I ran in the Flying Pig Marathon yesterday as part of a relay team.  I had not run more than a mile in over six months, and my leg of the relay was just shy of six miles.

Let me just say… I am so dang sore. Ain’t nobody’s fault but my own.  About two miles in the realization hit that “yea this is going to hurt when I am done”.  Though it was a tough run, it was a beautiful run.  As I was running along with hundreds of people around me, running, cheering, handing out water, I thought to myself, what a wonderful experience.  The sky was clear blue, the temperature was cool, and I was surrounded by happiness and encouragement.  It really was uplifting.  I haven’t run in an organized race in several years, and I forgot the wonderfulness of the experience.

I would highly recommend experiencing it for yourself you haven’t had the honor. As a walker, 5k, 10k, half or whole being part of such a great experience is something I wish for all of you.

After running in a race I always want coffee and breakfast after. A good gooey egg, with a crusty bread kind of breakfast, and this breakfast is that.

I think everyone loves a delicious breakfast.  You know what everyone loves more? A delicious breakfast that is easy to put together.

This breakfast is delicious, fabulous if you have a crusty slice of bread to dip in and crunch on.

  1. Have you ever made this as one bigger dish (instead of individual ramekins)? Looks so yummy but wondered if I could do it for a larger crowd… 🤔
