The Hungry Runner Girl: Checking in!

Checking in!

Spring Break has officially started.

I just rolled out of bed.

That equals 12 hours of sleep last night.

My only plans today are to run and wash my hair.

I might be too busy to wash my hair though.

I would rather bake.

Hopefully, I don't run into a pole because my eyes are still super squinty and kind of glued shut from just waking up.

Bread with jam and a donut are my pre-running fuel of choice this morning.

I can't think of anything else to write because I am too busy plotting out my 12 miler today.

Come back in two hours for a fully awake, non obsessed with what run she is going to do, donut eating Janae

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is your WEDNESDAY workout?

-12 miles and I teach spin tonight with some new AWESOME music.

Do you ever have donuts for breakfast?

-Our neighbors brought them over last night and either I am schizo or they really are calling my name from the kitchen.

What is the longest amount of time that you have slept?

-I think my record is 14 hours after finals week my junior year. I probably took a nap later on that day too.

My Wednesday workout is going to be 14 miles on the treadmill with iFit mapping out the trip too and from my office while Mike is at poker night!

Hope your run is awesome!

Totally channeled you last night and watched 2 episodes of glee on my laptop. My husband thinks I'm crazy. He's probably right!!!

PS so excited for fro yo on Friday!

At March 9, 2011 at 9:43 AM , Mallory said...: Spring break! Lucky! I work at a school but I don't get spring break off. I guess I should have been a teacher rather than a social worker!!

Workout tonight will be 6 miles. Switched my days around a bit this week, but I will still accomplish my goal!!

I haven't had donuts for breakfast in quite a while but that does sound really good!

I think when I was in high school I slept for around 14 hours once as well. I was also sick though.

I love donuts but I try not to eat them for fear of that yucky feeling. But I love em! Glazed, Maple, chocola-tat-tay, custard...I haven't met a donut I didn't like!

My fav? Nutella Donut... yes...nutella!

At March 9, 2011 at 9:49 AM , Kristen said...: Envy on the sleep. I have kids so I dont think I have gotten more than 5 hours in the last 7 years. Workout weights and cycling and a ton of stretching. I dont eat donuts but when I was pregnant I craved apple fritters from the donut store by my moms house. When she flew up to visit I begged her to bring me some and of course she forgot. Funny thing is my 3 year old is now obsessed with apple fritters.
At March 9, 2011 at 9:51 AM , Stephanie F said...: i can sleep like NO ONE'S BUSINESS. i love those 12-hour sleep in days. don't get them much anymore, but they are heavenly.

as far as donuts go, i've definitely cut back. but one day about 2 months ago, maybe i had 8 krispy kremes in one day. MAYBE.
At March 9, 2011 at 9:53 AM , Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn said...: Hahaha wait the 14-hour sleep is the story of my LYFE right after finals!! Slash totally fine, my eyes are always glued shut after I wake up, slash running fuel is always best/yummiest/most nutritious when it consists of donuts. Yezzer! My workout today = most likely the elliptical and poss some weights since my upper body is SO sore from weights on sunday! Why am I so weak, I need to enlist a husband to keep my guns in shape!
At March 9, 2011 at 9:58 AM , Cara said...: i used to be able to sleep all day in college!! now i cant sleep past 9:30!

love spin class!
At March 9, 2011 at 10:08 AM , Little Miss Runshine said...: I did 5 miles on the treadmill and jillian michaels!
I still am SO amazed at how you run 12 miles or more sometimes and then teach spin too! you are superhuman!

I think when I was sick I was only up for like 4 hours one day!

enjoy spring break!
At March 9, 2011 at 10:09 AM , Kate said...: So I just found your blog the other day, and I have to tell you I LOVE it!! You absolutely crack me up :)
At March 9, 2011 at 10:10 AM , BigHappyFamily said...: What's a full night of sleep? I don't even remember...

I never eat donuts for breakfast. I occasionally (when my kids whine a whole bunch or have something to celebrate) get donuts mid morning after breakfast. This happens ~2x per year ... if they are lucky :)

Today's workout ... more not running. I think I will go the whole week not running with as stiff as my legs still feel. Tonight will be 2-3000 yrds in the pool.

At March 9, 2011 at 10:20 AM , Jess @ Blonde Ponytail said...: HAPPY SPRING BREAK!!!! Utah looks grogous right now and I am envious of your runnign time with the Billster. Spencer is traveling a ton now, so I'm lucky if he even sleeps in the same bed!

