Today’s Workout: 4.75 miles on the AlterG treadmill, PT exercises
Before I get into anything else, I want to share with you all an easy, quick, and tasty recipe I made for breakfast the other day! Being off from school has allowed me to try out cool recipes and actually eat a real breakfast (instead of my normal on-the-go Clif bar). I love doing this and wish I could do it all the time but somehow get paid handsomely 
In my dreams!
Light Spinach and Feta Veggie Frittata
*This feeds ~2 people. Adjust ingredients as needed for more people!
Ingredients:
- 1 eggs and 6 egg whites, beaten together
- Light or fat-free Feta Cheese (I used TJs fat free feta)
- 1 small potato, chopped
- 1/2 bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 red onion
- 1/4 cup frozen spinach, drained
- Black pepper & salt
- 1 teaspoon light butter
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to broil setting.
2. In a bowl, use a fork to blend together the egg and egg whites, pepper and salt for seasoning.
3. Heat a non-stock, oven safe skillet (I used a 9.5 inch diameter pan) over medium-high heat. Add light butter to the pan and melt.
4. Add potato and saute about 5 minutes (you may have to cover the pan to help potatoes cook on the inside). Add the onion and pepper to the pan and cook until all three vegetables reach desired softness.
5. Mix in the spinach and cook until warm. Pour egg mixture into pan and stir with wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the mixture is spread out evenly between vegetables.
6. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the mixture sets on the bottom and begins to set on the top. Sprinkle the feta cheese on top of the mixture as it sets.
7. Place the entire pan into oven and broil for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned on top.
8. Cut, serve, and enjoy!

Today was day 2 of the 2012 Runner’s World Summer Running Streak. I spoke about it before, but basically the challenge is to run everyday, at least one mile a day, from Memorial Day to July 4. Yesterday was my 4 mile race and today I did 4.75 miles on the Alter G antigravity treadmill at physical therapy. I love that thing! If only I could run at 70% of my body weight all the time. It was a very pleasant run and I watched a daytime show “The Revolution”, hosted by Tim Gunn. It was the first time I’ve ever seen this show and it was interesting for the treadmill but in my opinion.. its not really DVR-worthy.
I also got some great deliveries in the mail recently: Nuun tablets and Sweat Pink swag!
In case you don’t know about Nuun, according to the website it is “a family of drink tabs that help you drink more water so you can feel good and keep going all day.” Basically Nuun is little tablets that you put into 16 oz of water that give it a flavor and help you stay hydrated (because you are drinking water) and energized (because it includes vitamins). And it tastes good!
The beauty of Nuun
I’ve tried a few flavors and love it! I don’t drink coffee so some mornings I’ll have this to wake me up when I’m super tired. And it works for me, I always feel energized and alert after drinking it. Plus, I’m basically attached at the hip to my water bottle during the day so this is a nice way to get some flavor in there (without the sugar or carbonation). I also drink it before, during, and/or after workouts to keep hydrated, replenish electrolytes, and to prevent cramps.
I can’t wait to try out all the other flavors too. Love me some Nuun.
I have a few giveaways coming up and one of them will be some Sweat Pink laces to a few readers. They are super cute and pink (my favorite color) which you will love! Stay posted for a few giveaways in the future, I have to set them up first.
Have you ever tried Nuun? Favorite flavor?
Did those doing the RW Summer Run streak run today?
Sweat Pink Ambassadors: Do you love your swag as much as I do?!!
That frittata looks delicious! I have had Nuun before. It helped me through one summer I kept getting heat stoke. Very replenishing!
It is very good.. Worth trying! Nuun is the best, glad it got you through that, heat stroke is no joke!
I drink so much Nuun. I even got the BF hooked on it. Love it!
Awesome!! Luckily my boyfriend didn’t like the blueberry one which means I don’t have to worry about him taking mine
I LOVE Nuun! I just picked up their Tropical flavor and really really like it!
Thats the first one I ever bought and I love it!! I’ve been drinking that during runs
So good!
I LOVE healthy recipes. Thank you for sharing!! What is the difference with the All Day Nuun and the regular Nuun? Is it the Vitamins? I need to check that out.
Cute tank top!! Pink & Black is my favorite color combination.
I think the Nuun All Day is more for regular activities and just hydration/getting vitamins during the day, whereas the regular Nuun is more for high energy activities such as running. So the regular Nuun provides more electrolytes and ingredients to replenish highly active muscles (thats my understanding).
Black and pink is the best
I’m also a big fan.
I can’t drink nuun! I’m the only one I know of, but it makes me so sick! They taste really good though:)
Oh no that stinks, I wonder why it makes you sick
Thats okay, regular water is good too!
i’ve only ever had one nuun sample tablet that i got at a race and it was lemon lime…i didn’t like it tho, but i’m convinced it was just the flavor..i’ll have to try something different..tropical sounds delish! and yes totally LOVE the pink swag
Maybe it was the flavor! I’m not usually a lemon lime person in general either. The tropical is good!
I love nunn!! Grape and strawberry lemonade are my favorite. I just stocked up!!
I forgot about the running streak starting on Memorial Day, we got back from camping on Monday and I never looked at my calendar.
I love pink! How can I sweat pink??
I haven’t tried those flavors yet, I’ll have to get them! I usually like strawberry flavors so I’m sure I’ll love em.
You can always start the running streak now
Its not too far off! You can apply to be a Sweat Pink Ambassador at fitapproach.com ! I think they are taking applications again in July 
The frittata looks tasty! I haven’t tried nuun yet but I’d like to since I’ve heard so many good things about it and get bored of just drinking water.
I’ve been doing good with the RWRunStreak although, I’m sure it will only get tougher as it goes on!
Thats one of the reasons I drink it, it really spruces up plain water and makes me drink more than I usually do. Try it!
I agree, the first 3 days were okay but as it goes on and on it will get harder. We will have to keep each other motivated!
I work from home so anytime you’d like to come make me breakfast – let me know LOL.
I need to try nunn when I start running again. I am trying to get a Xray today to determine what is wrong with me. Yikes!
Haha I can whip up a mean egg!
Definitely try some Nuun, its great! Its awesome on hot, humid days when I’m sweating to death.
Good luck today with the Xray! I hope its nothing serious thats wrong and its a quick fix!
You look so cute in your tank!! So glad to have you on this team of kickass ladies
Thanks!! So glad to be a part of the team
I’m so thrilled!!
Love Nuun!! We’ve tried almost every flavor and love them all!! I don’t think we would like banana though. We can’t wait to try the Nuun All Day!
I don’t think I would try banana either, or straight-up grape flavor (I’ve never been a fan). But so far I’m loving Nuun
I like the lemon-lime! But I’ve also only ever tried the lemon- lime & the grape. The blueberry pomegranate sounds excellent! Definitely gonna have to order some of the new flavors to try!
Go for it!! They are pretty good so far. I have to get more of the regular Nuun though for my workouts. I’ll have to pick up some lemon-lime!
