Every time I get up and run first thing in the morning, when I’m rolling in that final half mile, I cannot BELIEVE that I did it! I don’t know why, but 5 miles before breakfast still seems impressive to me. ANY workout before breakfast is impressive!
I am full of energy today (excitement!?) and changed the bedding and put them in the washer all before our run. Then I ate a date. And we were off.
Hella, killer hills had me walking at times to catch my breath, but I survived. 45 minutes \\ 4.8 miles.
MY OTHER RECIPES
Overnight oats say holla!
In my homemade Honey Crunch PB jar:
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/4 cup yogurt (all we had 🙁 )
- 1/4 cup milk (all we had 🙁 )
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 whole honkin’ banana
- Pinch salt
- This morning: Nature’s Path Hemp Plus Granola!
We are moving from land to sky around noon. See you tonight, hopefully when I’m sweating in the sun!
I feel lost..where are you going!? I read all your posts, maybe I missed something!?
Aaah o/n oats – I had SUCh a major craving for them the other day, but it was like, 10mins before breakfast :'( alas!
Marco Island, FL for the Great Harvest Convention!
I agree, working out before breakfast is amazing. I used to have boundless energy in the morning and then it shifted to the evening. Now it’s all I can do to make a pot of oats when I wake up.
Yeah! I only workout before breakfast now ! by the time I’m 3 miles into my run I wake up and realize i have to run back home to eat.. perfect!
Have fun and be safe on your trip!
Dang those oats look good! It feels great to get moving in the morning. I love that feeling when you’ve accomplished something like that first thing! Have a safe trip!
I LOVE working out in the morning! It gives me so much more energy and makes me feel good for the whole day!
I haven’t been able to get myself running before breakfast in ages. I’ll need to use this for inspiration just to get out now.
yay for productive mornings!
Breakfast is always so lovely after a great morning run! Glad to hear it made your day 🙂
Your oats in a jar always look so amazing. Congrats on the run! I’m really getting into the morning runs. It’s so nice to have it out of the way and make breakfast that much more delicious. 🙂
I miss morning runs! Somehow runs don’t happen anymore now that I have 3 little ones… I guess running after them all day counts though 🙂
Those look like perfect “to-go” oats!
Have a safe flight!
This may sound weird, but your routine is comforting somehow! I have been noticing lately how much when I stick to a similar routine every day, I feel so much less anxious and out of place. I think you have a good routine showing through on your blog!
Congrats on surviving the run!! 🙂 🙂
Travel safe, Kath!!
Those overnight oats look particularly yummy today!
I admire your energy! I just starting going to the gym again yesterday after a month long hiatus. Have a great trip!
Way to go on that morning run, Kath!
Enjoy the convention!!
love oats in a mason jar. OIAMJ! 🙂 I have similar emotions about a.m. workouts…first the “no, I wanna stay in my jammies and make oats” phase…then the…”ok, ok, FINE, I’m going to get this over with” phase, and then the “wow I feel amazing and energized and SO glad I did this” phase.. 😉
safe travels,
cathy b.
That jar looks fun to eat!
Have a great trip, guys!! 🙂
nice work with the run!…safe travels!
Impressive run before breakfast and the oats look wonderful. Have a safe trip!
I think the granola would make up for the lack of the other stuff! Wish I felt as great as you – slept in and stomach is crap. Oh well – I’ll dream up some Florida sun 🙂
things eaten in jars are so much more fun!
I fell in love with overnight oats in a jar.
I don’t even wait for a jar of nut butter to be almost gone. I do it exactly like you and smash the nut butter around the bottom of a empty jar.
Yay for sun and vitamin D 🙂
You better wear your sunscreen 😉
Smooth and safe travels!
I love workouts before breakfast….call me crazy-but it is a great way to get some energy 🙂 Plus, I like the taste of breakfast after–soooo satisfying, mmmm! Have fun packing and fly safe, Kath!!
Stories like this is exactly why I want to start running. Thank you for the inspiration.
Have a safe trip!
I too love getting up early and exercising — too bad my body/brain doesn’t want to very often.
