A Tale of 3 Runners 13.1

Camera was forgotten today :(  and lunch was so delicious!  I had a flat out wrap with sabra pinenut hummus, spinach, leftover asian veggies from last night, one large bunny carrot, kashi sesame honey crackers and a black bean brownie!  Yes those guys are still kicking around in the freezer.

BIGGER NEWS THEN THE FOOD TODAY IS THAT, IN 3 CITIES 3 LADIES WILL BE TRAINING FOR 1/2 MARATHONS TOGETHER.  My friend Katherine (and lovely LIZ) will be training in Boston for the Plymouth 1/2 and Jen will be training in DC for the Baltimore 1/2.  I will be training in Baltimore for the Baltimore 1/2.

IMG_2981This is Jen climbing into the tailgate at homecoming, most likely for some cranberry dip.  We are real people, and she has actually the most running experience!

IMG_1051This is Katherine and I in Maine summer 2006.

So I never thought I would be one to run a half marathon, but part of the course goes almost right by my house and I need a goal.  The Baltimore race in Oct. 8th, Katherine will be running in Sept.  I have created a training plan and am super excited.  Any advice is greatly appreciated!  My training doesn’t start for another 2 weeks so I am going to stick to my normal workouts until then but try to do more outdoor running.

SO for today – 3mile outdoor run followed by Body Pump Action!!!!

Dinner was another new squash.

IMG_4216Anyone know the name of this one?  Almost a round zucchini.  I cut this little sucker up into rounds and coated one side in cooked quinoa, curry, cloves, parsley, thyme, and oregano.  I baked it for 20min.  Along with some sweet potato fries with goat cheese dip!  I love sweet potatoes in goat cheese!  I just added a some skim milk to make it creamy.

IMG_4217IMG_4220If this wasn’t enough, Nick and I spilt a large salad with FM lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes from the garden and purple peppers.

IMG_4218my sweet end was a vanilla meringue.

Off to hangout with Nick and dream about running 13.1 miles!  Ah so far, so crazy!

Tomorrow is Friday! yayay!!!


Sunny Ending

Well another weekend has come to an end…:(  Nick is back yay!

My roomate and her cousin watched “He’s not that into you”  it seems to be the chick flick of the week.  I wish they would make one of the men out to be as desperate as the girls.

To accompany the movie I had some wine and goat cheese on Tjs multigrain crackers.

IMG_3572Yumers!  I loooooove goat cheese.  I had to portion it out as to not eat the whole log up!

I had some tofu I need to eat and I wanted to have some spinach and snap peas from the market.  I went with some jar curry  paste on a pouch on the grill.

To the above ingredients I added brussel sprouts, and onions and a little polenta cake.
