boring lunches - help!

Hi, this is my first post so please help me out!

i've recently started running and need more interesting (and more importantly healthy) ideas for lunch - i work in an office and normally have a boring roll, yoghurt, fruit etc. Hopefully some of you can give me some inspiration for more exciting and tasty lunchtimes! thanks

Why not knock up some pasta at home and have it cold at lunchtime.

I don't know how you feel about sweet potatos but they make a nice change from the humble spud and offer more nutrional variety.

Yes you just cook them like normal spuds but they cook slighty quicker. I might have to get one tomorrow now.
