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.

coffeeoats

  • 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!

memory

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!

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 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!
