Run for Breakfast
October 26, 2009 | Posted by Alison I had a real breakfast crisis on my hands this morning:
Empty banana hammock.
No milk.
Well, I guess that’s not exactly true. There was rice milk that Ava drinks… but umm, in a word – no.
Surely I jest – of course this is far from a real breakfast crisis. But I realized I could remedy this situation with a well planned run this morning.
I took the last couple of bucks out of my wallet, stuffed them into my sports bra and planned my route so I would run about 3 and a half miles and end up at the my little neighborhood grocery store before the final half mile trek home.
The last half mile looked a little like this:

I seriously wonder what my neighbors must think. Hiiiii don’t worry – we’re moving! NO not to the circus.
I need to give a big shout out this morning to the self timer on my camera and the mailbox for helping me take this series of pictures. I couldn’t have done it with you guys, you rock!
(Love that “3 shots” option with the self timer!)
Shake well?
How about a good half mile shake all the way home? Check!
All in the name of toasted apple cinnamon cereal for breakfast.
I am a breakfast nerd, what can I say. No shame, no shame.
My other banana is now snoozing in the banana hammock until some child tells me they want a snack.
And the rice milk has a little friend until I get to the grocery store later today. Unfortunately my little corner grocery store is just that – little. Almond milk isn’t ever in stock, let alone hemp milk. Have no fear, soy milk will do!
Breakfast crisis averted!

You are a serious devotee to the best meal of the day Mama!
I would have just sipped my coffee slower.
but I’m a lazy bum.
and I ALREADY caught your interview with Gena….so ….maybe there’s HOPE!
Happy Monday MORNING.
I’m in a SLUMP! GAW
I’m out of soy milk and about to be out of PB so I see your dilemma. I would have ran to the store too!
i would have just gave up and tried to make something with what i had on hand at home, plus i don’t have a store that close, so i wouldn’t of even been able to do what you did. i wish though!!!!
i read your interview today, loved it as usual!
Love that Hammock, and your run with the milk.. how funny is that!
Glad you got your breakfast yummies and averted the crisis
Aaahhh! Banana hammock, I love it. You are too funny running with groceries, but no bananas is a crisis. One time my ex ate my last banana and I litterally freaked out, like crazy woman freak out.
How I adore you. Running to the grocery store for milk and nanas. You make me smile!
So much less vulgar than the banana in your pocket shot. I’m sure your neighbors thought more of the self-timer photo shoot than the running with groceries.
Thank you for putting the “banana hammock” image in my head prior to eating my breakfast.
ha ha. “empty banana hammock” makes me giggle.

Ummm, one word. Hilarious. Your banana hammock is hilarious. I love your posts M.Weeds. I do.
OMG…I laughed seeing you running with bananas and milk. (haha) Too funny. Only you, Alison.
Cannot wait to read the Gena interview…exciting stuff!

Breakfast is my very favorite meal of the day! Yours looks yummy….
I am so glad to know I am not the only one that uses the self-timer to take pictures of myself LOL!
For some reason the banana hammock makes me laugh! I just realized today that my camera does not have a self timer.
