Running

An interesting run and recipe

The run was interesting. The recipe is good.

Thursday morning I woke up around 6am and couldn’t decide if I wanted to do my long run on the dreadmill or outside. It was 20 degrees outside, which wasn’t a big deal because I’ve run in colder temperatures, so I decided to run outside.

I set out for a 15 mile run around 7:20 and all was well until mile 10 when it began to snow, lightly. By mile 11 it was really coming down and I couldn’t see well. The roads had ice on them but I couldn’t see it because the falling snow was covering it. Then I slid on ice (but didn’t fall.. huzzah!). I was about a mile from home and I was nervous that I was going to fall or something!

Luckily I made it home safe and sound! It was interesting.

Now onto the recipe:

Corn muffins

Ingredients:

-1 cup corn meal

-1 teaspoon baking powder

-1/4 teaspoon salt

-1 1/2 tablespoons honey

-1 egg

-1/4 cup oil

-1 cup milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin tin that holds 12 muffins. Mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

In a small bowl mix the egg, honey, and milk until fluffy. Mix the liquids into the flour bowl and stir lightly, until just combined.

Pour into muffin pan and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

14 pictures of my life recently

But you, LORD, are a shield around me, 
   my glory, the One who lifts my head high. 
I call out to the LORD, 
   and he answers me from his holy mountain. Psalm 3:3-4

I feel as if I haven’t show any recent photos of my life lately! So here we go:

1. Hannah looks more and more grown up each day. For realz. She is also rocking like 4 inch heels in the picture. You go Glen Coco.

2. I am a die-hard cereal freak. I eat cereal at least 2x a day. I have been trying to switch things up in the breakfast department so I had a bagel with peanut butter one morning last week.

3. This is a picture of Jimmy in the car wash from Sunday last week. I used to be so afraid of the car wash when I was younger. It still freaks me out, so I made Jimmy come with me 😉

4. Popcorn is tasty. That is all.

5. Rain boots for the win.

6. I went to the mall before church on Wednesday and really wanted a chocolate/vanilla lollipop from a machine and I went through three quarters trying to get that flavor. Then I ran out of quarters and had to settle with peaches & cream.

7. Lola still loves going on walks. Even with it is cold and raining..

8. Granola + soy milk = ❤

9. Jimmy fell asleep on my shoulder while I was studying for a microbiology test. I guess it was good that he didn’t distract me because I got an 89%!

10. I had a delicious turkey and veggie wrap with rep pepper strips on the side. Now I’m addicted to wraps.

11. Egg wrap. I like when the yolks are still runny 🙂

12. I love my mom.

13. This is perfect for my life. Nutella to go. Yum.

14. I had to make this one #14 because on Saturday I did a 14 mile run! My brother recently started a new job and this was his first weekend home since I last saw him a month ago. He ran 8 miles with me and then headed home. My pace was 8:50.. not tooooo shabby..

That is all 🙂

Have a great Sunday!
