39

I ran this morning at 5am, just 21km as after such a big run last weekend this has been a rest week. I have a hamstring problem in my right leg and it hurt most of the way.  Alas my beloved Feldenkrais wasn’t on because of the St Kilda Festival.  Given 65 people have died in local fires over yesterday and today it seemed a bit shallow… the grey smoky skies are an ever present reminder of the tragedy that is unfolding in Victoria.  A drinking and music festival just seems so trivial.

I went to a seminar in town to check out some work we had done for them and met the lovely Ben.  In a very short time we had made a bet that we would do a Triathlon by Feb 1 next year.  I am up for it.  Ben is a great swimmer and cycling is no problem, it is the running he isn’t keen on.

I’m the opposite… I can hardly do 3 lengths of the pool without stopping- the most I have done with rests is 11. My goal is 50, even if I have to rest a little.  Each time I practice I get a little better.

Apparently if I dont do the triathlon the price is taking Ben to a VERY expensive restaurant in Sydney.   Never  going to happen… I am already training Ben.

I wanted to share a recipe with you that I half made up after looking around on the internet.

Pine nut pizza Cheese

1 cup pine nuts ground

1/4 cup sunflower seed ground

1/4 sesame seeds ground

3 tsp nutritional yeast

pinch of macrobiotic salt

Mix together and sprinkle on your raw pizza.

The kids thought it tasted somewhere between Parmesan and peanut butter- thanks guys.