I sprinkled baby powder on my hair this a.m. to combat the greasiness!!

HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!!!
At March 9, 2011 at 10:23 AM , Stephanie said...: I have class this evening for three hours so I'm hoping to at least fit in a few miles but if not...I'll be doing core work at home. :)

I love donuts. I have to stay away from them because I can eat a whole box in one sitting easily. :)
At March 9, 2011 at 10:26 AM , Anonymous said...: Did some strength training today....
We don't get donuts here....so I'll only eat them in another 3 years.
Hope you have a great run!

At March 9, 2011 at 10:26 AM , Unknown said...: yea for spring break! Wish I had that. boo! Wanna come to austin now? its 70F and sunny! I used love sprinkled donuts as a kid, anything with sprinkles really.
Have a great day doing what you LOVE!
;)
At March 9, 2011 at 10:27 AM , Unknown said...: Today is my nine mile run day,I have had donuts before for breakfast... Okay a lot of times before. The longest I have ever slept was 22 hours straight, but that was because I got sick from the water in Mexico and was bed ridden for days lol
At March 9, 2011 at 10:27 AM , Runners Fuel said...: I've been craving donutd lately and it seems like everyone is eating them. I MUST go buy them soon!!
At March 9, 2011 at 10:30 AM , Anonymous said...: I am on spring break this week as well!!

I've been sleeping in every morning. . . .until 6:30 a.m. I guess that's what you get when your body is used to getting up at 5 a.m.

I am running 5 miles today--I had a longer run yesterday--so today is a recovery day. Afterward I am going to go and get a free doughnut with a coupon I have!
At March 9, 2011 at 10:38 AM , RunEatRepeat said...: I need to get a few miles in, not sure how many.

Now I want a donut!
At March 9, 2011 at 10:38 AM , Jen said...: Yay for spring break! I'm glad you got some much needed sleep!
Donuts usually don't call my name, but I found these blueberry cake ones with blueberry glaze on top that are so good. I had one after my run Saturday as a reward. YUM!
At March 9, 2011 at 10:45 AM , Rose @ Eat, Drink, and Be Meiri said...: What is your WEDNESDAY workout?

-I worked out with my trainer this morning. It was HARD.

Do you ever have donuts for breakfast?

-Not in a long time. I can't handle sweets for breakfast. Please don't defriend me!

What is the longest amount of time that you have slept?

-I don't even know. I think it was probably like 18 hours in college. I had been up for a few days, though.
At March 9, 2011 at 10:46 AM , Natalia - a side of simple said...: I'm officially heading home for spring break tomorrow! All I can say is that it's going to be devoted to sleeping, eating, running, and (MKA)movie watching :) Sounds like a good plan to me!
At March 9, 2011 at 10:48 AM , Stefanie Mockler said...: Spring break for me is next week--ah, can't wait!!!

I've probably slept for a good 20 hours before! haha I love my sleep!
At March 9, 2011 at 10:50 AM , Anonymous said...: I am so jealous of your 12 hours of sleep!!! I am a sleeping monster, and will sleep as much as I can, whenever I can!!! (Which isn't nearly enough!!!)
At March 9, 2011 at 10:52 AM , Anonymous said...: I rode in my drainer today

No I don't eat donuts :)

I can't remember the last time I ever slept that long
At March 9, 2011 at 10:57 AM , Caitlin said...: Yay spring break! I had a great 5.25 mile run this morning and I WISH i had a donut available to fuel it! Have an amazing run and a great day off!!
At March 9, 2011 at 10:59 AM , my little celebration said...: I have donuts for breakfast when I'm having one of those "I don't care what humanity thinks of me, I'm staying in my pajamas and feeling pudgy and getting a sugar coma" kind of days. So ya, I probably make donuts my breakfast about once every few months :D.
At March 9, 2011 at 11:08 AM , Kara said...: 12 hours of sleep? Wow, you sleep as much as my baby! :)

