Peaches and Plants

I woke up this morning feeling great!

My legs were not sore at all, but my abs actually were…hmm… Maybe I should do more core work!?

This morning, I met Meghann and Kelly for a nice 7.0 mile run in the park. We originally planned to do 8.0 miles but once we were running, we decided that 7.0 was enough. It’s kind of nice to think that only about a month ago 7 miles felt so long, but today it felt like a break!

We kept an easy pace, and finished in about one hour and 10 minutes.

Before I left, I fueled up with a mini bagel with peanut butter and a large mug of water. No worries, I peed like four times before I left, and then again when I got to the park! ;)

Once I got back, I was really craving a warm peach. Weird craving, yes… but I think I discovered my new favorite breakfast besides Oatmeal!

Warmed peach with cinnamon, topped with a dollop or three of plain yogurt, Kashi granola bar, and blackberries! YUM!

I made my breakfast in layers…

1. Cut up a peach, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar, microwave for 30 seconds.

2. Add a large plop of plain yogurt (1/4 or so?)

3. Add a crunched up Kashi granola bar (or other granola works)

4. Top with berries, and enjoy!

The entire thing gets warm from the peach, and tastes like peach crisp or something. Try this for your own good!

After breakfast we met Jason’s mom at Home Depot for some plant shopping. Our patio is quite bare, and his mom bough plants for us as a housewarming gift! Thank you a bunch!! :D

It looks so much better now that we have a bit of privacy and color out there!

A mini sage for the table…

It looks great, and thankfully J’s mom knows about flowers and plants, because I DO NOT! She told us the basics… when to water, how much sunlight they need. All the important stuff!

Jason just made lunch… black bean, cheddar and green pepper quesadillas!

Looks pretty good! Can’t wait to dig in!

    Isn’t that great when you run a distance that you used to consider long and just say “I ONLY DID 7 miles”? :)
