Food, Running and Bears - Oh my!

Published by rachel18 at 12:32 pm under Uncategorized, food, running Edit This

What’s to say on a day like today?  It’s Friday, I’m running on about 3 hours of interrupted sleep thanks to a massive thunderstorm that ripped over
Michigan last night, and I’m at work.  Yippee. 
I will have you know that I did bring my running clothes and shoes just in case I felt up to doing a short 3 miler after work.  Getting it out of the way this afternoon would be nice, that way I can sleep in a little longer tomorrow.  However, in case I don’t update this blog ever again, it’s because I’ve been attacked and killed by a killer bear.  Yes, there have been bear sightings along a 1.5 mile stretch of my regular running route:

“Police in Harbor Springs say there have been 3 reports of black bear sightings in the last 3 days.One of the reports came from a city in Emmet County. One spotter told 9 and 10 News that the bear broke off a chain to get into a can of sun flower seeds.  Another night, the bear bent a pole to the ground to get into the bird feeder.  The D-N-R says the bears are fresh out hybernation and searching for some food.  They recommend that people on the west side of Harbor Springs remove all bird feeders, grills, and dog food so the bear returns to its natural habitat”.So, um, yeah….  Actually, that’s probably the most action Harbor Springs Police have seen in years.
   

Today for food, well, it’s not that exciting so far at least.

Breakfast – egg, toast with jam, huge bowl of fruit and coffee.  Noticing a trend here?

Lunch is a big Greek salad, and some yogurt

Snack will be watermelon and some toast with peanut butter and jam.

Notice how I said “not exciting yet.”  Yet will be dinner at Legs Inn, one of my favorite places.  It’s so out of the way that we don’t get there all too often, but the food is amazing.  Who knew I’d end up liking Polish food?

And the views from Legs Inn, well, they can’t be beat.