I love donuts, but not for breakfast. I prefer one as a dessert to my normal breakfast!
At March 9, 2011 at 11:09 AM , Elizabeth said...: I could not be more jealous. Sigh. I was up at 5:30 to make 7 AM mass and then work. I think the sleeping in sounds decidedly more relaxing.
At March 9, 2011 at 11:21 AM , Anonymous said...: First of all, super jealous of Spring Break, my sister is a teacher too and I am so jealous of her summers off!
My workout tonight will be Bob Harper's Pure Burn Strength dvd and I'm really excited to try it out!
Sometimes I will have a donut if someone brings them into the office.
The longest I have slept I think is 10 maybe 11 hours, but typically it's a 8-9 hour night for me!
At March 9, 2011 at 11:22 AM , Anonymous said...: I have slept for a good 12-13 hours after a supershift at work. It's the best feeling in the world! Enjoy your day off, ya lucky duck!
At March 9, 2011 at 11:26 AM , Big Daddy Diesel said...: - I dunno, I hurt myself

- I took a part time job at a Krispy Creme to pay for my wedding, I cant stand the smell of doughnuts now because of it

- Once I slept 20 hours because I was sick
At March 9, 2011 at 11:44 AM , Rene said...: I ran 3.5 miiles and caught the first 30 minutes of an athletic training class. Had to cut it short because I have school Mon/Wed.
I love donuts. My friend does a double digit donut run. If she runs more than 10 miles she rewards herself post run. Great idea.
I love sleeping in but that's because I stay up way too late. So I take naps instead. One more perk of the kids being n school.
At March 9, 2011 at 11:48 AM , Anonymous said...: So glad you got to relax and sleep in! That is always the best thing about breaks. The longest sleep I ever got was probably 12 hours after a dance in high school so I literally slept all day afterwards. Yikes!
At March 9, 2011 at 11:50 AM , Kristin @NyceLife said...: You guys are so so sweet <3

I did a spin class and after I did 10 min. deep water running. So. so. boring.

My husband buys the kids love with donuts on an almost weekly basis. I try to shove them all down their throats before morning, but if there is one left, yeah, I have one. Who can resist a donut with coffee??

I think in college I likely slept a whole day once or twice. These days it's 6 if I am lucky...
At March 9, 2011 at 11:56 AM , Emily said...: things i miss about high school/college and why i wish i was a teacher: spring break.

today's workout was a 7 mile run through the zoo with the lovely blogger LAPT who is visiting DC for the weekend and hopefully a swim or spin after work.

chocolate donut holes are my favorite post-race food. i owe all of my race success to picturing them waiting for me at the finish line.
At March 9, 2011 at 11:58 AM , Preston and Jamyn said...: So jealous you get a Spring Break! The rest of us just keep working! I guess that's the benefit of being a teacher. Sign me up!! :)
At March 9, 2011 at 11:59 AM , Preston and Jamyn said...: P.S. Just an idea.... could you do a post on how to start training... for us beginners?? Or an example of what you did before your first race? :)
At March 9, 2011 at 12:06 PM , K is for Karma said...: Not going to lie....SO jealous of your 12 hours! The longest I have slept as an "adult" is probably right around there, too. 10-12 sounds about right! Lately I've been getting 8 but it feels like only 3 or 4! EEK!
At March 9, 2011 at 12:13 PM , chelsey @ clean eating chelsey said...: Your spring break started on a Wednesday? How interesting! :)

Have a great day lady!
At March 9, 2011 at 12:21 PM , Unknown said...: I once slept 18 hours straight. This was during college. We drove to Las Vegas and partied for a few hours and drove back. I got home around 8AM. I went to bed and had the best night's (day's?) sleep of my life!
At March 9, 2011 at 12:27 PM , Dorry said...: Happy Spring Break! I have a group run with lululemon tonight. :) That's my workout! And I slept for 11 hours recently when Billy was out of town. I was SO surprised when I woke up!
At March 9, 2011 at 12:29 PM , Bobbie said...: You are so lucky to be on spring break. I have a 4 day weekend coming up next month and I'm counting down the days. Workout today will be 4 mile run after work.

I try not to eat doughnuts, every once in a while I will get a craving and I'll have to have one. The last time was on Monday. They just opened a Krispy Kreme less than a mile from house (not good!) and I kept driving by it and wanting one so I finally stopped. It was yummy!

