Wow what a gorgeous first day of spring sooo sunny out. A little chilly with the breeze but still so nice out. My girls Kendra, Jaclyn and i headed out for a 16k run late this morning. It was a great run and a little wet and muddy in places. But it's just so motivating getting out there in this weather. I am sure pooped now though wow. Kicked my ass!!! We maintained a decent pace between 5:30 and 6:00 min/km not our fastest but not our slowest either. And it's only going to get better from here weather wise. My favorite time of year to run is summer and fall...spring is great too but a little wet and muddy. Winter well it's just freezing and sooooo snowy! Especially this winter. I stuck mostly to treadmill running for as long as i could and i still will for a bit longer for my speed workouts. What is your favorite season to run in?
The snow has melted sooooo much lately! YAH! The mounds of snow are almost gone! Well getting there anyways. At least Laila can no longer walk over the fence. I will leave you today with yet another recipe:) I am always on the lookout. These little energy balls or you can shape them into bars are GREAT! YUMMMMMY. They are basically homemade lara bars which is a raw energy bar.
Chocolate lara balls
3/4 cup of dates roughly chopped
1.5 tbsp cocoa
1/2 cup almonds roughly chopped
1/8 tsp of pure vanilla
Put the dates and almonds in a food processor and buzz until almost mixed up then add the cocoa and vanilla and buzz until all mixed. Then shape into balls or bars! Whatever you like.
Enjoy:)
