Spicy Stir-Fried Tofu With Bok Choy
Not a great but pretty easy and I assume reasonably healthy. For a kick I used Nirav Red Chutney Chili and Lee Kum Lee Sriracha Chili Sauce. I also used some peanuts.

Runs from May 13-19, 2012, 19.45 Miles
May 14, 2012
5.3 Miles
45:01 Time
8:30 Pace
Sadly, its likely the final Greenwich Running Company group run in awhile. I start a new job Wednesday, and I expect long hours. Some random stats, I have gone on 74 group runs, logging 374.84 miles. Included is the Beer mile and 45 5.3 mile route runs. The first time I did the route, in June 2010, it took 65 minutes, 12:16 pace. I didn't realize I was going so fast today, just trying to keep up with someone who said she hadn't been running in awhile. Splits 8:57, 8:06, 8:23, 8:42 and 8:22.
May 15, 2012
8.39 Miles
1:23:35 Time
9:58 Pace
Last Waveny group for awhile, because of my new work hours. I have only gone to 12 meetups in the past two years, but with the fast runners it definitely helped me push myself. Last time I went Jim told me I overstrided and today he said I looked better, but Chuck said I went out too fast and he has noticed it before...I guess I can be guilty of that that at times, not always though. Furthest distance compared with the other meetups, though I sorta guestimated this distance.

RFR Corporate 5K
3.1 Miles
23:27 Time
7:33 Pace
My fastest run of all time. Honestly, I thought I messed up because not even a mile into it I was huffing and puffing. I felt weak. It didn't seem the people around me were running fast and it seemed like it was an easy pace for them. I thought maybe I was going for 25, 26 minute time. I did look at my phone clock at times but I really didn't pay attention to when the race started, so it didn't really help. No idea about my splits as my phone apparently couldn't get a GPS signal. Felt easier than the 5K last year, but still tough. I feel drained as I write this.
The 2010 RFR race was my first race and my first entry in my XLS file. I ran it in 33:39, so I have improved by over 10 minutes.
Random Stats
I finished
283/1846 Overall Top 15.3%

In fairness, some of the people walked.

Much deserved recovery run. I tripped on the sidewalk (I guess an uneven part) while pouring water on me but I regained my balance. Possibly the first time in my live I work a sleeveless shirt...it is hot out there.

Another good run. I actually slowed down at times, I didn't push myself the whole run. A runner who was new to the group kept up with me to know where to go. He pushed me as I knew he was a faster runner (ie he tied his shoes and then seconds later he was behind me) and he said I pushed him at the end. Last mile, 8:26.

3000th mile, though my Daily Mile stats don't seem to fully match up with my spreadsheet. My xls shows 830.35 miles 5/20/2010-12/31/2010, 1704.55 miles 2011 and 469.12 miles

5.09 Miles
43:52 Time
8:37 Pace
I wanted to run fast today and it looks like I did just that. Next up, slow 7 miles Saturday, Yoga Sunday, fast 5 miles Monday, slow 3 miles Tuesday, Yoga Wednesday and then hopefully a 5K Thursday ran faster than 24:07.

6.61 Miles
1:09:45 Time
10:33 Pace
First time in about 2 months doing the downtown route and first time in a few weeks hitting the East Main St hill. I definitely felt yesterdays intense run today, as running a 10:30 pace wasn't as easy as you would think. I tried to get an escaped dog who was with another runner but the dog zoomed by me.

Spicy Black Beans and Polenta
This came out pretty well. Not a lot of taste, but not a lot of ingredients either. It did have a sweet taste to it. Very easy to make and inexpensive. I did add some Ancho Chilli Pepper from the Blair's spice mix. It seemed a bit mild, but that's ok.

Probably should have done a recovery run but I felt so good today. Fastest time ever for the 5.0-5.99 distance, which I have run 133 times. Prior record was June 2011 when I ran this route in 47:29 / 8:58 pace. I had 145.27 miles for April, highest since September.

Blah. Tried to take it easy and then I actually struggling toward the end. I guess I will take Friday off and speed workout Saturday. My 5K is in two weeks.

Vegan Korma
This was decent. Probably would have been pretty good but I didn't exactly follow the recipe. I ignored the part about the curry base as I initially thought it was only extra spices, so I didn't buy the extra ingredients that were needed. I did have some though.

Aloo Gobi - Potato Cauliflower Stir-Fry
This was so so. Healthy and some flavor but nothing great.
