Got my weekly report from Daily Mile last night.

Last week I ran 26 miles in 5:04:00. I wonder how accurately reflects an eventual marathon time. My training runs are always differently paced than races, but these runs were done over 5 days. Hmm just curious if anyone can “predict” their half/marathon time based on their training.

This week I have 33 miles to run – technically I have 24 since already ran 9 of them. scary and awesome.

 HOLY MOTHER THIS LOOKS GOOD and IT’S BRUSSELS SPROUTS!

Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Red Onion, Lemon and Pecorino

Serves 6

  • ½ small red onion
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cups Brussels sprouts (use larger sprouts if possible)
  • ½ cup finely grated pecorino romano
  1. Soak the onion slices in a small bowl of cold water for 15 to 20 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Ask a question about this step.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. Set aside. Ask a question about this step.
  3. Trim all of the Brussels sprouts, cutting off any bruised outer leaves and slicing off a good portion of the hard root end. Using a mandoline, shave the sprouts one at a time. When you’re done, use your fingers to gently separate the leaves so that the shredded sprouts resemble a very fine slaw. Ask a question about this step.
  4. Put the sprouts in a serving bowl and toss gently with the onions (which you’ve now drained) and the dressing. Fold in the pecorino, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately, before it starts to wilt! Ask a question about this step.

COVET.

I really need some new running shoes (I have about 500 miles on my current Nikes) and I stumbled across these Brooks. ORANGE is my favorite color and I’ve always wanted to try Brooks. I found them for $76 (no tax or shipping).

I also found a orange version of the Nikes I already have for $60 (no tax or shipping)

Keep in mind I’m getting Nike Pegasus +27s at the end of April for like $30 from work.

HELP. DO I BUY NEW SHOES? IF SO WHICH?

Throwback Dec 2006 picture of me and Mr. 365 wearing eachother’s hats.

Happy 30th Mother-effin Birthday Mr. 365!

I will be out of town Fri-Sun for a conference and I would be absolutely remiss if I didn’t show enormuous amounts of love for him before I left town.

You sir gave yourself the gift of not recognizing that person in the picture and you helped further motivate me get to a point where I no longer recognize the person in the picture with you.

You are such a rockstar and I so regret not knowing you better in grad school, but I’m very thankful that through power of social media we have been able to become better friends and cheer eachother on.

Looking forward to following your next challenge!

Editors Note: I’ve kept this picture in my draft for a looooong while waiting to unleash it’s horror beauty. If this isn’t birthday love then I don’t know what is.
