I know it’s only Thursday, but I am already excited for Sunday. While I was at work yesterday I received a special e-mail from my dad:
“Hot Feet run in the morning, then cold brews in the afternoon.”
YES PLEASE! I was having a crazy day so his message was really appreciated. I spent much of yesterday driving to appointments, running around at work and making phone calls. Did I mention that it all started with an 8am fender bender? It was nothing serious. I was rear-ended at a traffic light and my bumper has a few scratches. I’ve never had to deal with something like this before and spent a good amount of time on the phone with a lady from my insurance company. Despite the craziness, all was not lost. I think I found an apartment with a real kitchen 
. Is it weird that I already have a list of goodies I want to make? At the end of August my blog will become a LOT more interesting. I can’t wait!
I went for a run this morning to prepare for my Sunday. I am planning to run about 10-miles so preparations are necessary. I fueled with a Super-Charge-Me Cookie and ran a light 3-miles. I have been playing around with a few “pre-run” foods and think I am going to wake up early and have peanut butter and banana toast before my long run. The best fuel for me seems to be some combination of banana and peanut butter.
When I got back I made a Green Monster Smoothie in a Bowl. I love cooling down with a refreshing breakfast. And this one had Dark Chocolate Dreams!
Blender: 1 frozen banana, 1 cup vanilla soy milk, 1 scoop Dark Chocolate Dreams PB, 1 Scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder, 2 handfuls of spinach, cinnamon, ice.
Toppings: Vanilla Granola, Coconut Butter, Handful of Blueberries (at the bottom of my bowl haha).
Lunch today is another “whatever-isn’t-spoiled-in-my-fridge” production.
Salad: Spinach, Cucumber, Tomato, Radish, Olive Oil/Balsamic
Sandwich: Thick slice of 8-grain 3- seed bread, sunflower seed butter, Crofter’s Europe Superfruit Spread.
I actually was really satisfied with lunch yesterday. I had a small snack later in the afternoon but it held me over quite nicely. The 8-grain 3-seed bread is really dense and hearty. A thick slice with nut-butter filled me right up! Amazing and delicious.
Planning a little treat for dinner tonight, can’t wait!!
Weekend Plotting,

Do you make weekend plans during the week?
I’m glad everything is ok with your little fender bender! I had something similar happen to me a few years ago and it seriously shocked me and caused me to get so stressed out!
Sunday sounds like it’s going to be a great day!
Dads are the best, aren’t they? Yours sounds awesome! I used to run with my dad all the time until I moved away from home. Have a good Sunday
I tend to make plans early just because it gives me something to look forward to during a hectic week.
I hope that you have an amazing run on Sunday, which I’m sure you will! And it is so sweet that your dad sends you encouraging emails…my dad is still computer illiterate. Sorry to hear about your car issue (always frustrating no matter how small the problem is)
I can’t wait for the weekend too! My parents are coming and stocking me up on food
I like the weekends also!
I’m looking forward to Sunday too. Especially the afternoon.