I've slept 20 hours before but I was also in the hospital with pnemonia. I think the longest I have slept on my own without being sick and on meds was 12 hours.
At March 9, 2011 at 12:31 PM , Samantha said...: Your spring break starts on a Wednesday? Weird. My husabnd is a 5th grade teacher- we are during spring break week now. Love it! I want to be a high school health teacher.. maybe some day. I have a bachelors degree in health so I would just need to get my masters in teaching if i wanted to do it... I think it would be so fun!!

Wednesday workout was 800m repeats which kicked my trash:)

At March 9, 2011 at 12:54 PM , SbMac said...: I am jealous of your spring break first of all! Second, I LOVE donuts!! A nice coconut donut in the AM is always good! Last, the workout for tonight is an easy 3miles and either Zumba or Jillian Micheals Ripped in 30:)
At March 9, 2011 at 1:00 PM , Maria said...: Love that action shot :)
I am not a fan of doughnuts. But I would love toast and jam or crumpets and jam.
I did nearly 7 miles today after work- that was my wednesday workout :)
Enjoy spring break
At March 9, 2011 at 1:44 PM , Anonymous said...: I am so jealous! My school district doesn't have spring break until the third week of April...
My Wednesday workout is 4 miles speed work plus an upper body strength training class at the gym. (can't wait...must finish school work. :D)
At March 9, 2011 at 1:46 PM , Lisa said...: Awesome---spring break!!!!

I have spring break next week, and I fully intend to sleep a lot.

My wednesday workout is going to consist of yoga and running. Keepin' it simple and fun :)
At March 9, 2011 at 2:07 PM , Joanne said...: Lucky you getting to sleep in. The last time I got to sleep in, it was the late breaking hour of 7:15 am. The dog won't let us go any longer than that.

As for donuts, no can do. My tummy doesn't like morning sugar.
At March 9, 2011 at 2:12 PM , Marlo said...: O M G.. everytime i try to post on here the comment as section is mad at me.. why is it so challenging for me.. LOL!

Love the picture of you and the hubby.. how does one get a picture of themselves running anyways.. LOL!

At March 9, 2011 at 2:37 PM , Miles In Murray said...: Workout today was speed work!
Donuts for breakfast is one of my favorite childhood past times!
My record sleeping was 2 days...no joke! I woke up for a few minutes a couple of times, but that was it!
At March 9, 2011 at 2:50 PM , Anonymous said...: I don't remember the last time I slept more than 8 hours... my mind wakes me up because it wants to be busy. I am so envious of you! Baking and running sounds like the best day ever!!
At March 9, 2011 at 2:58 PM , Anonymous said...: I think I'm going to come to UT just for some spin classes...the instructors at the Y here in town need some new/better music. Sometimes their music choice can kill my entire workout!

I love the idea of donuts but they usually really hurt my teeth. Something about being too sweet...but I can eat a whole bag of Sour Patch Kids or Skittles without any tooth pain...? I don't get it. But Skittles make me happy so I'm okay with it!
At March 9, 2011 at 3:15 PM , Katy said...: The longest I've ever slept would probably be 24 hours.. Haha. The military can make you tired...

I had a cinnamon donut the other day. I probably shouldn't have, but I had slept through 2 meals, and I was really hungry, so I felt like I needed the extra calories. Haha. (I also had a huge meal to go along with that donut. My belly was happy.)
At March 9, 2011 at 3:28 PM , Anonymous said...: The longest I've slept was 14 hours. It was glorious.

I loved chocolate glazed donuts (the chocolate cake ones with clear glaze) but I rarely have them because that much sugar in the morning makes me moody. They are nice treats though!
At March 9, 2011 at 4:20 PM , Anonymous said...: Wednesday is my rest day. I'm jealous of your spring break! I think the longest I've ever slept was 16 hours, I think. When I was a teenager, I would routinely sleep 14-16 hours after a migraine.
At March 9, 2011 at 4:40 PM , Nicole said...: Ive probably slept 14-16 hours once....... :)
At March 9, 2011 at 8:16 PM , RunningOnCoffee said...: Who took your picture? I also like how it looks like you are missing part of your right arm :)

Wednesday Workout: 1 hour spinning

Donuts for Breakfast: rarely. sometimes on car trips when we stop at Dunkin Dunuts though. We do have pastries from a bakery that is about a 30 second walk from our apartment though...

Sleep: I actually don't really like sleeping in. I feel groggy when I wake up after sleeping too long (more than ~8 hours). I slept for 12 hours consecutively when I was sick around New Year's this year though...
