Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
Yep. I got runner's itch. BAD.
You see, I am currently reviewing Jillian Michael's Body Revolution program. I have been since March 26th. In the spirit of giving it a fair shake I have stuck to the workouts as they are presented. Which means: I. haven't. ran. since. March.
At first I thought it would be no big deal. I can quit running any time, right?
I would take a little break, lose some weight, and then return to my beloved running. Heck, maybe a little weight loss would even make me faster.
I neglected to consider I might go NUTS in the meantime.
I've often said running is my therapy, my time to clear all the junk out of my head. I miss that. Big time. More than that I just miss running, the movement, the act of running. (Just typing that makes me yearn a little. Oh running, do you miss me too?).
I've got 2 weeks left of Body Revolution and I'm craving a run. Like, jonesing for a run. It really is like an itch. That I really need to scratch!
And really? I'm glad. I'm glad I got runner's itch. I'm glad because I had sort of lost my running mojo this past winter. I think that taking a break from running was the perfect cure. Running has meant so much to me I'm glad that I find myself craving it instead of struggling with it. Now...just to get to the end of this 2 weeks without going stir-crazy!
