Running and Eating

Running:
A friend of mine asked me to post my running plan each week, because she wanted to follow it.  I am using the Mileage Buildup Schedule from marathontraining.com until October 8.  Then I hope to begin my marathon training for the Disney World Marathon which is in January.
I am on week 2 of the Mileage Buildup Schedule, and this week's runs are:
4,4,4,3--for a total of 15 miles.

Eating:
Another friend asked me yesterday what I was fixing for supper this week, so I told her that I would try to begin posting my weekly menus again on Mondays.  She, another friend and I are all trying to eat a plant-based diet, so we are all sharing menu ideas and recipes.  Here's my plan for this week:


Breakfasts: (all served with fresh fruit)

• oatmeal
• blueberry muffins
• pumpkin bread
• granola 
• peanut butter toast
• smoothies
• maple muffins

Lunches: (all served with salad made with spinach and lots of fresh vegetables)

• leftovers from suppers
• wraps made with veggies and guacamole or hummus
• peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
• rice (alone or with beans, raw vegetables, guacamole, etc.)

Suppers: (all served with salad, just like at lunch)

• Caribbean black beans, rice, and mango salsa
• veggie burgers (we like Boca and Amy's brand), oven sweet and regular potato fries
• sauteed fresh vegetables (squash, onion, zucchini, asparagus, carrots, broccoli, red, orange, yellow and green peppers), rice
• tacos--made with hard shells or whole wheat soft tortillas, refried beans (homemade), tomatoes, corn, black beans, spinach, salsa, and guacamole
