5K Run

So, this morning I ran a 5K run with my friends Smithy & Lay. We had a blast & I feel SO GOOD after it.

Pre-Race I tried out this "homemade energy drink" I heard the recipe on NPR a LONG time ago (it's supposed to be better & last a long time compared to canned energy drinks).

Here it is:
1 cup oats (mix it in the blender until a fine powder & I like steeled oats a lot too)
2 TBS os OJ concentrate (I didn't have any so I used orange juice)
6 oz strawberry yogurt
16 oz Diet Mountain Dew
1 cup strawberries (I just kind of eyeball a bunch in there-yum!)
Just blend it up & you're done!

Now, just keep in mind even blended into a powder the oats make the drink chunky. You'll chew the last little bit of the drink- yummy, I know.

Then we headed off the the race, which unfortunetly had only 25 runners max so we were in the back of the pack. Let's just not disscuss how far in the back we were- just not the VERY LAST.

Afterward we went to Zuppa's for a little fresh salad & yummy soup. We had a blast & I definetly want to train harder & do it again.

P.S. the last 5K I ran (& my first) was Sept 2006
