Mini PDR!!

Today was the most gorgeous day this year. It was 75 when I got out of work with very little humidity aka the perfect day for a run!! My legs were itching to go the entire day.  I decided that I wanted to try for 6 and that I wanted to slow my pace down a bit and really enjoy the run, not die from exhaustion.  When I got to mile 5 I decided to take it out a little longer to 6.5 miles, the furthest I've ever run.....only by .3 miles, but hey I'll take what I can get lol. 

Yay 6.5 miles!

Splits:

9.34

9.19

9.21

9.21

9.31

9.34

0.5 miles at 9.05 pace

Here's to hoping that these white legs got some color while I was out there!

I did have to stop once at the student center to get some water. I was sweating like wooo and needed to replenish. While I was there I came across this contraption.

This water bottle filler was right above the water fountain.  Pretty cool...if you like the taste of Newark water.  They never had these when I went to UD. Sheesh.

Dinner was a simple thai coconut curry.

I cooked up some broccoli, zucchini, string beans, green peppers and tofu and then mixed in some red curry paste and lite coconut milk. 

I had a slice of great harvest dakota bread to sop up the curry goodness.

Now I'm just working on the grocery list for tomorrow and tying up some loose ends for the wedding. 



Mud Run, Muffins and Curry

Today Matt and I were up at 5:20am....on a Sunday.  I think we are crazy.  Matt was running a mud run in Milton, De and I was tagging along as photographer.  This didn't make me too happy because I really wanted to be running, but unfortunately it was a 3 person team thing, and Matt was just filling in for a person who had backed out.  I got some pretty good pictures of Matt and his team though, so I guess I served my purpose.

They were supposed to be tinker bell and the lost boys, but I'm pretty sure Matt is the only one who attempted to dress up lol.  Thank goodness for goodwill.

After!

I may have been a tad biased and taken a million pictures of Matt. Oops.

We got home around 1:30 and were both soooo dead.  I made a super quick dinner, thai chicken curry. 

Super easy and delicious.  I used the same recipe for this thai coconut curry shrimp and just replaced the shrimp with chicken.  I also added some frozen bell peppers and broccoli and served everything over brown rice.  For dessert I had half of one of these babies:

Pumpkin Banana Muffins:

2 mashed bananas

1 cup pumpkin

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 eggs

2 cups flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour)

1/2 cup oats

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2/3 cup sugar

1/2 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

Handful of chopped walnuts and craisins (optional)

Combine wet and dry ingredients separately, then add dry to wet.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 25 minutes or until cooked all the way through. 

Matt and I both loved these. I'm always looking for things to make with my old bananas.
