Today’s Run: \u00a03.40 miles (beginning of taper week for Sat’s half marathon)<\/p>\n
Yesterday my husband and I went to the grocery store. \u00a0I was out of my breakfast standby: \u00a0Malt o Meal. \u00a0Lo and behold, there was not any Malt o Meal anywhere to be seen on the shelves-anywhere! \u00a0This was not good. \u00a0I have had Malt o Meal forever for my breakfast (joined with two very strong cups of black coffee). \u00a0What to do!?!<\/p>\n
Well, my next best thing was Grits. \u00a0Not instant grits mind you (boo), but the real, cook for five minutes, Quaker Oats Grits! \u00a0I like Grits and have been known to order them from time to time when dining out.<\/p>\n
There are many things you can do with Grits. \u00a0People just add salt and pepper. \u00a0Some people add butter but by far the most popular combination down where I live is to add cheese. \u00a0Yummy, but very high in calories. \u00a0I want a simple, low fat, low calorie, plain ol’, easy to digest before I go out on my morning run breakfast. \u00a0That means from now on, my pre-race breakfast will have to be plain ol’, nothing on them, Grits.<\/p>\n
A friend of mine sent me this link today so that if I get totally\u00a0desperate for my Malt o Meal, I can order online. \u00a0We will just try the Grits, first.<\/p>\n
