Our 10k mud run is only 4 weeks away!
Last week was busy and HOT, but I managed to squeeze in some workouts! YAY!
Monday ends up being my run days. I ran 3.1 in 31:22. I ran a 10:08 minute mile. This is slightly faster than the previous week and I ran a slight bit further. I am actually starting to like this running thing!! I am used to being in the gym lifting weights!
Tuesday we (Elizabeth and I) had a fun workout with Marina Martial Arts. One of our mud running team members owns this great studio. We kicked some bags, and punched some mitts! Super fun! We were sore all over after that!
Thursday I worked out at our new location in Playa Vista! We did a lot of lunges, jump squats and running. Check out our schedule at Baby Boot Camp Los Angeles (Culver City & Marina Del Rey).
Wednesday and Friday - no workouts. It was HOT and I had family in town.
Sunday I had an excellent workout at the park. Lifted weights and did a lot of squats and push-ups (and some running).
This week (and the 3 weeks following), we better bring our A game, so we can finish strong at the World Famous Mud Run at Camp Pendleton.

Mud Run Training this week
It's been challenging this week to find time to work out, but we need to make it happen. One, it's extremely important to get exercise to stay healthy, and two, the mud run is creeping up on us!
Monday, I ran 2.94 miles without walking intervals. This was a first. The key for me was that I ran at a slightly slower pace than normal. I am going to keep my pace at this rate until I hit 4 miles, and then try to increase my pace slowly.
Tuesday and Wednesday I worked out during my class at Baby Boot Camp Los Angeles (Culver City & Marina Del Rey).
On Tuesday I taught part of class, so I didn't get a full workout because part of teaching is helping our clients with form and proper technique.
On Wednesday Elizabeth taught and I was able to get in a great workout. She had us doing interval training and lots of running!!

Eats....
Wanted to share this super yummy and healthy recipe!
And these super cute kids talking about how the older one cut the little one's hair (no these are not my kids, I just could so see this happening at my house!)

Cauliflower Fried Rice!
I never thought this would be any good, but figured I would try it and it would be one of those meals I eat a little then snack for the rest of the meal on something I really liked! Boy was I wrong, I had seconds - maybe even thirds!
Now I didn't take any fancy pictures, I am working myself up to that point!
Here is what you need:
- 3 cups of grated raw cauliflower (use a cheese grater or food processor) - It takes about a bag and a half of the Trader Joe's bagged cauliflower.
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup carrots, thinly sliced - I used the shredded carrots from TJ's
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced (for the kids I omitted the onions and garlic)
- 1/2 cup onion, diced - I used the pre-cut onions from TJ's
- 1/2 TBSP olive oil
- 2 eggs (or 4 egg whites) scrambled
- 3 TBSP soy sauce
1. In a large pan, saute garlic and onions in olive oil on a medium/high heat, until onions become soft and transparent. (about 2-3 minutes)
2. Next add in peas, and carrots and cook until carrots begin to soften and peas are heated through, about 3-4 minutes
3. Next stir in scrambled eggs , cauliflower and soy sauce. Cook stirring frequently for about 5-7 more minutes.
When I made it just for the adults, I added in mushrooms which were great and didn't feel like meat was missing to be complete.
You can see a fancy website with pictures here.
