The Long Road Home

was still pretty sore from my run on Friday up until yesterday morning.  Also I wanted to see how my Achilles held up without the sleeve.  Did an easy walk with my neighbor who wants to start exercising, but needs some motivation.  Took her on a fairly easy, 1 mile hilly route.  It snowed, which is not exactly a lot of fun for vibram komodos.  Don't know if I'll do any more today due to the cold (I could go to the gym I guess *shrug*)
I'm thinking I'll just take it easy this week since I'll be doing 9 miles on the weekend.

got to 3.5 mi at the hour mark and figured "meh, it's only 3 more laps".  So I did 4 miles.

Also I invented Murple.

8T mascarpone
8 oz greek yogurt (I used Greek Gods Artemis. It's currently competing with my beloved Fage total for supremacy)
1/2c blackberries
1/2c raspberries
raw vanilla (optional)

Pretty straight forward. Mix it all together. Eat it. I call it murple cuz it's mascarpone that turns purple.
And, yes, it's definitely my entire week's worth of fruit and probably 2 weeks worth of dairy rolled into one, but *pats tummy with contented sigh* WORTH EVERY BITE!

I am calling it my PWO meal

ran to riverwoods.  It's not fair how good it already smells at 8 in the morning and none of the restaurants are open!  However, I learned that I don't like to eat when I run.  It's not that I can't chew it run, it's that my favorite foods taste gnarly.  I brought a mini larabar for half way point and it just tasted like sweet, chewy funk.
