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
By last count we have 19 participants in this challenge (counting me)! Woot! Go us! I will try to get a link list together for participants with blogs for next week's post.
First, my running recap:
Wednesday I had planned 30 minutes of running hills. There is a really great hill at my Dad's house and I usually just run up and down it. But with my Dad still recovering with his hand and all I didn't want to dump my boys on him, so I waited until hubby got home to run. Which wound up being late, so it was a treadmill run. Gotta say I heart Twitter. You throw a question out and are sure to get an answer right back! Wasn't sure what I should set my incline on for a hill run. Threw the question out and the answer came back: no more than 5. Worked for me! So I did intervals of 2 minutes running hills of 4 or 5 incline, 2 minutes running flat, 1 minute walk, repeat for 40 minutes. Still working on getting my lungs back to running shape since my hip injury, hence the walking portions.
Friday I did speed intervals on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I LOVE speed intervals. I LOVE to run fast! I did 2 minute run, 1 minute walk from 5.5 mph to 6 mph. Then I did 1 minute run, 1 minute walk for 7 mph, 7.5 mph, and 8 mph. Felt so awesome to get to 8, that is fast for me!
Then, today I did my 'long' run. I did three miles. Had to walk 3 times for one minute each time. Again, my lungs weren't quite there yet. Hopefully next Sunday I can hold the run for the entire 3 miles!
Proud of my week of running. I am very thankful that my hip isn't bothering me. As soon as my lungs catch up, I got this!
So how did you do? Did you get your three runs in? Did you love it? Did you hate it? Did you run outside? On the treadmill? Did you sweat like a pig? I did. Give us your recap in the comments.

I will have to try that treadmil incline...it's still kinda snowy here but the sun is out. WHOOP! =) Thanks for the suggestion.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on running! Hope those lungs catch up soon!
ReplyDeleteYOU WALK @ 7 MPH!!! Good Lawd! My feet would be flying off of the back of the treadmill. Go girl. I am a beginning runner so I got my 3 runs in using the C25K. I completed Week 2, so this week on to Week 3!
ReplyDeleteAwesome - go, go, gadget lungs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbi.
ReplyDeleteMe So Hongry, no I am definitely running by then, lol. I walk at 3 mph and then run in intervals.
Anne, LOL, yes let's hope so!
Nice job on the run! That is fast for me too!!!
ReplyDeleteIm a wimp this week, only did one of my runs. I told sis I needed a week off after the big loss last week:( And boy did I take the week off! But I was back on the asphalt today:) Literaly!!! the Couch to a 10k called for intervals of running 3 min and walking 1, 10 times! As much as I hate running I enjoy it so much more than walking so it is nice to actually be running for at least 3 min! I get to run 4 next week! Yippee!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't do so well! I only got two days in...but the 2nd day could count as 2 since I did 8 miles?? :O) pweeeaassse??
ReplyDelete1st day was in the gym 3 miles walk/jog; mostly walk. 2nd day was on the walking trail (mostly walk with jogging tossed in).
BUT this week...this week is a whole new can of worms. My feet have a few blisters from yesterday but I plan on doing something light tonight (on the treadmill). Tomorrow, Thurs, Friday will be my 3 mile days; probably on the treadmill so I can change the intervals and do it when no one is looking!!
Sounds like the running bug bit
ReplyDeleteYay for you and everyone else who is Kickin' Some Asphalt! I am too - last week was my first week of the Couch to 5K program...and I am DEFINITELY a beginning runner. doing the program with my hubs and we ran on Monday, Wednesday and Friday...felt great to get back to running...it has been SO LONG! And I'm pretty sure right now my jogging is at a 3.5 or 4.0 pace...uber slow...but we're building up little by little! Just started week 2 - lungs very underdeveloped for running yet...and while the jogging portions are tough, they feel good too!!!
ReplyDeleteI did two, but one was a power walk, but I am still counting it! This week I already have two down, with today being a power walk. I really think walking is just as good for my body as running or run/walking.
