The running break I had to take forced me to focus a lot on nutrition, time management, and stress relief. This was a good thing. I have stepped it up in the food department and I’m learning that my body needs a much more substantial breakfast than I was eating. I also have already felt the benefit from heavier food items like eggs and (never thought I would say this!) the occasional piece of bacon!
My day started very early again (4:40 AM alarm ekkk!). I had to give myself enough time for my 7 mile run before getting to work by 8AM. When I left, it was actually still pretty dark out!
There is something about running before the sun comes up that just feels right. My leg doesn’t feel perfect, so I am running slower than my usual pace and I am trying to be very mindful of how I feel. So far, so good.
Work today was bittersweet. I had to say goodbye to my dear friend & coworker, who is moving on to bigger and better things 😉 I really hate change, in all aspects of my life, so this change is going to take a while to get used to.
This weekend my beautiful & seriously talented sister is coming for a ballroom dance competition and I can’t wait to watch her dance! Now, if only it was 5 PM on Friday already!
How is your week going?
What is your go-to breakfast?

My dietician friend always tells me that I need more protein in my bfast if I want to feel full for longer. Maybe you needed that too, and that’s why the eggs are working so well for you!
Yes, I think that is exactly right!
So impressive that you got out of bed at 4:40! I haven’t had such a positive mind set when I’ve run in morning darkness, usually I’m just really cranky! I’m glad it’s working for you though — such impressive resolve!
Hi! Thanks. I admit it is very hard sometimes to get out of bed at that hour but I just try to remember that I NEVER regret it & feel SO good going to work knowing that I have already done my work out. 🙂 Thanks for reading & hope you’re having a great weekend!
