Week in Review

59 Miles
6 Runs
3 Mile Tempo Fail
14 Mile Long Run

Supplemental:
2 Lift Sessions
60 Min MOGA Deep Stretch
60 Min Foam Rolling

This week wasn't exactly what I was looking for in quality running.  The fluctuations in temperature and humidity had a negative impact on my body.  As a result, I performed dismally in my what-was-to-be a five mile tempo.  On Saturday, I was hoping to do 2 miles uptempo, but the fastest I got was around 6:45.  We ran the entire long run around 7-715, so perhaps my legs were just tired in general from my first race in over three months.  Fortunately, my mileage has been consistent and I look forward to continuing this upward mileage trend.  What I love about running 60 miles a week is that it is so entireably manageable.  I felt like taking a day off on Monday.  I did.  It's amazing how running fewer miles makes me feel like I have so much more time!

In unrelated running updates, Garrett and I continue to explore our options for post-graduate studies.  Garrett is taking 12 hours a semester to reach the pre-requisite requirements for Physical Therapy and I'm researching part-time MBA programs.  There is a possibility that we will have to leave Charlotte in the Fall of 2014, and there is another small possibility that we will have to be a long-distance married couple.  It all depends on which programs we each get into.

Healthy Snack: Quinoa Pizza Bites

A healthy lifestyle can sometimes deprive you of your favorite comfort foods (especially if you're training for a pageant), so instead of binging on unhealthy bloating fatty foods, I tried out the healthy version of pizza: Quinoa Pizza Bites!

so. much. yum.

I found this recipe on Pintrest but decided to make it even more healthy! You won't feel an ounce of guilt snacking on these, but it sure will satisfy that "comfort-food" craving! This batch made 2 snack servings for me. If you want a lot of leftovers (or have multiple people eating them- they go quick), then double this recipe! You can also toss in 1/4 c. diced cherry tomatoes, mini pepperoni slices (unhealthy but yummy), diced peppers... get creative!

mixing the goods

Ingredients:

1/2 c. uncooked quinoa

1 large egg

1/2 c. chopped onion

1/2 c. fat free shredded mozzarella

1 t. minced garlic

1 T. dried basil

1 t. dried oregano

pinch of salt

pizza sauce for dipping

time for the oven!

Directions:

1. Cook your protein-filled quinoa! Boil the quinoa and 1c. water and cover. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes (until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender).

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all of your ingredients (except the pizza sauce) in a mixing bowl until it is well mixed.

3. Lightly spray the bottom of a mini-muffin tin with olive oil spray. Using a Tablespoon, scoop ~1T. into each muffin tin, it should fill almost all of them!

4. Bake them for 15-20 and let cool. Serve them warm with pizza sauce to dip in!

finished product :)

Heavy Heart

Today my heart is heavy for a lovely family I have known for over 5 years now. The Maltempis are the sweetest, most loving, and hilarious family. Their youngest son, Jonny, went to be with the Lord this morning. He had been battling brain tumors for over 6 years. He was only 16 years old. He ran the race and fought the good fight but it is still hard to believe he's no longer with us. I know his family and friends are taking comfort in the fact that we will all walk with him again one day in Heaven.

Please join me in praying for the Maltempi family.

Till next time,
Catherine
