Breakfast of Champions

After pressing snooze twice, I finally managed to pry myself out of the covers at 4:15 this morning, got dressed, and headed to boot camp to the tunes of Sugarland. (I'm getting ready Heather!) We started this morning with a 3.something run. I really don't know how long it is, but for convience, we'll say that it was a little over 3 miles. I ran the first two miles at a little bit faster pace than I had previously been running, but then I quickly bottomed out. I'm going to blame the extreme humidity and not my lack of perseverence. To make up for the shortcoming, I decided to do sprints the last mile, which consisted of walking 2 street lamps and then sprinting 4 street lamps. I'm still not sure which is worse, the sprinting or the steady pace of running. Either way, I was wiped by the time this over (about 36 min after I started). Last, but certainly not least, we did some leg lifts, crunches, supine bicycling, standing military presses, bench presses on the ball, bicep curls, tricep extension, squats, and lastly pushups. By the end, I was in desperate need of my starbucks, and I got it.

Why breakfast of champions as my title, you may ask. Well, today I'm not sure that I had a breakfast of champions, but I did eat breakfast all day long. I wonder if eat breakfast all day can make one a champion, even in the breakfasts themselves are not the breakfasts of champions?? I'd like to think that it does, and seeing as it's probably my favorite meal, this was no challenge for me. I started off with a course of flax seed granola with yogurt for breakfast, my standard cracker barrel breakfast for lunch, and some go lean waffles with hot tea for dinner. For those that may not know, the standard cracker barrel breakfast consists of whole wheat sourdour french toast, egg beaters, and turkey sausage with sugar free syrup. Sounds gross... I know... but it's really quite good. I was going to go grocery shopping for some food to stock my pantry and fridge, but I didn't want to melt in the rain on the way. I can run in the rain, but grocery shopping in the rain is out of the question.

Oh yes, I must not forget to mention a words of sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone who has sent their kindest and most inspriring words of encouragement. There can never be enough.
