Man, I forgot how tiring it is to run 7 miles. I’m pooped.
My run went pretty well this afternoon: I felt good, I had no hip pain, and I kept my pace around 9:30 per mile. It actually went better than expected! 
I’m psyched that I successfully tackled 7 miles, but now I’m so ready for bed.
Dinner
Tonight, I never really ate a “real” dinner, but I definitely consumed enough food over the course of the evening to count for dinner (and lunch)!
I started with leftover Pasta Carbonara Light.
Then, I munched on a couple of Coconut Curry Livin’ Spoonful crackers and a bunch of pitted dates.
And I finished off the night with three (yes, 3!) bowls of Raisin Bran with soy milk. Cereal is good.
(A handful of Cheez-Its also went undocumented.)
Now, with a full belly, I’m heading straight to bed. Goooood night!

Congrats on 7 successful, no-pain miles!
I love snacky nights
You get the wonders of every food you want to have in small snack size quantities!

You can NEVER go wrong with cereal!
Congrats on the run! Glad it was pain free!
I can never have just one bowl of cereal either
Great job on the run! Cereal is the best post-run food!
So glad you were pain-free Tina! That is great news!
I am the worst with raisin bran. Actually I never have it except when I travel (I swear it’s at every continental breakfast) and I always have endless bowls!! So good
Cereal is my favorite bedtime snack!
Yay! Congrats on your successful run!
After a longer run, I have trouble sitting down and eating a full meal but re-fuel like you did; I think it’s so important to give your body what it wants after it gave YOU what you want – a 7 miler!
Great job on the run! YUM! I love raisin bran. It is has been too long since I had some! Sleep well!
Congrats on the run!! And what an awesome way to re-fuel…nothing like cereal
Congrats on the 7 miler!! I agree- cereal is goooood! I eat it every morning to keep those cravings away!
mmmm cereal for dinner! love it.
Woohoo on the run, I’m off to run 9 in the AM myself.
Seriously, I feel like I cannot eat cereal at night without it turning into at least 2 bowls!
those crakers look good!
hurray! congrats on the run…that’s huge
oh my – awesome stats for your run!!! Way to go!
Oh cereal. You can never have just one bowl! Especially when paired with vanilla soy milk! so yummy!
Oh, to go 7 miles, and without pain! How awesome. Congrats!

Are you still doing treatment for your hip, at the clinic you were going to?
Congrats on the 7 miles! I rarely eat just one bowl of cereal. If there’s leftover milk in the bowl, I add more cereal. It can become a vicious cycle if I’m not careful!
I used to be addicted to raison bran! I would just eat handfuls of it through out the day. I haven’t had it is soo long! Congrats on your long run pain free!
Congrats on your 7-miler – that’s awesome! I love raisin bran. I am guilty of eating all the raisins.. Because raisin bran rasisins are YUM!
Cereal has that property of refilling itself into a bowl, haha.
Congrats on your run, it sounds great!
I’m a snack monster after a great run too. Cereal is the perfect post run fuel
Mmmm, I <3 cereal. It definitely counts as dinner!
Great job with the longer run!
I’m having a bedtime snack of a bowl of cereal. Cereal is yummy!
Congrats!!! I love cereal too! I usually eat it as a snack/dessert and not for breakfast.
I love cereal for dinner too — and how can anyone stop at one bowl?
Congrats on 7 pain-free miles!
Nice job on the run! I <3 raisin bran. So addictive.
Great run Tina!
congrats on your run! and don’t worry, i’m a cereal machine. 3 bowls ain’t nottin’
Sometimes you just get the munchies and want a variety.
I laughed out loud at the cereal bowls comment. I find, especially when eating it for dinner, I could eat endless amounts of it. It’s dangerous but oh so good!
Congrats on your pain-free run!
go girl go girl go girl shake them dice and roll em! 7 miles woo! i think i will eat some cereal to celebrate!
Great job on the 7 miles! Sleep tight!
I snack like that (actually, more snacky less meal-like even than you) most nights. Sure, it’s probably bad for me, but it feels so gooooood
Being in a wheelchair I obviously cant “run” a 7 miler but I’ve started doing a seated “run” by moving my arms to do the motion, loads of twisting involved & I did 10 minutes of that today & boy, it’s tough, running is not easy
@Marilou @ Mostly Healthy: No, it’s too expensive.
This might sound silly, but thank you for posting that you ate THREE bowls of cereal. I sometimes do the same, and I feel guilty for it almost like it’s not allowed, even if I’ve had a grueling workout.

wow 7 miles is a long run! great job! i am always soooo hungry after long workouts
Way to go on the run! I’m glad your hip didn’t give you any problems.
Mmm. I had a couple bowls of cereal yesterday too! (I am becoming addicted to Honey Bunches of Oats!
)
Good job on the 7 miles. All that fod is good! I love cereal!!
