Sunday = rest day = rambling !

Since today is the last day... the training week has been OK... not great as I missed Thursday's run. Saturday was 7 miles around Greenlake. It seems good, total walk time was around 3 minutes, and I think I over estimated what I thought was 7 miles, so I did a bit more than 7, but that's OK. I was tired though... just tried to keep smiling and singing along to my playlist... but this wasn't an easy run. And I don't think it was the miles, but just me :) Oh well... new week starts MONDAY ~~

Today, ouch ouch ouch ouch. The right outside of my right quad is killin' me. Riddle me that one ! hhmmm... don't know what's up with that. And I'm generally more sore today than I thought I would be. After thinking about it, I ran 7 miles in somewhat chilly weather, then jumped in my car and drove for one hour. Perhaps I should have used a little patience and stretched a bit before sitting in a car for an hour. Lesson learned and I'm paying for it today.

I went to Active Trainer to print out my week schedule and check out what they are offering:

Free 5K training plans !!! Nice !! And even though most have done a 5K before, this is always a great training idea, or just an overall good workout, especially if you haven't been out moving much. FUN !

Yummy lunch wrap !

Artichoke and Beef Lettuce Wraps
Wash 16 lettuce leaves (such as butter or romaine) and set aside. In a bowl, place 1 can (13 oz) artichoke hearts, rinsed and thinly sliced; 1/2 pound deli roast beef, sliced into thin strips; 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced; 1 cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained; 1/4 cup reduced-fat grated Parmesan, 1/4 cup packed fresh basil, 2 tbsp capers, chopped, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and 1 tsp olive oil in a bowl; add 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat. Wrap 1/4 cup filling in each lettuce leaf and serve. (Serves 4; 280 calories per 4 wraps)

And I found a great new salad dressing at Trader Joe's... Cilantro.. it's pretty good and low in calories. Some romaine lettuce, some of Trader Joe's Just Chicken chicken strips, some grape tomatoes and woot woot ! A great salad.

I'm off to stretch... keep movin people !!

PS Chrissie Wellington won Ironman yesterday... I love her :) She crossed the line with a huge smile (as always) and dropped down and did the Jon Blais roll across the line !!
