Things have been very busy and a bit stressful lately. So much so, I've felt the need to simplify things. I've stopped playing hanging with friends and words with friends (sorry sis), I've stopped trying to get eight work outs in a week and stopped stressing about not getting up before work to run. I've stopped trying to fit in a ride after work and haven't attended one extreme fitness class for this session, even though I signed up. Instead, I've been focusing on the simplest of the three triathlon disciplines, running. It's so nice to come home after a long day, change into some running clothes and hit the trail. No tires to pump, water bottles to fill, gym back to grab, etc, just put on the run gear and go.
This trail is right across the street from my house and connects to many other trails offering miles and miles of running and cycling trails.
Training mojo update:
Swimming = none. I haven't been swimming since my half ironman almost two months ago.
Biking = none. I haven't been biking in over a week. I do miss it.
Running has been going quite well. I've been ramping up the mileage a little and would like to get it up to 30 miles per week and keep it there for a while and see what happens. I have a half marathon coming up the third weekend in October and if my running holds up, I'll be in a good position to PR it.

Speaking of simple, here is a really simple way to make some veggies.
Wash and dice the veggies, add a little olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. You can also add basil, rosemary, and/or thyme.
Throw them in aluminum foil and toss on the grill for 30-40 minutes on indirect heat.
Then enjoy!
Have a great weekend everyone!
