It’s May can you believe it? I know I can’t. The 14th I officially begin my half marathon training for the Rock N Roll Half in Philadelphia. One of my besties Brey lives there and signed up for this race, and has asked me to join her. I knew that training for any distance over the summer can be difficult. But training for a half, especially after not running for so long, seems quite daunting. Luckily, I have a steady plan in place and with time on my side, I’ll be prepared!
With training for a half marathon means fueling properly. Besides breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it’s also the meal I eat after working out. Whether I went for a run or after the gym since I workout at 5 AM normally don’t eat beforehand. The problem I’ve run into while working out in the morning, my time to make a wholesome breakfast. I sometimes drink a shake but usually, I end up hungry way before my usual morning snack. So I’ve been looking for a breakfast that I can make in advance and just warm up when I am ready to eat. Enter: Egg Whites & Veggie muffins! I’ve used egg whites for a previous dish here that was perfect for dinner and loved the egg white option!
