Running: I had to cut back from running and missed about 4 weeks while pregnant with Kara this year. I scaled it down alot and in the last month took a big break! My yearly mileage is on a downward trend as I get into swimming and triathlon.
2010: 1186.3
2009: 1645.5 miles ran
2008: 1748.4 miles ran
Humnut Sauce - Mae: 2 T hummus + 1 T nutritional yeast + water = great sauce to dip veggies and everything!
Gluten Free/Vegan Pancakes - Averie's recipe - very versatile
Protein Pancakes - inspired by Sarena
1/2 c ground oats
2 T peanut butter
1-2 T protein powder
1 T maple syrup
1/4 to 1/2 c almond milk/milk of choice
1 T flax
Hemp Fudge - Sarena's recipe
Maple Nut Oaties/ Raw Chocolate Chip Cookies - HEAB and Angela - any combination of oats, nuts and maple syrup. My favorite is the nuts ground in the food processor + ground oats + maple syrup till it sticks together = NUT BALLS.
Black bean sliders: I make this once a week usually.
Best products that I've purchased
Bondi Band - not just for running. I wear them almost everyday because I seem to have grown some weird bangs with the help of motherhood. My favorite one was RUN LIKE A MOTHER. But I lost in training for the half this summer :( I bought some new ones at the expo and my current favorite is a patterned one seen in the Halloween pic.
Amazing Grass Chocolate Superfood - I have this on subscribe and save on amazon and get it once a month. I use it for "hemp fudge" and as a dip for pancakes with coconut oil. I really like it!
VITAMIX!!! to make nut butter, smoothies and everything in between!
Trader Joe's Hemp Protein Powder and Trader Joe's peanut butter, creamy with salt! : )
RUNNING GOALS FOR 2011
Run the fastest half marathon that I can!
Actually run with the running group that I joined - make running a group thing
Speed workouts

ReplyDeleteFab year! And great recap. I ran about as many miles as you in 2010. The latter months averaged about 30 each though due to pregnancy. I don't know how you do it! Amazing! Good luck w/your 2011 goals!
