27 July 2017

First, I’m training for a marathon right now with a friend who is also going to Duke in the fall. We are following the Runner’s World magazine 20-Week Marathon plan.

How is that relevant to today? Well, today was a rest day. That means no running, which means restless Clarice. When I don’t run, I feel like a potato!!!

With my eating/body issues put on the table here, I also hate rest days because it makes me feel like I have to eat less/more healthy because I’m not exercising. And, to go with the fact that I’m so unbelievably bored this summer (which is a blessing but I’m getting tired of too much of a good thing), I just feel like I want to eat all the time.

Well, I ate my favorite bowl of overnight oats – blueberry overnight oats! Hmm.. I’ll write a post with the recipe now actually. I also made myself an iced matcha latte.

For my mid-morning snack which I don’t think I actually needed since I wasn’t hungry, I had a farm fresh white peach. I like hard peaches but this one was soft, so not the best.

For lunch, a kale salad with lentils, farro, sautéed carrots and mushrooms, and goat cheese. It wasn’t too aesthetic, but it tasted pretty good!

What did I do today? Literally nothing. I’m so bored. Anybody have suggestions for bored people?

See you all tomorrow!!

 

Hello!!!

Hello! I’m Clarice, and I’m going to be a freshman at Duke University in the fall. I’ll be studying biology or chemistry on a premed track.

Basically, I’m really bored this summer, and I’d like to share my thoughts, what I eat every day, and how my marathon training (!) is going, among other things. Whatever you are interested in, let me know, I’ll write about it!

So let’s get started!
