who needs to buy bowls?

So... I have breaking news! I'm sure the world will be fascinated and intrigued that I, Kaileigh, am healing alas! Hallelujah! I was able to jog (slowly) thirty minutes straight yesterday morning, which was SIGNIFICANTLY better than three days prior, in which I could only run fifteen to twenty. Afterwards, I immediately iced my hip and repaired those broken-down cells (because working out kills cells) with simple carbohydrates- fruit! I made myself a cute little fruit bowl and gobbled it up. It feels so great to eat delicious food and have it heal you at the same time! Here's what I did:

Recovery fruit bowl:

  1. cut a mango in half and cut out the pit (kinda tough- use a smaller, sharp knife!)
  2. take a handful or two of fresh or frozen blueberries and fill the divot in one half of the mango
  3. top the fruit bowl with shredded coconut and cinnamon
  4. eat with a spoon and enjoy!
I've noticed that eating the red and blue berries right after running, I'm better-able to recover and my next work out is noticeably better than the last... which is AMAZING news for me, since I'm going on my eighth week of hip-flexor recovery. So, eat your fruit!
