"In football, you might get your bell rung, but you go in with the expectation that you might get hurt, and you hope to win and come out unscathed. As a distance runner, you know you’re going to get your bell rung. Distance runners are experts at pain, discomfort, and fear. You’re not coming away feeling good. It’s a matter of how much pain you can deal with on those days. It’s not a strategy. It’s just a callusing of the mind and body to deal with discomfort. Any serious runner bounces back. That’s the nature of their game. Taking pain."

Easier said than done, but I’m trying.

3 ingredient Fat Free Raw Chocolate Mousse
(Serves 2-3)
4 egg whites (Or 8tbsp liquid egg whites)
5tsp agave syrup
1tbsp raw cocoa powder
Whip the egg whites in a bowl until stiff peaks form (You could always try holding the bowl over your head and hoping it doesn’t fall out when you think it’s done ;) ). Over a saucepan with water place a heatproof bowl with agave syrup over it until it becomes a bit more runny and whisk in the cocoa powder (If it gets too hot to stick your finger in, it’s no longer raw remember!). Fold the coca mixture into the Egg whites and place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. Divide between two or thee bowls and serve with a little shredded coconut or orange zest on the top :)

Nobody can tell me I’m not good enough when I’m running.

They can’t tell me I’m not pretty enough or smart enough or kind enough.  They can’t measure me in pounds or seconds or grades.  It’s just myself and it’s honestly the only time I feel strong anymore.  Life, become normal again please.

Sugar craving? Sweet craving? Just want a sweet treat?
Today I was feeling a bit all of the above and when afternoon snack time rolled around I managed to reunite all the sweetest, treat-est ingredients and put them in an oatmeal. Well, I wouldn’t call this deliciousness ‘just an oatmeal’ but I ate it before I could even find a definition. 

Chocolate Coconut Oatmeal Dessert Whatever it is it just tastes so good:

2 tbsp oats
1 tbsp dried coconut
1 tbsp cocoa powder

Seriously, this thing is THE BOMB. Definitely the best way I’ve ever gave into my period chocolate cravings.
