8 Miles and Double Pumpkin

Posted Aug 16 2011 12:10pm

Happy Tuesday from Monica and Vegas! IMG_7705 (800x600)

This morning I had 8 miles on my training plan. I woke up hungry and my legs felt very tired so I considered cutting it back to 7. I stalled a bit with some iced coffee and toast. Until I didn’t have any more time to waste and got out the door.

At the 3.5 mile mark I decided I should really try and stick to the program today since I’m already cutting back my long run in Philly this weekend.

I did it! 8 miles on a Tuesday morning! IMG_7709 (800x600)

8 Miles – Average pace 8:35 (because it’s super down hill coming back)

  • Mile 1: 8:31
  • Mile 2: 8:37
  • Mile 3:9:02
  • Mile 4: 9:02
  • Mile 5: 8:22 (see, downhill time)
  • Mile 6: 8:12
  • Mile 7: 8:13
  • Mile 8: 8:43

I was super hungry (again) when I got home and brainstormed breakfast during the last couple of miles. I decided pumpkin pancakes with a fun topping would be delicious!

Apparently, I think it’s October because I went with a double pumpkin breakfast today! I made a batch of pumpkin pancakes and topped it with pumpkin yogurt and almond butter. IMG_7713 (800x533)

The yogurt was sweet and drippy! But, I still added some syrup, because I love it. IMG_7715 (800x533)

I have a busy mid-morning at work . Then, a big break before my evening clients. I’m hoping to update my FAQs page this week and do an Ask a Monican – leave questions here.

Questions, comments?
