Race Day

Well the race is over, but the endorphin high of running next to an energetic 10-year-old among 7000 neon-green clad runners lingers. It was a fabulous morning filled with team spirit, photo sessions galore, and weather that could not have been better (despite the promise of rain, per weather.com)! It was bitter sweet to be running a race that marks the culmination of weeks of track practices. Everyone finished; therefore, everyone succeeded. Now there is only one thing left to do . . . eat homemade overnight museli:
and rub warm therapy Sombra (great timing as it arrived at my front door yesterday!) all over my tired legs (I ran 8 miles prior to the race and walked 4 miles as a "cool down" later in the afternoon. Totally normal, right?).

Overnight Museli
serves 1 hungry runner
1/2 cup raw oats (not instant)
1/4 cup mix of dried blueberries and dried apples
1/4 cup shaved almonds
1/4 cup brown rice flakes
1 cup vanilla almond milk

Put all ingredients in a bowl and place in fridge overnight. Enjoy :)
