Redeeming Run & Grilling Out

Redeeming Run
Today turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous, sunny day. For a change we didn't have winds gusting hard enough to nudge you over just standing. Of course this meant a run. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity.

I will admit that I was honestly nervous about running today. Saturday's windy, humid, hot run kind of scarred me a bit. I know it's a little silly, but if you run and have had a bad one, then you know how it goes.

Thankfully, I had a redeeming 6.5 mile run. It was a little warm, but the breeze was just about perfect. It was a little strong on the return, but I was getting pretty warm and didn't mind at that point. 

I got home, stretched and rolled on my Triggerpoint Therapy Kit. Luckily, I had no pain during my run other than a little bit of calf tightness.

Grilling Out
Since it was so nice out, we decided we needed to grill. We had plenty of veggies. I was opting for a Grilled Veggie & Tempeh Salad and Jason was wanting a Grilled Veggie Sandwich. Either way you couldn't go terribly wrong of course.

I ended up grilling red and green bell peppers, squash, and zucchini. I grilled sweet potato "fries" for the side. For the sandwiches, I made up a really quick and easy roasted red bell pepper hummus, melted some almond cheese and added some spinach, serving on Ezekiel bread.
 

This was a nice, summer-time meal. The Ezekiel bread worked really well for this grilled sandwich too. It held up nicely. I always hate it when the bread gets soggy and falls apart.

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th...

Vacation Day 2 - Running, Reading, Relaxing

Running This morning I woke up a bit before 7 am. Of course, we had gone to sleep by 9....on vacation no less. I had thought I might try for an outdoor run, but the temps were already a humid 83 degrees by 8 am. So, I took my run to the treadmill. I had the Food Network to keep me occupied for a pretty decent 5 mile run. Running and watching tv isn't so bad ;-) I did 3 miles, then 4 1:00 athletic intervals then finished up another mile to round it out to and even 5. After stretching and rolling (yep, brought my TriggerPoint kit ), we packed up the cooler with lunch and headed down to the beach. Not a bad way to start the day if you ask me. Beach Time & Stair Cardio We set up our little umbrella camp and proceeded to just relax. I was excited to start one of the books I brought along with me: Alice Sebold's The Almost Moon . I've read her memoir, Lucky , and her first work of fiction, The Lovely Bones . . We were out for a few hours before taking a break. ...
