Leave your apartment. Start running. Ignore the pain. Don't stop for 8 miles.
That's all it took. Crazy how easy something like that is. The longest I had ever run previously was 6 miles and that was only once and over a year and a half ago. The next longest would have been 5 miles and that was only once and over three years ago. I just decided it was time to run really far, and the park happens to be .6 miles from my house and the park happens to be 3.45 miles around. One lap wasn't enough.
So... I guess I can run 8 miles. Sweet!
Wanna know what else the 8 mile run did for me? It made me need a lot of carbs today. You'll see, but today was a glorious day of eating.
In fact, here's a recipe I've started enjoying pretty regularly as an alternative to my all time favorite dish of brussels sprouts.
2 Heads of Broccoli
1/2 a Cauliflower
5 cloves of garlic
tin of anchovies
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
Cut the Broccoli and Cauliflower into florets, place with the garlic in a greased cast iron skillet and throw in the oven at about 375 for about 30 minutes, maybe longer. With a mortar and pestle crush the anchovies into a paste, add the olive oil to thin it out. When the broccoli is soft enough to cut with a spatula, pour into a mixing bowl with the anchovy mixture, parmesan and red pepper flakes. Mix until everything is evenly distributed. Enjoy.
