KSA 5k... with bro

Yea. I have the best older brother in the world (I cant call him big brother, b/c I'm taller... 2 whole inches!)

We ran the KSA 5k at the Univeristy of Illinois together... so much fun. Very nice race... also the weather cooperated and we felt great!

Super slow pace, since it was my first run...in a month. 12min miles.

Tshirt (cotton)
Swag bag
raffle after the race (which I WON!!) two spaghetti dinners!!
CJ won an ice cream cone!!
the real plus is that it was only 10mins from CJs house..how sweet is that?
$15 for the race!!!

1000 yards

Swam yesterday night with Janet.

FElt great.

Next week 1500 x 2... should get me on track for another olympic distance next year.. heck maybe even an Half Ironman. We'll see!!!

H.A.

making efforts

Mix 1 cup riced cauliflower with 2 eggs, 1 cup of cheese & 1 tablespoon oil of your choice (I used grapeseed oil). Spread in baking sheet.
Bake fir 15-20 mins at 350
Spread sauce.
Add toppings
Bake toppings for 15 mins & you're done. I chose prosciutto & cheese.

splish splash

wow..that was amazing!

a simple 500 swim with Janet. It was much needed. It took all I had because I havent worked out in a while and I feel great.

Next time... thursday or friday... 750!

Everybody's working for the weekend!!

So...
Yep...
Didnt do much...

I did however set up my Wii Fit Plus. I think I'll work on my speeches for work, school, activism there. Should help me a lot with my balance.

I ate pretty well. I am notcing my clothes fitting a little looser. A lot looser and closer to the correct fit is ideal! LOL

Anyway I have set up a race for my brother and I on the 22nd. Very muchly looking forward to it. SHould be a blast. I hope I'm back in running shape by then.

Tonight I am swimming with Janet the Fish and am so excited about it. It will be great to get back to this core fitness realm!
