My Butt Hurts

I've been AWOL for a while. I ran away to Europe in May! I was pretty proud of myself for still running a couple days a week while I was there and walking a ton! But let me tell you, it's way too easy to eat too much while on vacation. Pasties in the train station? Yes please! More beer?? Of course!!! Anyway. You can imagine.

Stonehenge on a gorgeous day! 

After I got back, I tried to get back into my routine. I've been cooking almost all the meals here for my family. I got a cookbook in England called 5 Ingredients 10 Minutes. It's great! It has all sorts of modifications you can do, it's quick, easy, and delicious! 

This is one of the recipes from the book. Cashew and Potato Curry! 

Part of my routine has been training for the GraniteMan Half. It's been hard. Summer heat is ridiculous! I did a run on the 4th and it was 92 degrees out. Kill me. But! I made it. And it made all the delicious food worth it. 

This weekend, A and I did the Tour of Saints! It's a 50 mile bike ride through Central MN. As a result, my butt hurts! I'm proud of both of us for surviving. 3 hours and 46 minutes of biking. It helps that there's pit stops along the way too. Anyway! Overall another great experience in our book. 

Plus, what's better than getting out and enjoying the day with your best friend?
