Breakfast

I am starving right no. It is 8 o clock in the morning, I have not had anything to eat all day, minus one blueberry from a co-worker. In the chaos of the week — waking up early for my work as a student teacher — I managed to skip breakfast this morning. Not a wise choice I know, but I have not been grocery shopping at all this week (I was sick and went out for dinner last night, being Valentines Day).

Typically, I find myself not hungry at 5 a.m. when I wake up but starving by the time I start teaching at 8:30. Usually, I grab some oatmeal or granola in the staff room, but this morning no such luck. Instead, as I sit waiting for the school bell to ring I thought I would write about breakfast.

Weekends are great because I get to sleep in and then devour a massive breakfast. Take this weekend for example, I had pancakes, sausage, eggs and fruit on my long run day and I had tons of energy. 

When I was running track I would usually have toast or cereal for breakfast. As I have become older I prefer granola, yogurt and fruit. I remember when I was in Thailand we had the biggest fruit bowls with granola and yogurt for breakfast, yummy.

So without further ado, my thought for the day is:

What is your favourite breakfast food on training day? What are some excellent quick breakfast recipes for the runner? Is breakfast as important as snacking throughout the day?

Leave a comment and let me know. Or just think about it any maybe reflect on your breakfast habits. I am always on the look out for new and interesting granola or oatmeal recipes. So drop me a line if you know any.

Cheers,

Chris
