The weather has been unfortunately miserable with daily rain showers plaguing Toronto. In addition to putting a damper on everyone’s mood, poor weather conditions also makes training for a 10k rather difficult. Regardless, I will still be participating in the Toronto Yonge St. 10k next weekend. Do you have any tips for a 10k first timer? I took advantage of the sunny weather today and ran 6k this morning in High Park. To prepare further, I will do the following:
- Limit alcohol consumption this week
- Food swaps (substituting unhealthy foods with more nutritional alternatives)
- Drink fewer soft drinks (I will be keeping a tally Monday-Sunday)
- Try new foods
- Stop skipping breakfast (This has always been a goal of mine; I did pretty well last week, but ended up skipping breakfast on Friday. This week I want to make sure I eat a healthy breakfast each morning)
Last week, I focused on stretching, upping my fruit intake, consuming more vitamins and minerals (especially calcium), creating new playlists and using my Nike+ Sportwatch more. In addition, i also had some great meals!
Grilled Cheese: Goat cheese, avocado, kale and sundried tomatoes
Veggie Plate: Steamed kale and broccoli topped with roasted matchstick carrots, red onion, zucchini, tomato and eggplant. Served with a Yves Veggie Burger- no bun and dipped in hot sauce.
Scrambled Eggs: Two eggs scrambled with cherry tomatoes, basil and kale. Served with a Yves Canadian bacon slice.

Great goals for the week! I have a few healthy breakfast recipes on my blog if you want to give them a shot. I love baked oatmeal and I have two of my favorite varieties up (banana bread and apple pie). Good luck with your 10K, I have one on the 28th and I’m hoping our weather will turn around as well.
Thanks I will definitely check out your recipes! Good luck on your 10k as well!
