2 Scrambled Legs: Manic Miles & Oh Yea It's Monday

First off, let me start by saying Happy Birthday to my Sole Mate Kim! Today's her birthday and we have been through a lot together. Talk about walking (or running) in somebody else's shoes, Kim and I have done that. As camp counselors (where we met), going through grad school, working in rehab, running a marathon together...you get the picture. We've done a lot. So happy birthday to one of my most favorite people and best friends.

Secondly, I'm gearing up for another race on Sunday, woohoo! So I got in 8 miles yesterday and 4 miles today. My times are seriously improving. Today's run was at an 8:36 pace - and though it was only 4 miles, that still faster than a previous 4 miles.

Thirdly, today I ate at Panera for lunch. Panera is a go-to for me because it always has calorie and nutrition information available. It also has so many different options so I never get bored. Anyways, I had a turkey BLT and a salad (again my go-to). So for dinner, I was inspired. Since I've been trying to eat healthier and eat more protein, I made a BLT turkey burger for dinner. Add a little broccoli and some quinoa, and you've got yourself a meal! It was delicious and totally a quick, easy fix for one person. I used my little george foreman grill to cook everything. After running, aerobics, and dancing, a quick easy meal is the way to go at 8:00PM. Anyways, I'm off to finish my dinner but something to consider: Just because you cook for one (or two even) doesn't mean it has to lack taste and can still be reach in protein and nutrients. Enjoy!
