\"Blue<\/p>\n

Hey guys! I\u2019ve been a bit remiss in my blogging lately\u2026as soon as we came back from our long trip away, we had 9 of my nieces and nephews here for over a week while their parents went on a holiday\u2026so as you can imagine, we had a lovely, wild, crazy time here.<\/p>\n

But last night I was finally able to get a little workout in. I ran 3 miles. But the great part is\u2026I did it in about 27 minutes! YES! It\u2019s a new record for me\u2026I\u2019m working to see if I can do 3 miles in 25 minutes, that\u2019s my next goal! I seem to have more energy at night\u2026<\/p>\n

I guess the reason I was so happy about it, was just because I\u2019m so out of shape since my trip. Though I really tried to get workouts in on the road<\/a>, it was really hard to fit it in. One night, excited to find our hotel had a gym, I decided to work out for an hour. And I worked out hard<\/em> with a full body routine. It wasn\u2019t a crazy workout, it\u2019s something I\u2019d do at home, no problem. But it was too hard of a workout for a body out of shape and that night I got sick. Like flu-ish sick (that happened to me after my first half marathon, when I didn\u2019t train properly).<\/p>\n

Anyway, now that I\u2019m home\u2026I\u2019m learning that when you\u2019ve been out of your routine for a while, you have to work back into it slooooowly. Something I\u2019m not good at.<\/p>\n

But one thing I am good at\u2026is eating this:<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

I had my Vegan Banana Oatmeal Pancakes<\/a> for breakfast this morning. Amaaazing. They just melt in your mouth. I did a new version of them today. I made them gluten free, replacing the wheat flour with more oatmeal (now my Dad can enjoy them!). I\u2019ve had a reader say that they replaced the wheat flour with buckwheat flour and they turned out great, so there are two gluten-free versions for you!<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m off to my workout\u2026maybe a 15 minute core workout and a 3 mile run.<\/p>\n

Keep your eyes open for a special giveaway that I\u2019ll be doing very soon! (grin)
