Thursdays

Thursdays are kickboxing day. That means I do more squats than I can count, as they're a favorite activity of the instructor (although today was her last day, so we'll see if the new instructor does all the squats). It also means when I wake up in the morning, my shoulders, quads, hamstrings and triceps are going to hurt.

I love it. It does make me hungry. Dinner tonight was stuffed bell peppers and some Rosemary Diamante bread from The Essential Baking Company (best bread ever, by the way). The bell peppers are stuffed with a mixture of black beans, quinoa, onions, mushrooms, garlic, tomato sauce, a little olive oil, chili powder and a little salt. Topped with cilantro. The recipe is from Vegan with a Vengeance, and is a favorite.

One more cross-training workout before my long run on Saturday. The first long run? Four whole miles. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
