They're perfect for post workout refueling or a healthy dessert!Foot update. If you read my post on Monday you know that this past weekend my foot decided to be a jerk and not only cause me a ton of pain, but also ruin my plans. Well, knock on wood, I think I’m in the clear and the worst is over. I’m able to walk and run like a normal person again and putting on my shoe doesn’t make me scream. It still looks pretty gross, but my runner’s feet always look gross.

I’m pretty sure what happened was a got a blister under a callus and since I couldn’t drain it, it just kept putting pressure on the blister. I’ll stop now, this is pretty gross and more than I’m sure you want to know about me and my feet.

They're perfect for post workout refueling or a healthy dessert!A little note for all you runners and a reminder to my future self, if you have an injury or something that is causing you to compensate your form on a run, it’s probably best to cut the run short or take the day off. I made the stupid mistake of doing neither and strained a lot of the muscles on the outside of my calf and gave myself another blister on the other foot. Everything is on the mend now, but it could have easily been much worse.

My sister who makes my training schedule for me every month, said to take it easy this month to give my body and mind a break. Easier said than done, but I’m trying my hardest. Come September I’ll be itching for speed workouts again!

After hard workouts or long runs I’m always wanting to eat anything and everything throughout the morning. To help curb all the food cravings I try to keep energy bites in the freezer, like the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Energy Bites. They help replace the carbs that I burned and they have protein in them as well to help keep me satisfied longer.

    This made about 14 golf-sized balls for me. Delicious! Very sweet...if I made it again, I probably would only put in one tablespoon of maple syrup to make them a bit healthier. :)
