I had a great workout this morning. To be honest, it really wasn’t anything special, but I was just feelin’ it! Perhaps the butter and cream from last night’s lobster mac is the pre-workout dinner of champions! 
My workout began with 10 minutes on the stair master before I hopped on the treadmill to complete this 25 minute workout:
| Minutes | Incline | Pace |
| 0 – 5 | 10.0 | 4.0 |
| 5 – 10 | 1.0 | 6.7 |
| 10 – 15 | 10.0 | 4.0 |
| 15 – 20 | 1.0 | 6.7 |
| 20 – 25 | 8.0 | 4.0 |
I loved this workout because I wasn’t really in the mood to run, so by the time I got sick of running, it was time to do some incline walking again. Then, by the time I was over incline walking, it was time to run. Perfecto!
I finished my workout with 15 minutes on the elliptical before sprinting home in the pouring rain.
Unfortunately the torrential downpour nixed my morning walk with Sadie, so I’m giving her extra lovin’ on the couch… plus a couple of Beggin’ Strips which I sadly think she prefers to my cuddles.
The Beggin’ Strips are actually a distraction to keep her grubby little paws off my breakfast…
Breakfast
Another day, another version of my all-time favorite breakfast bagelwich!
Woo!
This morning’s creation included a toasted Thomas’ cinnamon raisin bagel thin, topped with Swiss cheese, raspberry jelly and nectarine slices.
I love this breakfast!
Now I’m waiting for the pest control guy to stop by our apartment. He’s running a little late and I gotta get to work. C’mon guy!
I love workouts like that! It’s definitely nice to mix up inclines/speeds to make the time go by!
Ali @ Ali Runs
What a yummy breakfast! I love melted cheese on a bagel. It always tastes amazing. Love the closeup picture of Sadie. Looking cute as always
Hope
I am determined to try lobster mac. I’ll take the stomach discomfort…it looks SO GOOD haha
I hope you’re feeling better, though! 
My dog would definitely prefer Beggin Strips over a walk in the rain + my cuddles…dogs will be dogs.
Happy Thursday!
Meg
Do you live close enough to the gym to walk? If so that’s awesome!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat
yep! it’s literally a 1.5 minute walk.
we’re spoiled.
peanutbutterfingers
Wow, I would love that!!
Amber K
I’m doing 2 workouts today to compensate from the outrageously gigantic meal I had last night! hehe But it was all worth it
I heard the weather is gonna be bad today, it’s gonna hit us in South Florida later today…but it’s gonna be perfect weather this weekend!!
Natalie @ Will Jog For Food
Your breakfast looks delicious, and that is the CUTEST picture of Sadie!!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
Seems like the rain is hitting a bunch of us lately! Ready for some sun again!
kristy @ kristyruns
Love the Sadie nose pic!! And the cheese on that sandwich.. mmm… cheese.
Brittany (A Healthy Slice of Life)
The cheese on that sandwich frightens me, but my friend tried it out and said it’s actually really good. Maybe I’ll be brave enough to try it someday.
Paula @ Eat: Watch: Run
I love that close-up shot of Sadie – great start to the day!
Have a great Thursday, Julie!
Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles
I could so go for a nectarine right now. I love fruit with cheese, though I’ve never tried it with nectarines (mainly because I can’t help biting into those whole).
Tracey @ I’m Not Superhuman
Fruit with cheese is so good, and I need to try it on a bagel sandwich! I think about that every time I see your breakfast post.
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete
Just wanted to tell you that I made those chocolate oatmeal cookies last night – had a hankering for dessert and had all the ingredients in the house – they were great! Thanks for the recipe
Amanda
That workout looks awesome! And so does your breakfast. Yummmm!
Sarah Westbrook
Your lunch yday got me craving a noodle bowl. I just made some for dinner & it totally hit the spot
Khushboo
NICE workout! ilove walking/running intervals but at 4 im still slowly joggin!- im short
have a beautiful day!
Carrie
I think you have sold me on that breakfast sandwich. I’m gonna give ‘er a try!
I think I’ll be trying out that interval workout at the gym tonight also!
Lindz @ Happy or Hungry?
If the Lobster Mac was fab fuel, maybe you should look into the Krispy Kreme Challenge?! You only have to scarf a dozen Krispy Kreme’s half-way through the race…no biggie. ; )
FunnerRunner
Have you ever heard of the H.I.I.T. treadmill workout? My hubby and I just started it this Monday. No incline, but it’s a seriously intense interval workout in 29 minutes. I think you’d enjoy it!
Annie
I really need to try a different treadmill workout mine is getting pretty dull! Those nectarines look so good.
Rachel @ Grateful Girl Goes Gluten Free
So glad that you had a great workout!!!
That breakfast sandwich is makin’ me hungry! =D
Gen
I love interval workouts for that exact reason! I get so bored running on the treadmill – so if I get to switch it up every few minutes, it makes it so much better
Colleen @ The Lunchbox Diaries
I did a similar workout this morning too
I LOOVE intervals because it keeps boredom at bay–have a good one- hope that pest guy comes quickly
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife
The pest control guy is ALWAYS late for me! I think it’s a common thing among them!
Katy (The Singing Runner)
I totally wrote down that treadmill workout- thanks for sharing!! We are getting lots and lots of rain in NY too- boo!!
Alicia
Yum–I have to try that breakfast sandwich combo! Sounds delicious!!
Stefanie @TheNewHealthy
yep, it’s raining here in british columbia as i type this! i also completed an interval work out this morning – your mantras in a previous post REALLY helped me! i wrote them out and pinned them to the back of my door.
ps, that breakfast sandwich looks amazing! i’m going to have to find me some bagel thins!
Holly
I recently found your blog and love it! Thanks for the great workouts too … I did the 40 min interval treadmill workout this morning!
Daina
Sounds like you had a great workout regardless of the lack of energy… that’s how i’m feeling today for my workout. But i’m going to go, regardless!
Allison@ Happy Tales
Love your interval workouts! It definitely fights boredom and makes time fly by, and still build up a sweat! That breakfast sandwich looks delicious
Jackie @ Seejacrun
The exercise motto you posted the other day – your just one workout away from a good mood. This got me going this morning to workout.
Lauren
I don’t know about butter and cream but I ate two candy bars yesterday and had the best workout I’ve had in a LONG time afterwards. I think that means I should eat candy every day.
Hope the pest guy showed up!
Kacy
Fruit and cheese is so yummy together. I make goat cheese and green apple paninis all the time.
Chelsa
I always love your breakfasts they look so good! First time commenter here, but thanks for the great treadmill workout!
Chelsea J

What pesky critters you got running around there?
Amy at TheSceneFromMe
