast cookie to have for breakfast this morning. I also wanted to try my new protein powder. Here’s the cookie! I threw in… 3/4 cup of oats 1/2 mashed banana 2 tbsp of unsweetened almond breeze 1 tbsp of almond butter 1 tsp of chocolate rice protein powder 1 sprinkle of dark chocolate chips It was bit too wet, probably because I…

Bash Bish Falls
Yesterday after my 8 mile run, I came home and my sister told me she wanted to go hiking. I was totally up for it, since I love the outdoors and I need more hiking trips in my life. She did some research and wanted to check out Bash Bish Falls in Mount Washington, Massachusetts. The hike to the falls is only a half mile out and back, so a one mile easy hike seemed totally doable, even after using up most of my energy during my earlier run. It only took about an hour to get there. It is interesting because the hike starts out in Copake Falls in…

The Six Mile Run That Wasn't
Morning everyone. It’s finally Thursday! Hurray! I was not in the mood to blog last night so I will update you all this morning on what has been going on! Yesterday I had oats for breakfast, but I was too lazy to take a picture of them. I think I mixed in a mashed banana and some oat bran with some dark chocolate dreams peanut butter. It is such a tasty combo! Yum Anyway, at work for snack I tried yet another kind of greek yogurt. Stonyfield Organic Oikos 0% fat! Opinion: not better than Chobani. Pros: only 90 calories a cup; cons: smaller serving size. It was okay, since there was…

Tuesday Eats
Hola! Its time for today’s food post! I’m going to try to make it short and sweet! This morning for breakfast I decided to get a little creative! I microwaved a scrambled egg and put it in a high fiber 80 calorie tortilla with a sprinkle of shredded cheese and some peach mango salsa to make a delicious breakfast wrap. It was so good! It was quick and easy, just how I like it! Lunch wasn’t too interesting…I actually forgot to take pictures. Although I did have a Brown Cow yogurt for morning snack. The more I think about it, the more I actually like Chobani the best. Brown Cow…
