While most NYC runners were enjoying a beautiful morning in Central Park for the Healthy Kidney 10K - one of my favorite races of the year, and one that attracks elite runners from around the world - I was in the gym trying to get my workout done. Workouts like the one this morning make me yearn for the day when Woody and I have a house and are able to have our own gym. Yes, that's a dream of ours. So we don't have to deal with broken machines (we'll be the only ones to blame), dirty equipment, smelly/sweaty/loud gym goers who tune out the world around them, and especially so we can use a piece of equipment whenever we want and don't have to stand in line! All in all, I feel great after the workout but it was just a little frustrating trying to navigate the crowd (and it wasn't as bad as some days).
Yesterday I enjoyed some great meals I thought I'd share with you. I realized I haven't posted any food pictures all week, which may be just fine with some of you, but I know others appreciate healthy meal ideas.
First off was my lunch. I hard boiled a few eggs in the morning and after taking a few weeks off (with only a few exceptions) from bread, I purchased a pack of Trader Joe's sandwich thins on Wednesday. What I came up with was an open faced sandwich - one side hummus and egg, the other laughing cow cheese wedge and zucchini. On the side I had a few slices of beets with green beans and broccoli and of course, an apple. It was delicious.
For dinner I had another rice bowl. I am loving these things! I use a brown rice medly from Trader Joe's and fill it with beans and veggies with a little hummus and a few sliced almonds. Last night the featured veggies were broccoli, red, yellow, and orange peppers, cabbage, green onion, red onion and a few grape tomatoes. The bens were black. Delicious!!! And it smelled fantastic, too! It's really easy and incredibly healthy.

But how would you get funny gym-people stories if you had a home gym?! That's the best part for me. That rice bowl looks beautiful, by the way. I love me some bibimbap.
mmm... that rice bowl looks so delicious, I know what I want for dinner now :)
Nope , I'm headed for a tablespoon of the PB+Co. Dark Chocolate Dreams after a Road Trip with a friend down to Coldwater , Mi and East on Historic Route 12 that runs from Detroit to Chicago , also known in the OLD days as the Chicago Pike, to Manchester , North thru Chelsea , home of Jeff Daniels , and back to Okemos, We saw a Riverfest in Jonesville , ate at an old drive-up restaurant in Coldwater , saw a Civil War Encampment in the shadows of the huge Michigan International Speeway ( irony there ? Civil War tents , etc. and race cars ? ) , saw runners from 2 different races , hand dinner at Randy's Barbeque , where they smoke their pork to the sounds of a live blues singer , all along Route 12 ! Sorry about the run-on sentence , but it was a run -on day !
I love your blog!

I love your food photos as well- yum!
Did I seriously miss a PB & Co giveaway?? So not fair :)
