It’s the weekend!!!! Holla!
This morning I ran 14 amazing miles. Part of my training includes cutting back my long runs every few weeks before I continue to progress. Last Friday I ran 18 miles and today I cut back to 14.
I’ve been trying to go all out on my shorter runs during the week and to pace myself and stay strong on the longer runs. Today was right on track- I ran a slower average per mile (about 10:50), but I finished strong!
I had a Zbar before I left and ate the half naner throughout my run. I’m experimenting with alternatives to pre-packaged things like Shot Bloks and this worked! It got pretty smushy and weird looking but it fueled me well 
Right after I stretched and iced I had a bowl of oats that looked just like the one above. How many photos of oats can a girl really take? 
For lunch I baked butternut squash, asparagus and garbanzo beans. I baked the squash for an hour and toward the end added the asparagus and beans with pepper and a touch of teryaki sauce. Tasty and filling!
After lunch I had some maqui superberry juice mixed with TAZO passion tea. I’ll review it soon!
Tomorrow is Halloween!!! What are you going to be?!

Great job on 14! I was in costume ALL DAY for classes and no one else was. What was with that? I thought this was a fun campus

I have to admit, your bagged naner made me blush.
I totally didn't know what that banana was when I first saw the picture. lol
I know what you mean about taking pictures of oats. It gets kind of repetitive.
