Introducing: A Runner’s Week Of Good Eats!

May 11, 2016 by Jenna

Nathan (from Minneapolis Running) and I have been collaborating on a project and I am SO EXCITED to share it with you today!

Introducing A Runner’s Week of Good Eats! It’s a meal planning guide to help runners spend less time in the kitchen and more time working towards that PR.

A Runner's Week Of Good Eats!

So here’s the situation:

It’s the middle of the week and you just crushed a run after work – maybe it was an interval workout, maybe it was hills, or maybe it was just an awesome couple of miles. Whatever it was, you are now on a runner’s high and feeling pretty good.

Approximately 25 minutes later hunger strikes. Hard.

You get home, open up the fridge and cupboards only to realize, dang, you didn’t prep any food for dinner. Instead of taking the time and effort to prepare an actual meal, you pour yourself big bowl of cereal… again… *sigh*

Has that ever happened to you? Because I’ve definitely been there on more than one occasion and it really deflates my post-run euphoria.

Now imagine this:

You get home from your run and already have everything prepped to make something delicious, like baked salmon with veggies or pork stir fry with brown rice. You also have all your lunches set to go for the rest of the week and delicious snacks and breakfasts too! Plus, you didn’t have to do any of the planning, just the shopping and the prepping!

Doesn’t that sound like a dream?!

A Runner's Week Of Good Eats!

Flourless Peanut Butter Carrot Raisin Cookies

April 20, 2016 by Jenna

I have a sweet and healthy treat for all the peanut butter fans out there: Flourless Peanut Butter Carrot Raisin Cookies!

Flourless Peanut Butter Carrot Raisin Cookies

They are delicious.

These cookies are packed full of peanut butter along with a bunch of shredded carrots and raisins. Guess what isn’t in them…

Flourless Peanut Butter Carrot Raisin Cookies

(Did you guess?)

…flour and processed sugar. We just don’t need them here. The peanut butter makes the cookies dense and soft and the carrots, raisins, and honey naturally sweetens them.

We’ll call them a healthy treat.

And another plus (as if you needed another one), these Flourless Peanut Butter Carrot Raisin Cookies are so super simple to make – just stir everything together with a bowl and spoon.

Head on over to Minneapolis Running to get the recipe and start baking!

Granola. I love it. However, I don’t let myself buy it. I love it too much and when I have it in my cupboard I risk bingeing on it. Not ok. Store bought granola tends to be sold in large quantities with high amounts of sugar and it’s just not what I need.

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
