Last night I did a very boring treadmill run, 5 miles in 58 minutes. It was a good run, I just get soooo terribly bored on my treadmill. I told myself that I couldn't get off it till I was at 5 miles or 60 minutes. So when that 5.0 hit the screen I was done. LOL! Next week my mileage goes up and I am excited and scared at the same time. I have been kind of quiet about my training but I do want to keep you guys updated on it. Tomorrow I am hoping to get a bike ride in now hat my great relaxing day got canceled. Might as well do some training, right?
I also cooked up some roasted broccoli slaw with chicken from Kristen's blog. It was super good. The hubby even liked it. He is surprising me everyday with actually liking these dishes...

| I'm not a good food photog, sorry! I promise it was delicious. |
Here is the recipe:
Preheat oven 400 degrees
Place 1 bag of Dole broccoli slaw on a greased cookie sheet, spray the slaw too. I use the olive oil spray.
I added garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Tony Chacheras seasoning.
Bake for about 20 minutes
I boiled 5 chicken tenderloins and chopped into pieces and sauteed with some red pepper flakes and more garlic.
Microwave 1/2 can of spaghetti sauce till hot
Place slaw in bowl, top with chicken, and cover with spaghetti sauce and enjoy.
It made 2 servings...

Next time I am going to try and find a low sodium sauce. (Any suggestions?)
