Here is a picture of the trail today (Sunday)!!!! 

It might not look like great weather…  But, the weather this weekend was awesome compared to what Feb. and early March put us through!!!  Fourty-six degrees today and a few patches like this on our local trail.   I managed to run/skate about six miles outside.  Took me about 68 minutes and it was GGGGRRRREEEEAAAATTTTT to be outside.  I felt so much stronger than when I last hit the trail (back in early Nov.).   I definetly feel that my running and exercise routine is paying off.  Six miles down and if I would have run four more I would have made my goal for race day. 

Here’s my treadmill from Friday…

It is fun to see that an hour run can burn 754 calories and get you half way to 10 miles.  Now if I can add another five miles in the same amount of time, I will be o-so-happy! 

I liked this article.  It discusses treadmill running vs. outdoor running.  It also discuss the benefits of theWII Fit Running program.

Here is a recipe that I tried last week and it was super yummy!  Clean Eating Portobello Mushroom Stroganoff.  My hubby would not eat it because he saw me make it and could not stomach the tofu.  Leftovers!!!

Good luck with your healthy week!
