A Busy Meal Product Review

Another running day but the morning weather was crapola so I ran on the treadmill. I had enough running in the rain last Saturday. The recap: 4.6 miles on the T/M which included 6 strides at the end. Back, shoulders, and abs with the weights. Since tonight’s class (First Aid) might go until 10 pm, I wanted to make sure I could grab an extra half an hour or so sleep in the morning. Thursday, I will only have aerobics (running) and no weight workout. As for poor Shane, we had to brave the weather because he needed to go [...]

Canyon Ranch Vegan Cookies

We keep making appointments with contractors and if its not contractors then it’s work. This morning was spent doing an aggressive 15 minutes of rowing and 45 minutes on the elliptical. It was nice to have a non- [...]

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. [...]
