Well, hey there! Happy Sunday to ya.

This morning I woke up knowing I had a 9-mile training run on the agenda, but I wasn’t at all eager to get out from under my comfy covers. I begged my Dad to ride alongside on his bike for moral support, layered up, laced up, and was almost out the door when my new running toy read “low battery”. I gave it a few minutes to juice up and crossed my fingers it would hold out for the entirety of my route.

Just a little after mile 7, I looked at my watch to see a black screen… and then some ugly words shot out of my mouth. Why now? Why my long run? Ugh, frustration. I tried not to let go of all motivation and cruised along home, which I calculated – using gmap-pedometer – to be approximately 2 miles.

On the bright side, it was a b-e-a-u-tiful morning, I felt strong, I conquered the hills, and I #gotitdone.

I fixed my grumpy attitude with pancakes and iced coffee.

I made my favorite pancake recipe gluten-free using oat flour and, again, it was a success!

You can find the adapted recipe on my NEW RECIpage – woo!

I am so excited about this new addition to the blog. Casey + Emily have created an amazing recipe platform for the blogging community. I have many many more recipes to enter, so in the meantime, my original recipe page is still up for your browsing pleasure.

Enjoy the day!
