Meatless Any Day of the Week

Before I tell you about the best EVER meatless recipe, I have to tell you how great this summer has been for running. The weather has been pretty darned perfect. Sure it’s been hot but my body has adjusted. There has been no excuse to run on the treadmill. Speed work, one day a week, has been bearable. The long runs haven’t been so awful (maybe because I’ve been running those long miles so slow). My mid range run has been the most enjoyable run of all. I’ve approached races with an easy mind and minimal anxiety. It’s been good. [...]

Beet-Edamame Salad with Honey Yogurt and Chive

The weather Wednesday night wasn’t promoting any eagerness from Ted nor I for the Ride of Silence. We sat in the car for an hour watching as more cyclists gathered in the parking lot of the New Hartford Recreation Center. The police showed up to lead the way. Just before 7pm, we assembled to hear about the history of the Ride of Silence. There were so many cyclists. It stopped raining when it was time to begin the 10 mile ride down Genesee Street and all around the main roads of Utica. The police stopped traffic. Not a peep was [...]

Edamame and Sweet Potato with Feta

Adjusting the schedule for the anticipated weather, I did my 15 mile run today. 15.23 miles at an average pace of 9.73. I felt good and decided instead of the scheduled 75 minute run, I’d go for the long haul today. So 11 treadmill miles and 4.23 road miles, not bad and I’m saving my legs by getting part of the run done on the mill. When the warmer weather hits, I’ll be doing more road miles so I’m in no hurry. Short recap of the run: At mile 2.75 my leg energy kicked in and I found my gate. [...]

Finally working – Day 1 Key West

Finally got that silly Eye Fi card up and working. It wasn't the cards problem it was mine. Where I left off, we were eating at Charlotte waiting for our 1:35 pm flight. That flight turned into a 2:40pm flight. Bummer. We arrived in Key West at about 4:30 pm. The airport is SO tiny that we were able to grab the luggage, get a taxi and out the door in 15 minutes. Anxious to get to Finnegan's Wake for the Super Bowl festivities, we cleaned up, changed and flew out the door. It was about a 15 minute walk [...]

That was accompanied by Baked Zucchini slices with tomatoes. Here's the whole scoop.
