Before we get to today’s meals, I need to ask you all for your opinion:
Yesterday I received this exciting email:
6th ANNUAL LAST 10 MILE RUN
The body will feel what the mind has seen!
Run the last 10 miles of the NYC Marathon course, two weeks before the actual race.
Date: Saturday, October 23rd
Time: 8:00am (check-in from 7:00am to 7:45am)
Start Location: On East 60th Street at 1st Avenue
Finish Location: In Central Park at the NYC Marathon finish line at W67th Street in front of (the former) Tavern on the Green restaurant
Support: Pace Groups, Bag Transport (from start to finish), Maps, Water & Bagels (at the finish), plus Coaching to answer all of your marathon questions… WOW!
This seemed like the perfect end to my marathon training. This Saturday, I’m completing my last 2nd 20 miler before my taper begins. I was immediately excited for the prospect of running 10 miles on my own from 6:20-8am before meeting this group at the above start location to complete the last time miles. The opportunity to run the last 10 miles of the NYC Marathon 2 weeks before the marathon is so exciting! But, when I clicked register, I saw that the sponsor, The Running Center is charging $35 for the event. That $35 pays for the bagels, pacers, water, and bag transport. It doesn’t exactly seem like a good deal. Is it worth the $35 to run the last 10 miles of the race in advance?
Thanks for your input! Ready for today’s meals? ;) Let me know if you like seeing my meals? I’ve made it a goal lately to capture more food pictures for you guys but want to make sure you all like what you’re reading.
Today was a jam packed Wednesday. I have no words for the number of “fire drills” we had today. Lately, Wednesday has been the busiest day at work. What’s your busiest day?
Luckily, breakfast and lunch were no brainers. 🙂
Pumpkin Oatmeal and Chai Tea enjoyed desk side during conference call #1.
My mid day energy came from all the greens enjoyed during lunch. Today’s salad was 2x bigger than yesterday thanks to extra baby spinach and mixed greens! What is your favorite salad base? I love baby spinach as long as it’s paired with fruit and balsamic. Weird, I know!
By the time I walked through the door tonight, I knew our planned dinner wasn’t going to become a reality. We had a grand plan of making breakfast for dinner, including poached eggs, fruit salad, and turkey sausage. Instead, I still satiated my “breakfast for dinner” cravings with an easier, faster version!
Last month when we visited Zach and Brianne in Portland, she whipped up a delicious egg burrito. Ever since then I’ve had a craving to recreate it at home. Tonight was the perfect night. I had a fresh batch of Eggland’s Best eggs, Flatout wraps, Green Mountain Salsa, hummus and Garlic gold! It was exactly the wrap I’d dreamt of all this time!
Flat Out Egg Wrap
Wisk 3 egg whites and 1 yolk, garlic gold, pepper, and salsa in a bowl.
Cover bowl with paper towel and microwave for 2 minutes.
Spread 1 Tbsp hummus on flat out wrap while egg cooks.
Transfer egg mixture onto wrap, sprinkle with cheese, and then wrap and enjoy!
The salsa added the perfect amount of spice to the eggs while the garlic hummus provided an unexpected dimension.
