I left my heart on the West Coast and slept till nearly 9 this morning! That put a little bit of a delay on the day. It’s 11 and I’m just now eating second breakfast a la hobbits!
I knew upon waking that I wanted to run, but I was also really hungry, so I had a double snack that did the trick. But I think it sort of killed my second breakfast appetite!
A hunk of Hungry Bar (which is now all gone 🙁 ) and half a banana with sunflower butter
Then we ran! A glorious sunny morning jog to campus, around campus and back.
Some of us were more energized this morning than others!!
Once we were home I put on the coffee in our tiny kitchen and Matt fell asleep!
I wasn’t really all that hungry – and seeing as that it’s 11 I considered just moving for lunch. But I decided I don’t know when and where we’re eating, so better to have a light something now.
Enter smoothie, coffee, apple
I brought a handful pantry full of breakfast ingredients, including the last minute idea to bring the Vega Shake and Go Smoothie Mix. You can “just add water” when you’re on the go. I’ve always used it IN smoothies – not on its own. But since I bought some milk yesterday, I figured I could shake those together.
Not bad at all!
The apple was good. The coffee was blah.
I really could sit here in this leather chair + ottoman all day long, but we have people to see! We’re going to walk (1 mile) to campus and back and get lunch there, go to the football game, and take lots of pictures on this gorgeous fall day!
Michele @ Healthy Cultivations says
Sometimes, sleeping in just a little bit can make all the difference in the world.
Have fun taking photos!!
Claire (Low Impact Fashionista) says
Jealous that it is still fall there! It dumping buckets of snow here in Minnesota…there goes my planned outdoor run!!
The Wife of a Dairyman says
Enjoy your gorgeous fall day:) Matt looks like he’s in dire need of a nap;)
Heather says
Sounds like your body needed the zzzzs!
Great job on your run and enjoy the rest of your day – I can’t wait for my 10 year college reunion next fall.
laine @ beets, butter and mountaintops says
I travel with my little coffee maker and own coffee. You never need to drink blah coffee again!
Lisa Fine - lisasfoods says
I’ve been thinking about attending my ten year reunion this spring…could be fun, but would also be really weird as well. You might make me convinced, though I think I’d be more into relaxing at the hotel too. 🙂
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Enjoy the day with your friends Kath! Maybe sleepy head will get moving eventually!
Nicole @ yuppie yogini says
Matt looks rough! Lol!
Lee says
Kath,
I love how you travel with your kitchen! What is a day without nut butter??
Erika @ Food, Fitness, & Fun says
Oooh, that protein powder sounds delicious. Believe it or not, I have never seen fruity protein powder before! 😛
Simply Life says
oooh I still need to try sunflower butter!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Love that pic of you and Matt!! It’s so animated lmho Well, you are..him, not so much. 😛
Grocery Goddess Jen says
Funny pics! I bet you will be so happy to be home!
Camille says
Hahaha, I take it that Matt found his frat parties 🙂
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Looks like someone had a little too much fun crashing the frat parties last night. 😉
Teresa @ Teresa Tastes & Travels says
You do such a great job of packing along (and actually) good yummies on the road! That’s not easy! We tend to subsist on plain yogurt all day when we travel, then a big bang out for dinner. Not good, not good…I know…
Caitlyn (A Spoonful of Life) says
Extra zzzzzzzz’s can do no harm!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
I can’t believe you got Matt to run with you!! I have to drag my husband with me after late nights.
I love how dense and thick that sunflower butter looks!
Catherine says
I love that you reference Hobbits 🙂
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!
Michelle (The Runner's Plate) says
I always travel with a boatload of snacks–I never know how hungry I’m going to be or what I’ll be craving!
Katie (The Boston Marathoner) says
I love second breakfast! I think it’s my favorite meal of the day.
[email protected] Reshape Your Life says
Those pictures of the two of you made me laugh. Too cute!
I usually eat two breakfasts. It’s probably my favorite meal of the day. 🙂
Judy says
LOL, love the pictures of Matt. To funny….
Sam @thesecondlunch says
HUZZAH!!!! I fully appreciate that reference Kath! Happy reunioning!
Maddie (Healthy Maddie) says
Haha I love the picture of you and Matt! He looks like he needs some sleep. The Vega powder sounds interesting. Where do you buy it?
Kath says
At specialty health food stores (or online)
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
Sleeping in is so needed sometimes!!
Enjoy your FUN fall day! 😀
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Hahaha those pictures of you 2 are awesome.
[email protected] says
These could be pics of my finace and I. He is not nearly as happy as I am in the mornings!
erica says
aaaaah!!!! SECOND BREAKFAST!!!!

…ok, now i feel like a huge lord of the rings dork!
Lauren says
Matt is so hilarious. I haven’t had a green drink in so long, but I’m really craving one now. Nothing makes me feel healthier.
Allie says
Awww, it’s so nice to sleep in sometimes! That’s so cute that your husband went right back to sleep-you guys must be tiredddd! Have fun on campus this lovely afternoon 🙂
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
pix are hilarious!
stacey-healthylife says
Good for you for getting in a run.
Faith @ lovelyascharged says
Bahaha, what awesome pictures of the two of you!!!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I have the Shake n Go products too – I cannot CANNOT just have them with milk or water. I do it though, just for the protein… and gag.
Hannah says
Teehee, I love that you just had a banana with sunflower butter… and I just ate chocolate covered sunflower seeds. That speaks rather perfectly of our difference, I think 😉
Manda says
HEY! Christmas is around the corner and I went to your SkyMall account to check out the camera you had on there a few months ago…its GONE!! Can you tell me which one it was? I want something that you would recommend. THanks!
Amanda
Kath says
Do you mean OpenSky? I had my DSLR in there as a way to share the model with people – it’s the Canon Digital Rebel XSI. Sorry it’s gone!
Nicole @bodybybeer says
+5 points for the awesome LotR reference!
Sana says
Hahhah Matt looks so tired! Do you guys run the same speed? I like to run with someone who is faster, and cuter!
Kath says
He is definitely faster, but I have also gotten faster. We run at about an 8:30-8:39 pace together. Any slower and he gets annoyed, any faster and I can’t keep up 🙂
[email protected] says
I totally slept in till 9 today… Sunday is one day all week to catch up and it was glorious!
Dee says
Nice! It always feels so good to sleep in after the madness of a couple of days!
