Ok i haven't been blogging 'cause i haven't been jogging!! been extremely lazy!! ran saturday but not sunday. keep hoping sciatica will go away but it hasn't. and no i still haven't got new shoes yet! will go online right now and order them. to be honest not having a goal to train for is detrimental to my psyche! i think i'll have to look for something end of year to aim for. can't really wait till balloch clydebank half - this is just too far away!
i will go a run today! i will! i will! i will!....
and to be honest the weather is conducive for a good run! ducks and runners eh?
on a healthy intake note - gave up juicing meantime - too time consuming! don't panic donna... i am making soup instead. i just made my second batch that i freeze and will feed me daily for a week!! this week all the veggies i had in the fridge went in. all organic too!
Ingredients for anyone who wants to try it! i call it supersoup!
carrots,
celery [yay donna i can't taste it!]. to be honest it smelt like sweaty armpits chopping it up and i was baulking at putting it in but donna's sensible nagging - it is a good cleanser! persuaded me to get it in there. don't know if you eat the leafy bits so i left those out meantime. and like the juice no sweaty pit taste or smell from the soup!
broccoli and cauliflower in there for their anti carcinogenic qualities [got that yearly check up coming up and everything helps sooth that annual paranoia]. just have to put up with the fact that house smells like a sewer while it's cooking!
onion
garlic [keep the colds -or swine flu - away!]
sweet potatoes
normal tatties
courgettes [what purpose do courgettes have? they seem tasteless and dissolve into a sickly gel but hey if it is good it goes in!]
half a bag of spinach
recipe
chop everything small. saute onions and garlic in butter add sea salt and pepper to taste. throw in everything else add some tumeric. steam for a wee while then add water to cover. bring to boil and simmer for 20 mins. i then blend it and add double cream. and voila - yummy!
so had that for lunch with some of my own garden's plums in prep for run!! i will run! i will! i will!
multi tasking - i bought these on the other screen! after a confusing time on the runners world new look website i came up with "no shoe match" from every search! maybe the site isn't functioning well yet. certainly the new videos on what type of shoe to get are really informative. i was guided by this to a neutral and cushioned shoe!! so searching my favourite brand i was attracted to the nike lovely shade of blue vomero [what a name - the vom model!] but since that was the spring summer colour i am always worried that these have sat around in the warehouse losing some of their durability as air or gel slowly permeates through the membranes - this could be complete tosh but i can't be bothered searching for research to evidence this theory so i decided to play safe and go for the new autumn winter cerise version! should match some of my clothes! might get the blue ones another time as a spare if i feel they are the model i want to stick to. can't wait till they come!!
