It feels like I was just making my National Running Day badge for last year and here we are again!
National Running Day is always the first Wednesday in June which makes me happy because it is always around my birthday, if not on my birthday, which happened two years ago!

Obviously I have cake on my mind a little more than usual this week but if you must know, I am still finalizing exactly which desserts I will eat for my birthday. Big decision people, big decision.
Until I figure it out, let’s take a look at what else I have been eating lately…
Breakfasts:
No pre-run oatmeal photos but they look the same everyday so you aren’t missing anything.
My post-run oats though, while basically the same every single day, are always exciting when featured in an almost empty jar.
Yesterday I went with a smoothie bowl after my run because I was so thirsty — really hit the spot.
I always swirl extra peanut butter on top!
Lunches:
Saturday’s beach day lunch looks like frozen yogurt but it isn’t frozen yogurt.
It’s frozen fruit. Chloe’s frozen fruit.
Chloe’s is dairy, fat and gluten-free.
I have been to the Chloe’s locations in the city but we don’t have a local store near me. I am lucky that Tutti Frutti in Long Beach features a few of Chloe’s flavors. I didn’t love the banana so I just went with the strawberry.
I am still choosing simple English muffins with peanut butter and fruit when I am home at lunch time.
I finally tried Brio the other afternoon for lunch.
Chopped greek-type salad with avocado because I always add avocado when it isn’t included in a salad.
Dinners:
We went for pizza Friday night before going to the movies. I don’t eat pizza all that often but I do adore this vegetable slice on a whole wheat crust from Villa Monte. It’s always so good and loaded high with fresh roasted veggies.
Saturday night was gorgeous so we dined outside by the water.
I am definitely on a hummus kick lately, in case you were wondering.
I ordered some sort of roasted beet salad but had them sub the sunflower seeds for candied pecans and add avocado.
I usually insist on dressing on the side, not sure what happened here.
Loaded baked potatoes are still my go-to weeknight meal. It’s so mindless and easy yet always satisfying.
Big baked sweet potato topped with roasted broccoli and Brussels sprouts with hummus, barbeque sauce and avocado.
And because you need to see what it looks like when I am roasting up a bunch of my favorites:
Dessert:
I had a totally yum brownie sundae over the weekend.
The fudgy brownie was at the bottom of the cup which was topped with vanilla frozen yogurt, cookie crumbs, whipped cream and hot fudge.
Of course I asked for more hot fudge half way through my sundae.
