My breakfasts usually consist of standing in the kitchen with a bowl of cheerios and a glass of OJ. Running Betty has been trying to get me to switch to oatmeal, but it’s May in Florida and oatmeal just doesn’t sound very good (especially after a hot run). She convinced me this week that I… Continue reading Going Granola

Rocking the Pyramid
Despite the fact that my lungs greatly protested last week’s speedwork, I was actually looking forward to today’s workout. That may have something to do with a day off yesterday…Or maybe I’m just crazy. Today’s plan was one of those that takes a little bit of effort just to remember: 4 x 200 m with… Continue reading Rocking the Pyramid
My Evening Ritual
For the past several weeks, I’ve been having the same evening snack. I really think it plays a big part in the quality of my run the next morning. I say this because I skipped the ritual several times in the last week, and my runs have been mediocre. Last night, I returned to this… Continue reading My Evening Ritual

It’s fairly healthy and it tastes great too. Ingredients Olive Oil Flounder Fillets (3-4) Flour 1/2 cup of… Continue reading Flounder with lemon herb sauce

Stir-fried beef with sugar snap peas
I’m not a really big fan of Asian food. I’m the one who groans and says “can’t we just have pizza?” when everyone wants to go out for Chinese. Lately, though, I’ve actually been making my own beef stir fry and it’s pretty good. I should also mention that I really don’t like vegetables. Last night, I… Continue reading Stir-fried beef with sugar snap peas
