I’m back from my week long vacation.
The great thing about vacation is relaxing, having cocktails around the pool and having some beers around a late night fire pit as a million stars shine above you.
The down fall to vacation?
Well that would be going for a five mile run through poison oak and having poison oak on your feet.
Yes today I am home from my Sierra and Las Vegas road trip and it is back to real life.
That means I need to start training for my 15 K race in a week.
That would be so much easier if my feet were not covered in poison oak.
Believe me, going for a five mile run with nine hundred feet elevation gain is a bitch any day after consuming nothing but delicious buffets at the Cosmopolitan’s Wicked Spoon Buffet
(Angry Mac N Cheese, Bone Marrow, Fig Salad with Candied Bacon, White Chocolate Gelato and countless other delicious calories) and eating fried camp foods like Chorizo Breakfast Tacos (At least I fried them in coconut oil!) Deep Fried Spicy Chicken Flautas (Coconut Oil again!) and Fried Summer Squash ( Okay I admit it, my blood might be half coconut oil at this point)
I must love running to do it with feet all red and itchy from poison oak hell.
Not only that but I couldn’t find any mittens on this forty five degree morning so I wore gardening gloves on my run this a.m.
Yes, I do look like a weirdo!
But at least I am a weirdo who is trying to train!
Here is a recipe that has nothing to do with coconut oil, but is awesome on a fall day and just has Monday night football written all over it.
