I may need to revoke my runner’s card for this one but here goes: I had oatmeal yesterday for the first time. Ever. I eat oats all the time in smoothies, pancakes, on yogurt but not hot. Until now. I liked it….but wow is that stuff filling. Had to share a little with the dog. And yes, that’s a Cars themed spoon. Beggars can’t be choosers.
Since the new training cycle started I’m so bone tired by Friday mornings I lay there like a board. Sadly I already felt that way this morning.
Today is my second speed session of the week. Seriously what was my coach smoking?
I love 400m repeats but I’m having confidence issues on doing 8 of them in week 3. Seems rather excessive for a hag, I mean a runner like me.

I’m drawn to this Lulu top like gapers to an accident. Perhaps for a foxhunt?
So come clean: What have you to runfess today?
I love oatmeal for breakfast – but never before a run. My confession is that I almost never do repeats. I’ll do random tempo runs (I don’t schedule them though, that’s just too daunting LOL).
Never had oatmeal?? HOW DARE YOU!?
8×400 seems like a lot for week three, to me, too! But you will get through them!
Ha ha. That top is… something else 😉
I used to eat oatmeal when I was little but now I never eat it hot.
My runfession – now that I’ve started doing more runs at a nice slow pace I sort of want to run slower all the time – oops!
Two speed sessions in a week? Impressive. Must be the oats! 🙂
I love oatmeal! I have been eating so much more to boost my milk supply, so I have to admit that I have been adding some chocolate chips to mine. Oops:)
I hated oatmeal growing up but like it ok now. It’s one of my go-to pre-long ride or run meals, all doctored up with honey, nuts, cranberries, and sunflower seeds and cinnamon.
I just used the incline setting on the gym TM at above 1 for the first time ever last night.
I am not a huge oatmeal fan, but I down it before every long run/race because it just sticks with me awhile. Did I eat some before SR? I can’t even remember. Yay for you for trying it out. And, um, that top at Lulu would make my butt super big. WHAT!?!?!
I’d say your coach was probably smoking a hallucinogenic mushroom when he/she wrote your program. Have fun with that second speed session.
Oh, and my runfession is that I’m a clumsy runner.
I have Tommy Cooper compression leggings that I use when my legs are exhausted & need a little recovery help!
OMG- you seriously NEVER had oatmeal before.
That’s so wacky!
what!?! what kind of healthy/running/blogger are you? 🙂 j/k!! i can’t think of any runfessions at the moment…
Is that Lulu top supposed to be for working out? It would be cute as a jacket with jeans or something.
I use to eat oatmeal every morning for breakfast, now I eat bacon :-). My runfession is that I procrastinate most runs as long as I can. Not sure why since I love running.
Oh man, I love oatmeal! It is so good!
