Lance Armstrong is the MAN!

on July 14, 2009

Well, I managed to get 6.75 hours of sleep. The Tour de France sucked me and the Husband in — I LOVE watching bike races on TV! Especially the highlights. And those men bike insane distances — over 200+ miles at a time! Wowza. I biked 60 and nearly died.

Breakfast today was SO good:

The star ingredient was honey from the Farmers’ Market:

I drizzled the honey all over two whole wheat waffles, plain Oikos yogurt, and blueberries. MMMM!

Strength Training

I feel like I’ve been slacking on my strength training so I did a quick 5 minute session this morning:

30 push-ups
50 bicycle crunches
10 decline push-ups

Whew!

Operation Beautiful

"Where in the USA is Monica?" Monica from Run, Eat, Repeat is taking a cross-country tour on Operation Beautiful! On Monday, she hinted that she is "Faithful to getting Operation Beautiful’s message to this place," and "we can thank Theodore Roosevelt for recognizing the beauty of this land." If you guessed that Monica was going to be in Yellowstone National Park, you were right! 🙂

Now Monica is on her way to Destination #4. Can you guess where she is going?

1. This place represents the first 150 of American history
2. Monica is definitely in a Rush to get to this next stop!

Visit Operation Beautiful to see the rest of the notes!

Those waffles look so divine and SUMMERY too! You always make the best looking pancakes and waffles. Let's have a HUGE blogger pancake breakfast. I'll drive hours for that! 🙂

Your breakfast looks really good this morning.

Have you ever read Lance Armstrong's books? They are amazing and so inspiring. I think that he is such a trooper.

I'm with Madison – those waffles look AMAZING!! Definitely down with the blogger breakfast!! 🙂 Between your waffles, Kath's oats and Jenna's Green Monsters we'd be in heaven!

I'd say Mt Rushmore but I have no idea about US history (I'm an Aussie). The waffles look so yum!

Ugg our roof is being re-done and the workers knocked our satalite dish out of place so I am missing it today!

Those waffles look awesome, and farmers market honey never fails to disappoint!

She's going to Mount Rushmore!

Oh man I love watching the TDF! Those athletes are amazing. I always wonder what their eating schedules are like. 🙂

I am obsessed with watching the tour! They are so inspiring.
Sarah (Running To Slow Things Down) July 14, 2009, 6:21 am
Oh my…YUM! Those look delish!
Mel @ She Runs Brooklyn July 14, 2009, 6:22 am
Hey!

I'ts crazy to me that you function so well on less than 7 hours of sleep. I need at least 7 if I want to be a happy & productive person!

Although my brother can operate on 4 and run a race. What gives? I wish!
Amy July 14, 2009, 6:32 am
Your waffles look deeelicious!

I'm working on some Operation Beautiful notes en francais!

I'll be sure to send them your way!

I love watching it on tv, too. So inspiring!
Reese July 14, 2009, 6:36 am
That breakfast looks like something from IHOP. Healthy food porn anyone?

The Tour de France sounds exciting! I was forced to watch the Home Run Derby with the hubs. Anything for quality time I guess 🙂

Lance Armstrong is amazing! So inspirational!
leslie July 14, 2009, 7:10 am

Matt July 14, 2009, 7:46 am
Good looking breakfast! Lance is awesome. He is actually one of my idols!
Christina July 14, 2009, 7:48 am
Those waffles look fab, I bet farmer's market honey is amazing!
Katie July 14, 2009, 7:56 am
I bet Monica is going to Mount Rushmore.
I've never thought of yogurt on waffles, but yum!
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) July 14, 2009, 8:30 am
Woo, go Lance! 🙂
Jess July 14, 2009, 8:34 am
I've been having a hard time getting enough sleep lately too. Grrr. Good luck to us both! ha.

I'm guessing (like everyone else who already posted, haha) Mount Rushmore!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) July 14, 2009, 9:09 am
I was just raving about you to my friend last week that you biked 60 MILES!! 🙂
Chloe (Naturally Frugal) July 14, 2009, 9:20 am
I'm going with Mt. Rushmore. What a fun road trip, I definitely need to do that once in my life.

Normally I'm not a big waffle fan, but those look great, especially with the honey! Yum!
heyitstay July 14, 2009, 12:03 pm
Durrr Mt. Rushmore!! My friends are actually roadtripping there right now! I wonder if they'll see any Operation Beautiful notes 🙂
Susan July 14, 2009, 3:09 pm
That honey looks divine!!! I've been on such a honey kick lately…

Sorry, I'm rooting for Contador and Mark Cavendish. Cavendish is riding a Scott, the same kind of bike I have (well, obviously much nicer). I want my bike to win!! 😛
