Happy New Week! Well, technically it’s Tuesday but yesterday was Martin Luther King Day and I had it off so it feels like today is the start of the week.
I did a lot of stuff this weekend. If you missed my posts here are some links to get caught up.
- The Frost or Fog 5k in Chico, I got 4th!!!
- Paradise, Ca (it’s literally a real place) and wine tasting
- This week’s inTUEative Tuesday Post
I made some killer healthy pancakes this morning!
Banana Bread Protein Pancakes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Keywords: fry breakfast dairy-free gluten-free banana
Ingredients (2 large pancakes)
- 1/4 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp gluten free baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon/sugar mixture or 1 tsp of each
- 1 ripe banana (the more ripe the better)
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Mash together until batter becomes smooth. Go with your own taste on how smooth you’d like your banana. Chunks vs. Smooth…. it’s a tough call.
Pour batter onto a preheated griddle. I made 2 large pancakes but minis would be fun too.
Heat until partially cooked and flip. Once golden brown put on a plate and enjoy.

I topped mine with peanut butter for some added protein. I figured if I was going there why not go all the way?! These pancakes are pretty hearty. Definitely eat ‘em on an empty stomach!
I also had a cup of Teeccino and soymilk.
Weekly Workout Plan!
Here’s what’s on my plan for this week.
- Monday: Stretch and Strengthen
- Tuesday: 3.5 mile run
- Wednesday: 2 mile run or cross training
- Thursday: 3.5 mile run and strengthen
- Friday: REST
- Saturday: 40 minutes cross training
- Sunday: 5 miles
I skipped yesterday’s strengthen so I’ll have to put it in after one of my runs this week. Probably tomorrow after my easy 2 miles. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve never ran 5 miles all at once and it seems so scary!! When I played college basketball my coach had us run 5 miles every day during the summer to stay conditioned but I had a mental block about 5 miles so I did 3 in the morning and 2-3 at night every day. I don’t know, it’s got me kinda wigged out…
Last Week’s Workout Recap!
I’m logging all my training and miles on The Daily Mile. I’ve used it a little in the past but never consistently so I was so surprised when I saw me weekly recap stats e-mail in my inbox. Look at what I did.
If that’s not motivation I don’t know what is! I had a Rockin’ Training Week.
If you use The Daily Mile search for Maren Kennedy and become my friend! I’d love to send you lots of motivation!!
tell me about you!! I want to know……
What get’s you motivated?!
I really like surprise colorful e-mails.
Would you ever go into say Starbucks or any other quick stop type place in your PJ’s?
Yes… it’s been done many times before.
