Only 296.87 miles to go!

It's a race!  300 miles by December 31st started today.  Even though my feet are sore from yesterday's sprints I pushed through a 3.13 mile run tonight.  I actually feel better since my run.  I am really enjoying my time being out in nature on the Ohio Erie Canal Tow Path.  Some of the areas are beautiful!  I was able to see 3 deer tonight and a bunch of chipmunks scurrying across the path in front of me.  I am finding that running outdoors rather than a treadmill is the key to me running.  I HATE the treadmill!  I have decided that this winter I will be investing in cold weather gear so I can continue my outdoor running.  However, I am hoping that that is a long way off.

For dinner I had a Chili Lime Chicken Burger (you can find this recipe under the recipe tab).  I am getting more creative with my diet and food options.  I am finding that I am enjoying things with a little spice.  Instead of a bun, I put my burger between 2 slices of tomato with some mashed avocado and spinach.  DELISH!  Then I just cut the rest of the tomato into chunks and ate that as a side.  

Another little recipe that my husband tried last night...BACONADO!  A little side note...I cannot cook bacon correctly.  I am not really sure what the problem is?!  The end result is always either undercooked and in the trash or burned to bits.  So I don't get to eat bacon (at least not burned, but good bacon) unless my husband makes it.  So this recipe is an avocado sliced and the pit removed and add bacon.  That is it.  A yummy healthy fat to add into any diet.  I highly recommend it if you are a fan of bacon and avocado.  The two together are amazing.
