Sometimes I don’t pack my lunch the night before which sets me up for failure to run late the next morning. Luckily, I packed my lunch and my dinner last night so I didn’t have to worry about it.
However, by 10 am, I was starving. Morning runs make me super hungry before lunch time. So, I grabbed a slice of soda bread that I had packed for lunch. I drizzled a little honey on it from a tiny honey pot that sits on my desk. Doesn’t everyone keep honey at their desk? 😉
That merely quieted the audible growls coming from my tummy, so by 11:30 I dug into lunch.
I had planned to eat this spaghetti squash, tomato sauce, Italian cheese blend, and tempeh for dinner, but it just sounded so good I ate it for lunch. I was craving something warm because my office is so cold. On the side I had mixed greens with avocado and a dijon maple vinaigrette. I also had the tiniest little mountain apple.
See that finger shaped hole in the middle of my faux spaghetti? That’s where I tested the heat and then decided to stick it back in the microwave. I don’t appreciate luke warm spaghetti quash.
Sometime in mid afternoon, I realized that I had not packed enough food for dinner. The closest restaurant besides fast food is about 20 minutes away and I did not have time for an almost hour long venture to get food. I hit up the local grocery store to supplement the food I packed.
I picked up a blueberry Chobani and a box of instant Extra Fiber Quaker Oats in maple and brown sugar. I also had a little cold pink bean salad and two clementines.
This was actually my first time trying Chobani. I’m more of a plain yogurt kinda girl, but the grocery only had blueberry and strawberry. It was pretty good but even better mixed into the oatmeal. It was as good as dessert. I’m so glad I had a decent dinner. I may have a long meeting to get through.
Crossing my fingers I’m home at a decent hour. I am seriously sore from yoga in my arms. Tomorrow might be a no exercise kinda day. Hopefully tonight will be an 8 hour sleep kinda ight.
But for now, I leave you with my revised marathon training plan, as promised.
