In a recent post, I had to type up a brief healthy carbs list, giving a few examples of those “good” carbs we should include with our regular eats.

I got a few down and then got stuck. I didn’t want to keep listing whole-wheat pasta, whole-wheat bread, whole-wheat crackers, etc.

While whole-wheat foods are less processed and better for you (more fiber, more nutrients, less of a blood sugar boost, and longer-lasting energy), they still are processed. Dough is mixed with additives and preservatives before being baked.

This got me curious about the carbs that are actually unprocessed. Or at the very least, not so processed as breads, crackers, and the like.

Running can be a real party pooper some days, am I right?

When you’ve selected running as your go-to workout, there will inevitably be days when it sounds like zero fun. The monotony of pavement pounding and unrelenting boredom…mixed with labored breathing and pain, and I can’t fault you for not enjoying it. The thought of a run is usually enough to make most people visually grimace.

Even if you enjoy running for the physical and mental benefits, you’ve definitely had days when running sounded like the last activity you wanted to do.
