Veggin' on the Couch...

I spent most of this week veggin'. And by veggin', I am not just referring to what I am currently doing which may or may not be eating Milk Duds and watching a movie on a chilly Sunday afternoon. I mean I swapped out 4 of my main meals for the meatless variety! I am not the girl that craves steak and potatoes, but I do usually eat meat at all lunches & dinners. I have been reading blogs over the past few months while training for the marathon and the ones I have been drawn to are mostly the Vegetarian and/or Vegan variety. Now I am definitely not doing a complete 180, but I do appreciate what it does for ones body, mind, and training. 

Maybe one day I will learn to cook like Katie over HERE or like Chelsey. Or maybe just have sweet looking blogs like them.

Green Truck Salad with veg patty & avocado slices! nom nom.

While I made these few swap outs this week, kept my sweets to a minimum, and with my hydration levels up- my 12.5 mile run was rocking yesterday! I felt GREAT! Even with about 2 weeks off for my knees and still on medicine to keep the swelling down, my pace was steady and I felt strong.
