I'm now in week 2 of my 12 week training cycle for the Houston Marathon. This is the recap for my Houston Marathon Training - Week 2 today.
I had trouble this week keeping my hands off the snooze button. I could blame the late night Astro's games, but ultimately it comes down to me. By the way... how about those 'Stros! My cross-training and strength workouts really suffered. This week I need to get to it!
Over the weekend, the hubs and I went to Lake Travis with some friends for camping and so the boys could scuba dive. We had a blast! I'm pleased that I was able to still get in my long run and enjoy all the fun. I had ordered a SUP to take with my on the trip, but sadly it arrived damaged and there went my well laid plans for cross-training after missing my wake-up calls.
I continued cooking and eating from the Run Fast Eat Slow cookbook. This week I tried Giddy-Up Energy Bites and Nostrana's Pasta Salad.

Sorry to hear about the damaged SUP :( I hate when you're totally looking forward to something but then it doesn't go as planned. I still think you had a great week of workouts though!
ReplyDeleteHow do you like those two recipes from the cookbook? I have the cookbook but haven't made those recipes yet!
Oh, no! I hate that your SUP arrived damaged. I know you would have enjoyed that! I need to look at more recipes in that cookbook. I prefer recipes with few ingredients and few steps thus most of those recipes are out of my comfort zone. LOL. I haven't been doing much cross training either. I was cycling, but now... I'm just not motivated. Thanks for linking!
ReplyDeleteIt was a bummer, but I guess it was better that the delivery service noticed it was damaged rather than when I was at the lake... blowing the thing up. I like these recipes... frankly, I haven't tried one from this book I haven't liked.
ReplyDeleteSo far, all the recipes have been really good (and seem to yield plenty for me to take in my lunch all week).
