A 5K Speedwork Session

on February 5, 2009

You know you’re a food blogger when….

You’re so excited the local grocery store is carrying Chobani, you whip out your camera and take a picture… in front of five other customers and a small child, who exclaims: "Mommy, why is she taking pictures of yogurt?!"

🙂

Crap Free Week is going very well so far. I didn’t miss coffee past noon, but I did miss my cereal/yogurt snack. I made up for it with really yummy snacks instead!

Dates…

And celery with PB…

I headed to the gym for a 5K speedwork session on the treadmill. Honestly, I LOVE doing speedwork on Thursdays because I’m rarely motivated at the end of the week to run a load of miles or spend forever in the gym. I was in and out in 30 minutes!

Here’s my 5k speedwork session…

Warm-up: 1 minute at 5.0 mph
Sprint #1: 2 minutes at 7.0
Recover: 1 minute at 6.0 mph
Sprint #2: 2 minutes at 7.5
Recover: 1 minute at 6.0
Repeat Sprints #1 and #2 4 more times
Finish up to 3.0 miles at 7.5 – 8.0 mph
Walk to 3.1 miles (5k)

Total Time: 27 minutes

Dinner was quick and easy as well…. and it was crap free! 🙂

I grilled some tilapia in lemon juice, EVOO, and pepper. Divine!

On the side… roasted red potatoes.

And grilled asparagus!

I see strawberries in my future for dessert 🙂

Have a great night!

haha I love it! I would be that excited about Chobani as well!

I like speedword for those same reasons, sometimes, all I want is to be in and out AND feel like I broke a sweat!

That dinner looks delicious 🙂

Hehe that made me laugh. Definitely something to be excited about!

Crap free week sounds wonderful… I should try that but I don’t know if I’m brave enough to go without the coffee!

I also got so excited when I saw chobanis, except instead of a kid there was an old lady who thought I was some crazy psycho haha. And I didn’t even have my camera with me! (Just squealed in delight). 🙂 Loving the crap free week!! 🙂

3 days!!!

Hi Caitlin, I’m really enjoying following your crap-free week. Sounds like it’s going well. Keep it up.
PS – love the yogurt pic. 🙂

Lucky! THey don’t sell them at my Publix yet, though I recently found them at Whole foods.

Is it sad that I can recognize the Publix price tag? That is Publix, right?
Caitlin at Healthy Tipping Point February 5, 2009, 9:02 pm
inmytummy – yes!!

haha – photos at awkward times are a way of life now I guess.

Thanks for posting the 5k speed work. You know I will be utilizing that soon!

Oh, and I don’t know if you know this, but I clicked on your blogger profile and I think it says you’ve been running for 23 years.

Caitlin! Oh my gosh, I was JUST taking pictures of food at the grocery store tonight and thinking, “I must look like such a weirdo!” Ahhh, what an odd coincidence!
Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat) February 5, 2009, 11:50 pm
I am so jealous that you could find chobani in the bigger sizes! I would love that!

I take pictures in the grocery store too. It’s fun to freak people out!
Sarah (lovINmytummy) February 6, 2009, 12:37 am
I want to know why Heather is looking at your profile, even though she’s read your blog forever.

Sssstalker!!!

Beadie @ What I Ate Yesterday February 6, 2009, 6:57 am
hehehe, I once had a girl ask her mom “why is the girl taking a picture of her ice cream” when some friends and I were out for gelato.

Gorgeous crap free eats. I need to do some crap free eating, myself.
Dori February 6, 2009, 7:39 am
I never saw the Vanilla flavor in the big size before! Not only did your grocery store get it, they got it RIGHT!
AshleyT February 6, 2009, 8:38 am
