Sunday Runday & Scramble

Happy Sunday Runday! And Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!

It was a beautiful morning for a run, so I got up and headed to The Point!

 

Such a nice spot to get my stretch on! I worked my way down the stairs and got some strides down on the beach as I headed back home!

I got in just under 5 miles ( I was aiming for 5, but I guess I turned around a little too early!)

After I made a yummy veggie scramble for me and the man:

Today's was filled with LOTS of left over broccoli from this week! I also added starburst cherry tomatoes and some Lite Sharp White Cheddar cheese from Trader Joes! I used two full eggs and then the rest was just egg whites. 

I of course added a little Tapatio for some punch!

Hope you can get out there and enjoy this day! 

Sunday Runday: Classic Car Show!

Hope you had a happy Sunday Runday! This past week housed national run day and national donut day! Kind of ironic I thought...

Anyway, I did not run on national run day since I taught a Circuit Training class instead, but still lots of cardio! 

This weekend was the Classic Car Show in the Capitola Village. It definitely provided some great scenery on my Sunday run!

We've been having some light drizzles in the mornings so I wore a hat to stay dry. The air actually felt great on my run and kept me nice and cool! 

Here's my classic car pick: 

Yes please! 

After the run I made a batch of my oatmeal protein powder blueberry pancakes :)

Did you run this week!?

Sunday Runday: Ocean View Bike Path Run!

Happy Sunday Runday! Hope you can find time to get out there today! 

I set out to do a light run today since I've had some big workouts this week. So, I took a little different route and ended up on a bike path overlooking the ocean!

The great views  lured me over and then I stumbled on some awesome bike jumps!

I was stoked to do a little "par-core" running and mix things up! No one was around so I used the bike jumps to work on some speed and balance. I felt like I was on American Ninja Warrior! 

I didn't do any jumping to save my knees, but it was cool running back and forth quickly and testing my agility! 

Well, and the view didn't suck...

Once I was home I made up a quick breakfast:

1/2 Whole Wheat English Muffin

1 cooked egg

1 slice 2% Provolone Cheese

1/2 local bacon avocado ( given to me yesterday by a friend of mine who grows them on her vineyard!)

 It was super yummy post run food and filled me up! 

Avocados are great because they provide healthy fats, which fill us up, and take longer to digest, so we stay full and satisfied longer!

I had never had a "bacon" avocado either! Hass is usually the brand available in stores, so I was eager to see how these were. The skin is much thinner and smoother, but they taste great! Theres nothing like local produce :)

Have you ever had a "bacon" avocado?

What other types have you tried?
