As much as I’ve always wanted to be a morning runner, I just can’t seem to drag myself out of bed at 6 a.m. I really envy those that do–but for me, the 6 p.m. run is much more doable. The only problem with running in the evening is that it cuts into dinnertime. And, being a dietitian who constantly thinks about food, I get ornery when dinner is pushed back. That’s why I love the premise of a sheet pan dinner. Cooking everything on one pan in roughly the amount of time that it takes me to stretch and shower after a run is a win-win. These bloggers are helping out all the nighttime runners by sharing healthy sheet pan recipes that can be made any night of the week.
