I went running first thing because today is ALL ABOUT THE PAPER!
I ran 6 miles, but they were a slow and rather difficult 6 today. Normally when I’m running fast spurt I look down and see 8:18 pace or so, and today when I thought I was running fast I looked down to see 9:15! I think my legs were a little tired from the mountain hike on Sunday and needed more rest!
Once home and showered, I was all over my breakfast and made this amazing bowl:
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water, pinch salt
- 1 tiny banana
- Splash vanilla
- 1 tbsp raisins
- Heaping 1/4 cup cottage cheese, stirred in at end
- Leftover Great Harvest Carrot Raisin Walnut muffin
- Maranatha AB
This combo was amazing…
Pumpkin Spice + Christmas Blend
Guf – I ate too much! I think my stomach is about to overflow back up

Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
Whenever I drink coffee with breakfast, it makes me over the top full! Since it’s mostly liquid, I bet your tum will feel back to normal soon 🙂
So jealous of your Great Harvest muffin oatmeal. NYC has a lot of things, but we don’t have muffins like THAT!
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) says
Oh gooood, you’re getting me motivated to write my own 3 papers.. I’m so failing at starting them right now, ughhhh!

Kara says
Good luck with paper writing today!! A nice, long run and big bowl of oats sounds like the perfect combination to start the day 🙂
Also, I was at Crate & Barrel yesterday and they had a huge bowl FULL of your little green spoons! I have to try one with my oatmeal some day…
brandi says

Naomi (onefitfoodie) says
my run today was a toughie too! I pushed through it for 4.2 miles but 1)never as fun on the treadmill 2) had a killer leg workout yesterday so It was a toughie today for sure 🙂
yummy breakfast, that would motivate me to run faster if I knew I was coming home to that!
I checked out the homamde granola bars from the chic life and they look so good! I printed the recipe 🙂
Christie @ Honoring Health says
Good luck with the paper!!
StartingHealthy says
Cottage cheese in oatmeal? I’ve never seen that before, what does it end up tasting like? It seems like it could be a nice way to add some extra protein to it.
Mom says
What is the paper about?
Ameena says
Good luck with finishing the paper. The oatmeal looks great!
Ali @ Food, Fitness, Fashion says

Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Glad you got in a nice run to start out your day. Good luck on the paper… those are always time-consuming!
Krissy (Single Serving) says
I really don’t like the texture of oatmeal but you keep making me want to try it again. Good luck on the paper!

Nom nom nom. I am SOOOO having oats in the morning! Good luck with your boss haha 😉 I can’t believe we only have about 3 weeks left in this semester!! Where did it all go?!
Tania @ Moment Anew says
You may not have run as fast as you wanted but 6 miles is still 6 miles!! Good for you!!!! :))
Eileen says
You converted me. I didn’t think I’d like baked goods on my oatmeal, but I was curious. So today, I had …
oatmeal with shredded apple, crumbled walnuts, and a crumbled sliver of Trader Joe’s apple bread, with a drizzle of honey. It was GREAT … and I was surprised to find that the bread was better, texturally, than the actual apple. I don’t know … I love ripe pear in my oatmeal, but apple doesn’t seem quite right. It was very virtuous and hearty, though … kept me going all morning.
I do have a question, though. Muffins are probably my worst trigger food for overeating. I LOVE them, and if I didn’t have a family to feed and answer to, I could probably have coffee-and-a-muffin for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
HOW do you eat just a little bit of a muffin? You often mention “leftover muffin,” and that just doesn’t compute with me. 🙁
Nicole (dishin') says
Mmm! Muffin topped oatmeal is delcious. Good luck with the paper!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
GOOD LUCK! At least you had some yummy brain food 🙂
Erin says
Good luck with the paper! I feel like you’ve answered this before, but I’m going to ask anyway 🙂 Where did you get those placemats!?
Megan says
Good luck on the paper! I finally tried oatmeal w/ a muffin-ish topping (pumpkin cranberry bread) and you were SO right!
Chelsea says
I HATE runs like that 🙁 GO KATH GO! Finish that paper!
Sarah (OC2Seattle) says
Muffin + oatmeal = genius!
Paige(Running Around Normal) says
Mmm a carrot raisin walnut muffin sounds delcious right now. Great job on your run, and good luck on your paper:)
Jamie says
That bowl looks awesome!! And it does look really filling… oatmeal alone fills me up so much! I am sure you will digest that pretty fast though considering your 6 mile run.. nice job!
Anne [email protected] Weigh of Life says
Good luck with the paper-you’ll do great!
Carolyn says
Wow, that breakfast looks fantastic!
Kath says
StartingHealthy,
It’s amazing!! Makes it kind of cheese danish!
Eileen,
If you saw how big these muffins are, you’d know how I can portion them out. They’re like 2 of my fists. But so glad you liked the baked goods on oats! I told you guys it was surprisingly amazing.
Erin,
They were a gift, but I THINK from Crate + Barrel from Matt?
