Happy 27th Birthday to Caitlin!!
and
Happy 28.5th Birthday to ME!!! 
Yep. Today is my half birthday! Wheeee! 26 is the best number.
In honor, I ran 4 miles and walked .26 to celebrate. It was hot. Thank goodness I made myself take my Camelbak. Couldn’t have done it without water.
Lunch was particularly great today
Fried egg on spinach feta toast. You know, as much as I think I like runny eggs, I was very glad this was not runny. So much easier to eat when it was 90% cooked through!
Carrots + apples
And salad with cranberries and walnuts
Lime bubbles!
Afternoon beckons…
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
I had a huge KERFalicious style salad for lunch today… yum. But now I think I’m craving eggs…. dinner? 🙂

Katie @ Nourishing Flourishing says
Love that cloth — so perfect with the limewater 🙂 I have a thing about numbers too — only mine are 21 and 37. That’s the time unit I use for everything! (Microwaving something? = 1 minute and 37 seconds, etc.) Does this make me OCD, or just bizarre? Ha 😉
Allison @ Happy Tales says
I love this. I can be that way, too! I set my alarm clock for *the* most bizarre times. 6:13 AM? You betcha!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
Happy Half Birthday!
I love the matching lime slice with the towel. How cute.
Runny eggs are the best!
Ashley @ Feeding Ashley says
Happy Half Birthday!
I think Caitlin is 27 though that’s what her post this morning said.
Your lunch looks delicious!
KathEats says
Thank you!! I had 26 on the brain 🙂

Nice way to honor Caitlin .. .26 miles walk! Happy half birthday to you! I celebrate mine too.. people think I am weird!

Faith @ lovelyascharged says
Is that just a simple spring mix for the salad?
KathEats says
Yes
Lynda says
I love the idea that you celebrate a 1/2 birthday…like we did as kids. That half a year made a big difference. Love all your food combinations. I’ve been eating more eggs at dinner with lots of veggies due to your pics which shows what a good combo it is….delicious!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
Happy Half Birthday! 🙂
I love runny eggs, too. Can’t stand dry, overcooked yolks!
Chad says
I just ate a salad with a big raw egg cracked on top SUPER runny and so good. Beautiful pictures.
Laura Jane says
Happy half birthday!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Happy Half-Birthday! You didn’t want to run 28.5 miles in celebration?! LOL! 🙂
Gina says
Your photos make me want a front porch so bad! Not really possible in a high-rise!
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food says
I am definitely a runny yolk fan, because then you can use the yolk like a condiment or dressing for your salad etc 🙂
Good luck with all of your work! 🙂
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Loooving all of the colors on your lunch plate. That egg just pops!
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
I’m all about some cranberries and walnuts on my salad. Did you add dressing?
Sometimes I find the toppings are enough for me – No dressing needed.
Lucy @ The Sweet Touch says
That eggy looks tasty! The sun is finally shining here in St. Louis – planning on taking a nice long walk with the hubs tonight!
Ellie @ The Mommyist says
Happy half-birthday. Enjoy all that sun!
Alyssa says

Happy half birthday!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
My half birthday changes each year! Technically, it should be February 30 (my birthday is August 30), but since that day doesn’t exist, it’s either March 1 or 2 depending on Leap Year 🙂
Christine (The Raw Project) says
Awesome run! Gorgeous salad, perfect spring colors.
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
oh how wonderfully gooey does that egg look!
Jackie says
I went to Great Harvest for the first time today! Perhaps I am celebrating your half birthday! Or just celebrating my Groupon! I am sooooo excited! I told the owner about you and loved that she was kneading dough all the while.
KathEats says
!!!!!!!
Jackie says
I asked the cashier if she ate a lot of bread, she gave me the biggest smile. I was instantly jealous. Then she proceeded to let me know that after every shift they’re allowed to take a loaf home! My jealousy skyrocketed! I think I need a “will work for bread” t-shirt!
Hilary says
Happy half! That egg looks so cute and delicious.
Ericka says
Happy 28.5 to you…and to ME TOO! Holla for being born on 10/26/82. 🙂

Turning 30 this year – and totally undergoing a “thrisis” (almost thirty year life crisis…) – y’know what I have done with my life, etc. The usual 😉

(P.S Is the bread GH as well? That’s a great variety of flavors).
Christine says
So you prefer a camelback to a hydration belt? Does your back get hot?
KathEats says
I haven’t tried a belt, but I can promise you I would HATE anything around my waist!! It doesn’t get hot
Christine says
I wear a belt and it is super annoying- good to know they don’t get hot, thanks!
Melissa @ Journey to Marvelous says
Happy half birthday!!
Lauren says
I think more people need to celebrate their 1/2 birthdays! Oddly enough, I was searching your archives today for something and I came across your post from last year’s 1/2 birthday.
KathEats says
Was that in the new thumbnail links?
SquatLikeALady says
I LOVE when eggs are cooked all the way through. SO easy to eat!
Also just wanted to let you know — my hubby is getting out of the AF in a few months and we’re looking at buying into the Great Harvest franchise — your blog has been SUCH a help with the decision (which still has not been made yet).
KathEats says
Oh how fun!!!! Good luck!!!!!!
Karen says
How exciting…if today is your half-b-day, then tomorrow must be mine! I can always count on you to remind me to engage in some celebratory enthusiasm when our birthdays/halves arrive!
KathEats says
Haha – Happy Half!
Emily says
And happy 26th to me! I like that my half birthday is your birthday. =0)
KathEats says
Indeed!
Ginger&Rice says
I’m always so paranoid about not cooking my eggs long enough, but that one looks good!
Kel@The Kel Show says
Your half birthday is My birthday! That means your birthday is my half.. Of course, at 45, I stopped counting birthdays about 16 years ago.
Happy half birthday!
KathEats says
And happy Bday!
Kristin @ FoodFash says
Everyone deserves some good lime bubbles on their 1/2 birthday!
Hannah says
26 is definitely the best day for birthdays. May 26 over here 😉
Caitlin says
Hi Kath,
Just wanted to leave a comment to say that I recently discovered your blog, and I’m enjoying following your food escapades. My brother lives in Cville and works at the 2nd Street gallery-where you went on Friday! I live in Boston, but your seeing all of your lovely meals keeps me inspired 🙂
KathEats says
Oh fun!! We love Second Street Gallery!
Lea @ Healthy Coconut says
My birthday is today and I remember you are also a 26th baby! Happy half birthday to you Kat

Happy Bday!!
Court says
April 26th is my half birthday too! Birthday buddies! 🙂
KathEats says
Whoooo!
Khushboo says
Great looking lunch! As simple as eggs are, they always hit the spot! I seem to be eating egg-whites every day, such an easy souce of protein!
Kyle says
I should have known that you’d be celebrating your half birthday too! Whenever I read your blog I remember that we’re birthday buddies – happy half!
I’m 22.2 today!
KathEats says
To you too!
