More Stuff I Ate

Sad news! I fractured my left foot during Saturday's 20-mile training run, which was supposed to be my last really long run before the Nashville Rock & Roll Marathon in three weeks. BUMMER. Now I'm back in the boot and down for the count. I've had a stress fracture in my other foot before, and that healing process was long and slow. I won't be running for awhile, sadly.

I drowned my sorrows immediately after that painful run with a gigantic plate of Spaghetti & Vegan Meat Sauce with Garlic Bread and Garlic Kale from Imagine Vegan Cafe. I couldn't eat all that spaghetti cause that's a boatload, but I finished off a good portion and saved the rest for later. I was sad about my foot but ravenous from my run.

Here's a meal I ate before last weekend's long run. Vanilla Cranberry Steel Cut Oats with Cashew Butter. I'll sure miss my Saturday long runs.

And here's a Chocolate Brownie FitQuick Protein Waffle with Chocolate PB Sauce & Berries that I ate after last Thursday's speedwork run. Sigh ... I'll miss those post-run waffles too.

Okay, no more whining about my food in this post! Here's a Blueberry Smoothie Bowl (base of blueberries, banana, and vanilla protein powder with strawberries, blueberries, and pistachio mulberry granola).

My non-running day breakfasts look more like this plate of Avocado Toast and Scrambled Vegan Egg. I will be enjoying more breakfasts like this! Bright side.

And here's a random Thursday lunch from Mama Gaia in Crosstown Concourse. I went to yoga at the Church Health YMCA and then grabbed a Smokehouse Vegan Burger with Baked Fries from Mama Gaia for lunch. The burger is so good, and it's made from beans and beets and veggies, topped with caramelized onion, BBQ sauce, and vegan cheese.
