Polenta and Veggies

First off I had a horrible 10 miles yesterday, it all started because I pushed my body way too hard last week and didn't allow myself to rest.  I even caught a cold because I ran in the cold rain on Saturday.  Bad Idea!

So my run yesterday was hard, my legs felt heavy, it was very hot.  All I could think about was where is water and my heartburn.  It was awful.  I decided that I am going to try my hardest not to run again until my 20 milers on Saturday.  I know I will be tempted to run Thursday but I am seriously going to try to rest.  I have yoga twice this week and also doing my Tracy Anderson so we will see.

Anyways this was my breakdown of what I ate today. (minus the snacks, like cottage cheese and whole wheat pretzels and dark chocolate)

Fiber One cereal with my homemade granola and Almond milk.


After my cereal I had this delicious Peanut Butter on a banana.


For lunch I made a mixed greens salad with pear, almonds,
blue cheese crumbles and balsamic.

 

This was my dinner experiment
I really wanted it to be pizza but it did not go down like that...
Ingredients

 

Because my polenta came out of a pre-made package I could not 
spread it so instead I just smashed it up and put the ingredients on top.


I was pretty skeptical but it actually tasted so good!  
Baked in the oven at 400 for 15 mins.

  1. Sorry you had a bad 10-miler yesterday! But I'm glad you got through it. Hopefully you're able to get some rest this week and feel good for your 20-miler this weekend!

    I just recently realized how good polenta can be (when prepared well that is!). I think it can add a lot to your meal!

  6. Hi! Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. It's nice to make new blogger friends.

    I'm sorry about your "horrible 10 miler." I know how you feel. Sometimes I just have to remind myself... even though that wasn't the best run, I'm still running laps around the person sitting on the couch!
