I think I can, I think I can....

Today I hit the FOUR mile marker on the path to 6.2.   After this adventure began on January 1st without even being able to run ONE mile without walking....I feel as if I hit a huge milestone today.  With only Seven and 1/2 weeks remaining, I have a lot of training to go before I get to where I need to be, but it is all worth it in the end.  

The best 10K in the country!

GET OVER IT...Cooper River Bridge Run!!

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.  Add garlic, saute 1 minute.  Add parsley and next 8 ingredients (through Mushrooms); cook 10 minutes or until mushrooms are tender, stir occasionally.  

Combine mushroom mixture and orzo in a medium bowl , and toss well to combine.  Top with Parmesan Cheese! ENJOY. :)

Brussels Sprouts

1 package Brussels Sprouts, sliced in half

Heat up a large sauce pan with olive oil.  Once hot, toss in the brussels sprouts and saute until slightly toasted.  Add a little salt and pepper to taste.  

Serve hot and enjoy!!!
