There is a great running path that goes around Lake Eola, so I did that loop four times. After two loops, I would run to nearby Lake Lawsona and do a loop around that lake (Orlando has a lot of lakes). It’s so motivating when the scenery is beautiful. It almost made up for the fact that it was about 90 degrees. 
Here are my statistics:
- Total time: 1 hr, 11 minutes (including a 5 minute cool down)
- Average Heart Rate: 183 bpm
- Maximum Heart Rate: 203 bpm
- Calories Burned:678
Red, White, and Blue Oatmeal
After my run, I had a HUGE bowl of oatmeal (2/3 cup dry, 1/2 cup milk, 2/3 cup water, 1 small banana, some blueberries and raspberries, and 1/8 cup of Grape Nuts). I felt so patriotic eating it! I thought a lot about the Olympic athletes on my run this AM, and I was totally inspired. GO USA!
It was a BIG bowl, but I burned so many calories on my run, I’m sure I will be starving again soon.
Pre-Run Snack
Before my run, I had a cup of coffee and 1.5 slices of WW bread, 1 tbsp of organic PB, and a small banana. It’s the perfect pre-run combo!
Well, I gotta get moving– I need to check in with the office and then I need to do some wedding research. I’m meeting with a potential florist at 2 PM and hopefully, she’s within our budget! I would love to get the flowers OVER WITH! 🙂
