Getting my run on

I am finally up to 3.17 miles and it feels good. The heat is making it hard to run so this week has been a tough one with only one running day so far but it will be cooling down and I will be hitting the streets again. Wanna join me?

A few failures and a triumph

I have been trying new recipes for a while but I hit a slump with some bad ones. They were really bland and needed something added to them. I plan on trying them again before I put them up. But tonight was a good one.It is called South Pacific Shrimp and you can find the recipe here. The only thing I did differently is instead of peppers I added some japanese hot sauce and still tasted very good. It actually reminded me of a meal that my sister brought back from Thailand for me. All the seasoning was packaged and all I had to do was buy coconut milk and chicken and some eggplant. We put it over rice, I prefer brown rice but we didnt have enough so we put it over white rice. Very good.

On the Running Front

I ran 2.83 miles last week. My goal is 3 miles and I am so close. Unfortunately I got pretty sick this week and am still getting my strength back so I had not run since last Wednesday. Today my dear friend and cheerleader Trish got me to run two miles. It was hard since it had been over a week but I finished the two miles and now its time to get to 3. Hopefully by the end of next week. Run run run!