Have a safe trip!
Have a safe trip!! I’m so excited to hear about the convention 🙂 Hopefully it comes with bread pictures overload!
I love getting in a workout before breakfast! It makes me feel so accomplished 🙂
Five miles before breakfast is super impressive! It’s hard for me to workout in the mornings before breakfast because I wake up so darn hungry! 🙂
Safe travels! Or, as Rick Steves would say, happy travels!
Working out in the morning sets the tone for the whole day..
Beautiful pictures! Happy traveling!
Have a safe trip!
I love bundling up on windy days for runs – all those extra running accessories 🙂
Have a fabulous time! Eat some tropical oats while you’re there!
Have fun here in Florida! The weather is wonderful! 😀
Okay, I’m a little jealous of this trip. GH Bread + SUNSHINE? Is there a better combination?
Enjoy the warm sun rays! 🙂
I swear, overnight oats in a mason jar just look/taste so much better!! 🙂
Working out first thing in the morning is my favorite way to start the day. I hope you have safe and smooth travels!!
“I don’t know why, but 5 miles before breakfast still seems impressive to me. ANY workout before breakfast is impressive! “—
Yes, and YES!
I used to be a much bigger runner. And now when I read that anyone runs more than a couple miles, runs 5 or even 10 miles, I am always impressed. And to do it before breakfast, you’re superwoman 🙂
Safe travels!
Woah woah woah, hold the phone. HONEY CRUNCH PB!?!?! I am all over that!
Running before breakfast IS a major accomplishment! Good luck traveling:-)
WOWZER those overnight oats in a jar look superb!! I’m jealous that it’s warm enough/dry enough to run outside. In massachusetts it has been raining/snowing on and off and puddles cover the sidewalks!
looking forward to drawing inspiration from KERF for my (very) new blog!

Wow! Those oats sound amazing. My head is spinning thinking about all of the variations that could be done with this basic recipe. Nice job!
Working out before breakfast is the best way to start my day! It makes me feel so productive and happy 🙂 Hope you have a safe flight! Have some fun in the sun when you get there!
Those oats look delicious! I drop my husband off at work every morning around 6:30 am – maybe I’ll hit the gym after that. It just gets harder as the day goes on! Thanks for the motivation!
Enjoy the vacay!
Your oats look delish! and ps…love your green zip-up!
Getting in a killer run in the morning always pumps me up for the day too. I love feeling so accomplished so early in the day!
Ugh, I would absolutely die for some sun right now! I am the same way, I always impress myself when I whip out a great workout before breakfast! It makes it so much more delicious:)
Hey Kath! dahhh that ooiaj looks sooo smackalicious! 😀 I have a very random question, but I ask b/c you seem to be so good at dyi type of stuff! For your wedding day, did you do a lot of diy materials? Or everything was purchased and done the normal way? I’m curious how many bloggers (b/c y’all are so talented!) have done some things for their weddings.
wow, it looks like a cool breakfast! I like the idea of having breakfast in a Jar 🙂 I will try it vegan with soy yogurt and maple syrup. Thank you for the inspiration!
Last time I worked out before breakfast I almost passed out. Now, I’m kind of afraid to. Maybe I should try a date. I don’t know.
Fingers crossed the flights went to plan!
How did you get to be so fast!? My distance pace is sooo slow, my 50 yard dash on the other hand, that one’s speedy 🙂 Have a safe trip!!
YUM! I’ve never seen oatmeal put in a mason jar! You are so awesome Kath! 😀
your breakfast colors make it look like fall! i shouldn’t have been excited about that. i’d like spring immediately, but i’ll take my time through that and summer, please. haha.
That oatmeal looks so good! I can’t wait to try overnight oats tomorrow night. It’ll be perfect for the nights I stay at my boyfriend’s and need a quick n’ easy breakfast to take with me on the go the next morning. Thanks for the great ideas!! 🙂
I’m a new reader, but I’m definitely hooked 😉
I hope you’re having a blast at the convention! I’m behind on posts, but I’ll get caught up soon! 🙂
