I did a switcheroo today like I did on Tuesday and worked out later in the day. So, I started off with a combo I have been thinking of for a while – mocha oats! Susan and I were on the same wavelength.
- 40 grams oats
- 3/4 cup coffee
- 1 small banana
- 4 grams cocoa powder
- 10 grams chopped toasted pecans
I used the coffee in place of the water. This was very strong brewed coffee, too. It was a very unusual flavor, I have to say. I couldn’t taste the banana at all, just a bit of sweetness. It was eye opening!
My wonderful husband bought me some memory for my camera! I was talking about getting some because I can only take so many pictures and very short video with it. And then he said not to buy any because he got me some. Early Christmas gift for me!
Isn’t technology amazing? 2 Gigabytes and the size of my fingernail.
Today was my hardest training day before taper week before the duathlon. I did a 1.5 mile run, then 16 mile bike ride, then 2 mile run.
As promised, here is a little bit of my bike path. It’s like my own Blair Witch Project LOL! I took so much video today, it was fun. This is just one piece.
I am such a nerd LOL. I feel like a bit of a goof. I held the camera in one hand while riding. Actually surprisingly steady for that.
It was the most gorgeous day today. So beautiful. I kept stopping to take pictures:
Stunning, just stunning. I wish I really could capture this on camera.
After the bike ride and before the 2nd run, I had some of this!
Zico, would you sponsor me, please?? 
I love this stuff. It’s coming with me on duathlon day!
Pink picture of the day:
This is a local laundromat. That color is on purpose LOL!
I felt really good when I finished. I did take more breaks riding that I should have, but I realized that I will be able to finish the duathlon. I know that now, and if I have to take a few breaks, it’s okay! I am getting excited and nervous about it. I can’t wait to see what kind of weather we will get next weekend. Mid October could be anything!
Question: Do you have fall photos to share? List the link, I would love to see!
I don’t know about the mocha oatmeal! I love coffee but I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to try that!
It’s so beautiful where you live. I love those fall colors. You will do great on the duathlon. You are amazing.

I could feel the wind in my hair!!!!!! LOL! At one point i thought we were taking a swan dive in the water and i was thinking oh so thats how she does the transition. LOL! Really beautiful video and pics. Thanks so much! Not much color here yet , if we get any. I guess the Monarchs are our pretty leaves.
My mother in law’s bed and bathroom used to be the same color of that laundromat…until we she got tired of the Pepto jokes!

Gorgeous trail! and fall pics
PS – NROLFW arrived yesterday! Plan to read it tonight and get started tomorrow. Loved your last video post
Great pictures!!! Looks like you had a great ride. I couldn’t hardly watch the video I get motion sickness lol. Your mocha oats sounds interesting but I’m a tea person, hmmm, chai oats?
.-= Dawn´s last blog ..Weigh-in Wednesday =-.
I did that with a concentrated chai mix before, quite good!
Your pics and video made me homesick for PA-live in GA now-absolutely beautiful!I love the idea of coffee in my oats.I love coffee as much as you seem too.May try that combo soon…
I LOVE the video!! I am so jealous you can ride on trails. That path is absolutely gorgeous.
I had mocha oats again for breakfast today
The flavour is a little odd at first, and I don’t get that usual caffeine jolt I do with regular coffee. But I didn’t fall asleep at work today, so that’s something

Lori, LOVE the bike path video, and I’m jealous that you have such a great place to ride! I have great scenery like that, but no bike path at all, sometimes feel like you’re taking your life in your hands riding on the road! I absolutely LOVE the first fall photo that you posted! And I loved hearing your voice. Maybe I’ll get brave pretty soon and post a video blog. Hey, I just got home again, and your coffee was waiting! I’m so excited! I”m gonna take the doggies for a run, and treat myself to some fresh coffee when I get home! Thanks again!
