Wednesday: rest day
Thursday: 5 mile run (The schedule called for 2 miles at a 9:05 pace with half-mile recovery jogs after each. I did the other two miles at 10:00.), weights
Friday: bike ride (I haven't decided where, but I should probably figure that out before I go to sleep. :-p)
Saturday: hour swim
Sunday: 7 mile run
Monday: spinning, weights
Tuesday: 2 mile run, half-hour swim if it's not too crowded

This morning's run was challenging, but good. I didn't think I was going to need the full half-mile on the recovery jogs, but I did.

Last weekend's culinary adventure was tempeh, vegetable, and parmesan stuffed peppers. I don't like rice, so I subbed quinoa for the brown rice. I also subbed mushrooms for the chopped peppers in the filling. (Why stuff a pepper with more pepper?) I was really happy with how they turned out, but I think next time I'm going to do the baking part on the grill because it was hotter than hades in my apartment when I finished. This weekend, I'll be rocking a whole-grain blueberry cobbler to take to my parents' house and a buttermilk marinade recipe I picked up in one of my meetings this week.

Oooh, and I found a good time to swim at Parkwood--9 am on a Sunday. I had a lane to myself for the whole hour I was there, the lifeguard had the oldies radio station on loud enough for me to be able to hear it, and nobody yelled at me. Score! ;-)
