I managed to do only a couple things, but I was very content with this past weekend.

I did get some grilling in now that the weather is getting nicer. I made chicken/veggie skewers with a honey marinade and ate it with a spinach, walnut, onion, and blue cheese salad. It went pretty well with a Pinot Grigio. The coals were still hot, so I grilled the rest of the chicken and vegetables that I had stocked away in the freezer. It makes a good quick dinner after work and my long runs.

On that note, I’m slowly trying to increase my distance even more. I’m doing multiple days of 12+ miles, interspersed with days of water polo, and shorter, faster runs. Sunday, it was too nice and my housemate had just purchased a bike, which inspired me to clean, oil, and prep my bike. I took it out for a two hour ride which was really lovely, it’s refreshing to A. have bike trails that take you through places you’ve never been before and B. see people out and about. It was a bit chilly when I rode by Lake Mendota -it still has a thin layer of ice, but at least no one still trying to ice fish.
