This is one of my running partners, Jack. He and I have logged hundreds of miles together over the past 5 years…. he’s even done some 13 milers with me! All I have to say is, “wanna go for a run?” and he’s pouncing all over the place with his tail a waggin’!!
I make these eggs, I call them protein eggs and my husband has nicknamed them… Prison Eggs! (apparently because they’re light in color) Jack and I have this deal… when we get home from a run, I make the eggs and he gets a yolk omelet out of the leftovers! Perfect…. 30g of protein for me (hardly any fat or cholesterol) and a shiny coat for him (thanks to the yolks!)
Protein eggs and Whole Wheat toast (don’t you love that butter spray? I do with a little honey!)

Jack… very excited for his treat!
These are good with your favorite salsa on top! Eggs are a relatively cheap form of protein… I buy them 5 dozen at a time. I didn’t realize the important roll that proteins play in the recovery process (after all I’m a true carb lover at heart!)….it’s crucial for rebuilding muscles. When I started running longer distances and doing some weight lifting, I learned that protein and a whole grain carb are a great combo for speedy muscle recovery! I actually prefer these eggs to normal scrambled at this point. Hope you all have a wonderful morning….
Our new puppy, Lila, asleep on my running shoes…
She and I go for walks… she makes it about a block!!
