Attempt at Food Blogging

My running work-outs this week were nothing too exciting... well I suppose watching Dave run along the seawall in a hula skirt was pretty entertaining...

Sunday- Long Run- 18.55km Average Pace 5:02/km.


Monday- Recovery run through the UBC trails with Rachel. Easy on the knees.
11km Average Pace 5:20/km
Tip from a former Olympic trial athlete: Rachel!
-Run strides (fast runs) at the end of a long run. Example: 5X 100.
Nothing crazy but it pushes your legs a little further and reminds them how to run fast.  
I wish I looked like this...


Tuesday- 146m run. Don't ask.

Wednesday- 6km Pace- 4:40/km (We are like sneaky children when Dave isn't there to make us run 10km...)

Thursday- 10 min warm-up. 3X 9 minutes- 4:30/km

So here is my attempt at food blogging...
Food Blogger Fail #1: I decided to add a little excitement into my Tuesday by not eating crackers, hummus and cookies for dinner. Vola! I cooked....a little sweet potato, black bean, yellow, orange, red pepper, artichoke, tomato, pasta sauce, hot sauce fiesta. 
Say hello to my little tomato nephew Tomatoie. (Tomatoie says heeey Mom ;)


My uncle says you should eat with your eyes (food should look good). My eyes did not think this looked good but it didn't taste too bad. 

Food Blogger Fail #2: This sandwich is pretty delicious and what I take to school everyday. 
Squirrelly Bread (best bread ever if toasted)
Smoked Tofu
Avocado
Sriracha
Mustard
- Weird Combo but tastes good I promise!


Food Blogger Fail #3: Ate some delish frozen yogurt (fro-yo) with the running crew Wednesday night. It was so good! I piled on so many awesome toppings. (M&M's, oreo, strawberries, buttermilk, blueberries, raspberries, gummy bears, etc)
Note to self: Take a picture before you eat it all.



Annnd that's all I got. Don't really think food blogging is my thing but I might try...

PS:  Check out this awesome article by my "coach" Please help me with my running technique!

  1. Your food blogging is awesome. I especially like the pretty tree in the background of the sandwich photo. Fro-yo was good but we needed some wine at the beach!
