I feel like I’ve been planning this post all week! I meant to write since Thursday but busy night have led me to not. Stretching, foam rolling, and making lunch (plus breakfast and snack) take a long time each night! This week has been alright- After posting my planned schedule on Monday, my planned day off, I was all set for the rest of the week. Well, I ended up taking Wednesday off which ended up being a really bad and tough day…my eating disorder won BIG time. But anyways, that meant I had some training to make up!
- Thursday: 44 mile bike (18.8 mph), 11.5 mile run at 7:10 pace, 900m swim (900m?? Yeah I know, but I only had 20 minutes before the pool closed
- Friday: 7.5 mile run, 50 minute spin workout, 20 min elliptical intervals, quick lift
- Saturday: Hardest run ever…legs were realllll tired- 4.5 miles, then 2x 1.5 miles with elliptical intervals between
- Sunday (today): 72 mile bike, 6 mile run
If I thought my legs hurt Saturday, that just made them even more tired today. And I hate the wind here… I’m still losing- Chuck: 2, Wind: 5. I overslept so I missed riding with my buddy, but went out a little later on my own. It was grueling, but I got it done. Hopefully I’ll be stronger from it But I bailed on my swim and on yoga….both of which I need. So I must get in the pool this week! If you guys can make sure I do that, that would be great haha
So I have a ton of food pics from this week. I lied, and you guys were right- WHEN THEY ARE PERFECT, avocados are delicious! But only when they are perfectly ripe, and heated to that they are creamy. The creaminess is sooo clutch, but if they are under-ripe, then they are just gross. Here is the best meal I had, which I made Thursday night and tonight. BBQ wraps using that bbq meat I made, cheddar cheese, and a quarter avocado- awesome!
bbq meat, avocado, cheddat
Melted! So the avocado got extra creamy
Friday night, I wanted to save some the bbq meat, so I decided on an omelet. This time, I actually made it like you are supposed to instead of trying to do my “open-face” omelet. Again, I added a half of the avocado with some light cheese. Whole eggs and avocado…daammmmnnnn thats healthy!
Getting ready
With steamed vegetables and plain baked potato
Love that butternut squash too.
I was talking to Matt (www.Kitchenofarunner.com) and we were discussing oatmeal, and he insisted that I make and taking pics of a new recipe I had been thinking about. This was plain oatmeal cooked in almond milk with cinnamon
Before cooking
Then I cooked it together and added in the protein powder. I added the peanut butter after the picture
Extra smooth
Overall, a really good breakfast!
I still have a lot more pictures and a new recipe, plus a bunch of goodies from sponsors to show you! So check back tomorrow!
- What are some ways you use avocados? Besides in salads or guacamole; I mean unique ways…could I mash it into a baked potato, for example?
- What are some weird/random things that weird you out? (not eating disorder related please). Me: I hate the seeds in tomatoes and the very very tips of bananas sketch me out haha
- Anyone got a swim workout for me?
Night yall!
I agree, avocados have to be just right for them to taste awesome! I’ve had avocados on burgers and pizzas! So yummy!!
The “snot” in steamed okra completely weirds me out!! I am not a picky eater… I’ll eat almost anything, but NOT snotty okra, blech!!!!!
I LOVE mashing an avocado on whole wheat bread. It’s SO filling and healthy! Things that gross me out: the smell of mushrooms, RAW EGGS, and cooked spinach. Gag me.
Hope you’ve had a great start to your week!

hey, I just got home from the store and I have avocado’s in my bag!! love ‘em. They are the one food I never get tired of eating.
today I made a salad with tuna, sliced avocado, and spinach. I always love throwing in some slices with my morning eggs too.
things that weird me out: staircases. I always have to sprint up them so I don’t get caught by the boogeyman
The texture of beef jerkey wierds me out. Reminds me too much of my hair brushes full of hair.
Can’t wait for your upcoming race. You’re gonna kill it
Hi. I am Sana aka weird food person. I have soo many food issues. Basically I don’t eat anything from a kitchen that can relocate. This means no street vendors, no ice cream truck nada.
And I don’t know how to swim soooo I can’t help you there!
Avocados are used in some vegan cupcakes?
I think avocados make excellent desserts! blended with cocoa powder and honey and you got chocolate pudding, or replace the butter in a cookie recipe. Works great!
Cheese always weirded me out, I dunno I guess the fact that its stinky and moldy, its weird since everyone I know loves cheese, but I only like cottage cheese, which isnt really a cheese. Cotton too! I hate cotton balls, especially the kind the dentist puts in your mouth!
