Gooooooooooooood morning!

It’s a GORGEOUS morning here in D.C. — we had a big storm on Sunday night that finally cooled things back down a bit!

008

Man, I’m going to miss that view!

I met Heather this morning for a lovely 5 mile run to start out the day right 🙂

009

 

 

Clearly running = my morning coffee!

010

We had a great run — 5.11 miles in 44:45, for an average pace of 8:45. Good conversation, good weather, and a decent pace, too! The miles flew by 🙂

Stats:

  • Mile 1: 8:47
  • Mile 2: 8:45
  • Mile 3: 8:52
  • Mile 4: 8:50
  • Mile 5: 8:42
  • 0.11 Nub: 7:23 (Gotta end with a sprint!)

Running is the best way to start a day!

The other best way to start a day is with one of my vegan Almond Butter Banana Breakfast Bars 😉

003

YUM! I love these. I had half of one before heading out on the run, too 😉

Along with my breakfast bar, I enjoyed some nonfat plain Greek yogurt and fruit. Delish!

005

The perfect post-run breakfast 🙂

And now — it’s back to studying I go! I will be SO happy when this class is over…

Have a great day!

    LOVE THE FIRST PICTURE! I love that you found a trail to run on in DC. It was one of my biggest complaints of living there. I could never find anywhere with shade to run.

    Well, looks like we almost needed a pic of you saving me from that river grime. Apparently I lean, and run? Ha, weird. Loved this morning jaunt! And my breakfast bar treat! Round 2, coming up.

    i bet it's so nice to get a great run in before work! i would love to get my rear out of bed in the mornings for a run...but sometimes it's just so warm and snuggly in there :)

    I love that first photo! DC really does have some great trials. (I bike, not run.) Where's that one?

    I am impressed that you are so awake and energized looking in that picture! I don't think I could ever be that excited about running (especially early in the morning) but it is pretty clear that you are loving it!

    Looks awesome Anne! Which park at you running in?? I agree with Dorry above.. I'm trying to make running 4-6 miles my new 2-3 miles. It's been a little tough going! :P

    I've never seen trails like that in DC. Then again I've only gone as a tourist for a day or two. I would love to find a good place to run for my next trip.

    The bars look delish! I'm going to try making them over the weekend (I had no idea how expensive Almond Butter is - I should have entered your contest a couple of weeks ago!! ) After making the small investment (ha-ha), I hope I like Almond Butter!

    I love storms but the best thing about them is the "cool off" effect it has on summer weather. We are experiencing the same thing here in Chicago.

    Nothing like great scenery to make time fly. I did 6.5 this morning (way more than my usual 3). I was window shopping the whole time. I have a ways to go before my times are as good as yours though :)
