Dinner: Turkey burger on a bun and 2 dark chocolate granola thins
Evening Run: 4 miles and the last mile was with heartburn that hurt like heck. Sidelined me at the end and have never had that happen before. I blame it on the above meal. After the run, we met at Tannin's for a glass of red wine.

Sunday, August 26th
Breakfast: OatFit Oatmeal
LONG RUN and it FELT GREAT! - 17 miles; It rained probably 15 of the 17 miles...no joke.
Yep, I'm a dork and had my pic taken. I was a wet mess.
Lunch: PB&J, peaches mixed with cottage cheese, and milk
Dinner: We had the Tough Mudder crew over for a pre-race pow wow. We checked out the ridiculously hard obstacles we will overcome during the 11 miles of torture (I mean, fun!) Later that night, I read a review and the guy talked about a surprise obstacle they had on the course. Check this out...so obviously during this race we will have scrapes and cuts on ourselves. Well, apparently, during his race the surprise obstacle was a pit of habanero peppers that people have to jump in. Add that to cuts and scrapes and holy wowza! That's gonna sting and burn like a mutha! I believe that sounds worse than the electric shock therapy obstacle we may also endure. This is gonna be interesting! That will be a great blog to post for sure!
I had 3 pieces of pizza; tomato salad; pita chips and hummus; a few tortilla chips and salsa; 1 piece of zucchini bread, and some great Trader Joe's desserts. I drank 1 Leine's Summer Shandy.
The Girls who will be Tough Mudding in a couple weeks!
Monday, August 27th
Breakfast: OatFit Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal; coffee with the fixin's
Workout: I taught Tabata Boot Camp today and did the workout with a friend (and client)!
Lunch: A seafood 'n crab salad with veggies, spices, and a bit of oil and vinegar; green tea
Snack: Apple
Dinner: Have I mentioned that I got a new oven!!!! Yes, Halleluia! I made a pork 'n pasta dish this evening that was great. I found the recipe in a comfort food cookbook I own. I was born and raised in Iowa, so comfort food is must in this house:)
Here you go...it's got some great recipes!
So I ate the pork dish, made a lettuce, spinach, and kale salad (cranberries, candied walnuts, golden tomato slices, mango chipotle dressing) and had a glass of milk. The darn desserts were leftover from last night, so of course, I had dessert and a couple bites of Caramel Caribou ice cream.
Alrighty, I went over the 4 weeks I promised. I'll continue to post a few days here and there and will also include a few more of my workouts as well! Keep journaling if it's working for you!
