bare essentials needed for a good run
monday morning…..run by the beach.
You’re only one workout away from a good mood…. and everybody deserves to do something that makes them look forward to tomorrow!

our program for today
05:30 alarm
05:40 breakfast – 2 slices of bread with 2 tablespoons of super energizing pre-run peanut butter spread snack/ (see our run story of June 15) for those that haven’t put it in your daily diet yet!!!
6:30 time for our run……… day 2 of yesterday’s training plan done 1hr and 05 mins later!!
10:30 one granola bar
13:00 a poor lunch at the office…….. to consist of yoghurt, fresh fruits, topped with honey and walnuts
16:00 definitely need a dose of chocolate ………. Sadly only dark choc!!!
