Baked at 400 for about 10 minutes or so.\u00a0 I shared that plate with Scott! Even though I could have, I did not eat that whole thing. <img src='\/images\/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' \/> Then I zonked out!<\/p>\n<p>I got such a late start this morning and now I feel like I&#8217;m running around like a chicken with my head cut off. :\/\u00a0 I busted butt and did a 4 mile run. My pace is still slow as hell and I really need to work on making that better. Lordy! While the weather was still clear, I took Rocks out for his walk and thankfully the rain held off.<\/p>\n<p>Back home and stretched! I wanted coffee immediately and did not want to wait for after my shower.\u00a0 I woke Scott up and then had a twist on breakfast.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7165\" title=\"Coffee, scone, yogurt and granola \" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/ohc-07-22-09_breakfast-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Coffee, scone, yogurt and granola \" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/ohc-07-22-09_breakfast-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/ohc-07-22-09_breakfast.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Last night we were provided with some fabbo scones as we were leaving the party!\u00a0 I had 1\/2 a pumpkin scone (so good!) and a small bowl of yogurt.<\/p>\n<p>2% Fage+chocolate granola+frozen raspberries+cranberries = goodness!<\/p>\n<p>I did stuff in the office and gave a friend my word that I would help them out with a project.
