Hola Amigos – happy Tuesday!
For an on-the-go breakfast today, I’m going to be noshing on a WildBlueberry PURE Bar, a Sliced Peach and Banana.
Sweet and tart – just like me 
I’m going to be devastated when peaches aren’t in season anymore! Do you ever just stop and smell a peach? Sometimes I think the smell is more exciting than the taste…
Then I come to my senses, eat it, and realize that NOTHING is more exciting than the taste of a peach! 
For lunch today I packed some Fresh Vegetable & Thyme Frittata slices, over a big bed of baby spinach, with some of that monster squash and cherry tomatoes.
That’s the awesome thing about a frittata – it’s just as good cold, as it is hot!
I was thinking about making zucchini/squash bread with all the leftover squash I have. I think that’d work, don’t you?
Today’s Greatest Running Tips
So today’s selections from the 101 Greatest Running Tips, also come from the “Starting Out” section. They’re good ones!
Tip #9. Don’t crush the egg: “Don’t clench your fists in a white-knuckle grip. Instead, run with a cupped hand, thumbs resting on the fingers, as if you were protecting an egg in each palm.” –Runner’s World editors
- I am actually in a really good habit of keeping my fingers and hands pretty loose. Like tensing up your body, clenching your fists wastes so much energy!
Tip #10. Make time for a quickie “If 15 minutes is all the time I have, I still run. Fifteen minutes of running is better than not running at all.” –Dr. Duncan Macdonald, former U.S. record holder at 5000 (set when he was in medical school)
- I can aaaaabsolutely improve on this. I am, in general, an “all or nothing” kind of person. Really though, any and all forms of exercise, in any and all lengths of time is better than nothing at all. Now I just need to convince myself that getting sweaty and needing to take a shower for a 15 minute run is worth it! Which, it is.
Tip #14. Stay “liquid” “Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate! In cold weather and warm. We use water to sweat, lubricate joints, tendons, and ligaments, and to carry blood efficiently to major organs. I work all day at hydrating.” –Dr. Alex Ratelle, former masters running great
- I really like that quote – “I work all day at hydrating.” because it’s a really important job! If I’m not hydrated not only am I thirsty, but I’m tired, listless, cranky and working out is darn near impossible. Try getting your hydrate on with fun foods like watermelon, peaches, cucumbers & zucchini!
Well, I’m hitching a ride to work today with the husband, hence the on-the-go breakfast. The battery light came on in my car over the weekend, so I dropped it off at the service center yesterday morning. I haven’t heard back from them, so they either stole it or the problem is worse than I originally thought…RATS! Think good thoughts!!

Hahah I hope the service station didn’t steal your car!! Thinking good thoughts for you.
Thanks for posting all the running tips – I am finding them very helpful!!
And I love your peach pictures too. I cannot seem to find a peach this summer that is ripe – I get them when they are not quite ripe, then by the time they half-ripen, they are starting to go bad.
Your frittatas always look so damn good!
My fav grab and go breakfast is an english muffin with but butter and a banana, or a yogurt mess in a to-go container. I always gotta pick of a coffee as well!
i love leftover frittata
favorite to-go bfast – if I HAVE to – toast or bagel with pb and fruit or yogurt mixed with cereal/granola/oats and fruit and nuts, or hard boiled egg with fruit if I have some made.
I would say a green monster is my favorite on the road breakfast, if I have time to put it together!
Otherwise, a bar (Larabar, Clif, or Kashi), banana, and yogurt. If I litterally only have time to grab things and go!
Your frittata looks awsome, I’m definitely going to try it!
I would think the squash and zucchini bread would turn out well! Let us know!!!
That peach looks so good! I am obsessed w/ these Sugar Tree Nectarines that Lunds/Byerly’s have right now. They are the best nectarines I’ve ever had. So I am eating them like they are going out of style!
I don’t really have a good ‘on-the-go’ breakfast. I tend to eat cereal every morning, but that is obviously not portable! But if I had to do a grab & go, I’d probably do a nectarine & a cup of yogurt.
Oh im with you on the peaches… I love them SO much! Best on the go breakfast has got to be an egg/cheese/veggie wrap thing
I love peaches too! My favorite go-to breakfast would be a Cliff Bar and probably a banana. Simple and delicious.
I’m not great at grab and go food, which is why I usually have some oats soaking overnight that I can just heat up, throw some PB on and eat in the car
my fave grab and go breakfast is definitely a good energy bar with some pom juice. yummy!
or take a green monster to go.
love the tips! keep at it

I just found your blog – love the running tips! I try to make time for breakfast in the morning. My favorite is oatmeal pancakes or eggs!
Favorite grab and go breakfast is a clif or larabar and a banana! I love going grocery shopping and smelling the ripe peaches!
holy moly just made your frittata!!! I had some frozen stir fry veggies and some corn and peas (plus some red onion since the hubby wasn’t home, like yours he’s anti-onions) I used instead but man was that GREAT! Some cold watermelon on the side – suuuper dinner tonight! Thanks for the recipe!!!
Coco, Your typo on nut butter made me laugh out loud!!!!
Oh my, how much one little letter can change a word so much!
