Tuesday - 5.5 mi
Wednesday - Rest
In the past couple of weeks I've changed my usual running schedule up a bit and started doing shorter, easier runs on Sundays and using Monday as a rest day. I've really enjoyed this change for a few reasons:
- Running on Sunday gives my legs a good shakeout after Saturday's long runs
- There's no pressure on scheduling a run, just go when I have the chance
- Having Mondays off allows me to ease into the week better - no pressure to add fitting in a run to my already long to-do list
We'll see how long this lasts.
Tuesday morning I "Forrest Gumped" a friend's long run, joining Cat for 5 of her 10 miles. Best new running term ever, huh? Try it, all the cool kids are doing it.

| Ignore the first mile split - this was more of me sprinting around the area attempting to keep warm before meeting Cat. Sorry to the nice older man I almost ran into in the process. Awkward. |
Confession: I owe Chobani an apology.
When I first tried Greek yogurt probably a year and a half ago now, I hated it. Looking back, I know I was being unfair and really didn't give it a fighting chance. My taste buds have changed so much in the past several years (especially away from excessively sugary things) that I should've known I would grow to love it. Instead, I swore it off and gave people dirty looks in the grocery store as they stock-piled those cute little cups into their carts.
I started easing Greek yogurt into my diet late this past summer when I discovered overnight oats as a quick and easy breakfast option, but continued to mask the taste by adding in fruit, peanut butter, etc.
This past Monday while grocery shopping for the week I noticed that Chobani was on sale 10 for $10. I gave in (once I made sure no one was looking) and grabbed a few flavors to try out.
Surprise! I'm in love. I've eaten the Strawberry and Strawberry Banana flavors for breakfast the past couple of days with a small handful of Kashi GOLEAN Crunch on top. Delightful.
So, Chobani, I'm sorry for doubting you and judging you before I really got to know you. I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me and we can be the best of friends.
Assuming you're all much wiser than I am, you're already in love with Greek yogurt/Cho. So help me out...
What are your favorite flavors?
Any exciting recipes using Greek yogurt that you're dying to share?
We're so happy you changed your tune! That's the best thing we've heard all day. It's hard for us to pick a favorite flavor...that'd be like asking a parent to pick a favorite child. Try 'em all, we say!
