Thought I’d forgotten to share a recipe, didn’t-cha? This soup deserves it’s own post (separate from this week in training). It’s a Chicken -pea and Wild Rice Soup. Even the Soup Nazi would stand in line for a bowl. So Yum. So chock-full of wild rice, vegetables, and those powerful chickpeas. Chickpea Wild Rice Soup: 1.5 c cooked wild…
Houston, we have lift-off. “Really, Mama, with obstacles so primed for climbing, you’re making this way too easy for me…and chewing on your shoes from the floor? Simple. I need a new vantage point.” The pendulum is swinging in our house. I’m toning down my activity and Baby Boy is revving his engine more each day. Crawling is awesome; picking up…
Kale pie? Huh?!Okay, really, it’s a quiche. Same diff. If you have a hard time choking down a large quantity of greens, here’s an alternative to kale salads, kale chips, kale smoothies and the like. Kale Pie: 1 single 9-10 inch pie crust 3-4 large kale leaves, stem removed and chopped 1 medium onion, sliced…
These days I’m not exactly bringing in the big bucks since my working hours are spent raising this baby into a boy. Time well spent. Marathon training is a lot like a savings account. With some careful planning, patience and hard work, ideally you’ll eventually garner adequate funds to draw from when the time is…
Happy belated Halloween to you. We enjoyed baked buttercup squash and apples on Halloween. Yum. I hoped I might have a profound recipe to share with you incorporating buttercup. Love it. But instead I thought I should mention that for the past several long runs, I’ve put down some chia “energy gel” before heading out on the run. Chia is…
I felt the residual effects of an intense race all last week, so week 7 was sort of hard. All of the runs went okay but mostly just okay. I know I’m in the toughest period of the training, so it’s good to remind myself that it’s okay for things to feel hard. Also good to remind myself…
Ending last week with what felt like a bum foot was not ideal, but, as expected, a little time away was just the medicine these bones needed. A weekend of friends, family, rest, restorative sleep, and saunaing (in a handmade-homemade northern Minnesota sauna) and I’m as good as new. We did a good deal of…
“Roll with the punches.” This is week 9’s mantra. I’m feeling the ebb and flow of training. Had a decent start to the week with a tough run on Tuesday. (Please, read back a couple of posts for training abbreviations). Marathon Training Week 9: Monday: 9 E Tuesday: 15 (8.5 E + 6 T(6:40) +…
As I mentioned last week, I am aiming at a December 2013 marathon. I’m going to try and post a recipe and a marathon training summary each week. My hope is that I’ll paint you a better picture of my training and an idea of how to, or not to, train for a marathon. Plus,…
Did you know key lime pie traditionally consists of key limes, sweetened condensed milk, and raw egg yolks? It’s not cooked because a reaction between the acidity of the juice and the eggs causes the filling to thicken without heat. I think we can improve upon the healthiness of this tradition. Don’t-cha think? Also, I previously blogged about a Raw Coconut Key Lime Tarte,…
