Warrior Dash

Warrior Dash

I think half my crossfit gym is going to run this crazy event. I'm looking forward to the obstacles... well, except for the long hill climb at the beginning. But, hey! We're in CO. You can't have an event like this if it doesn't have you run straight up a mountain at some point!

Jonathan was nice enough to post some training tips here.

My plans, do crossfit, hike the incline, and do a bit of running. So far, I've done the crossfit part. Now just to drag my butt outside for the running and hill practice.

I love my friends.

I love my health crazed, supportive, athletic friends. Thanks for all the tips and for pointing out the good stuff for me. The new thing I wanna try are paleo cookies from the Son of Grok website. Del says they're fabulous. Gonna have to find out for myself.

Meaty Squash

Tonight's dinner was a bit of an experiment. I cooked butternut squash (because that's what I had in the fridge) and a meaty tomato sauce. Squash: cut in half, cover with plastic wrap, and nuke for 8-10 minutes. The sauce: 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 lb LEAN ground beef, 1/2 can of tomato paste, black olives, red onions, zucchini, mushrooms and spices. Brown the meat first (with some spices). Saute the mushrooms, zucchini and onions. Combine all ingredients in a large sauce pan. This makes a VERY thick, meaty sauce.

NOTE: This was pretty tasty, but I think I will change it in the future. This sauce would have been fabulous on spaghetti squash. For butternut squash I think I'll shoot for a spicy/sweet sausage sauce.

Now that's a steak!

The brilliant Geoff bough these fabulous steaks for dinner on Friday night. I think I was still digesting it on Sunday. Delicious. The Mediterranean salad went beautifully with them. Nom. Nom.

High protein breakfast.

Breakfast today was a delicious pile of eggs scrambled with smoked salmon and feta and a side of bacon. The eggs are easy. Simply cook the eggs mostly through. Add the salmon (cut/torn into small pieces) and feta and finish cooking. Done. Nom. Nom.


Our WOD today was modified for working out at home with limited supplies (for now). Every minute on the minute for 15 minutes of 4 pull ups, 8 squats, and 4 push ups. Short, sweet, and sweaty.
