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
Sorry I'm just getting this up today! I've wanted to do a March challenge, but couldn't decide what it would be. But here it is:
The main focus of the challenge will be running 3 days a week, all month. If you are a runner, great, jump in with us, we could use your insight. If you are just starting out, we'll be here to support you! If you just sort of think you want to be a runner...jump in! What better time than now with all of us to support you?!
Even if you have to start out in run walk intervals. Even if your run intervals are only a minute, if you stick to it all month with us you will make progress! Run outside, run on the treadmill...just run with me!
OK, so I will post once a week on Mondays about how I am doing with it, whether I got in 3 runs, how they went, etc. I am focusing on increasing my speed, so I'll post about that. I will try to add in any helpful links I find on training, etc. In the comments of that post, everyone do the same. Post about how you did the previous week with your running. Find a cool training plan, or link? Post that too. Brag about yourself, tell us if you didn't get your runs in; tell us the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Hmm, a prize is in order I think...For everyone who participates, comments below, and posts their weekly updates on all my challenge posts (March 8, 15, 22, 29) I will put your names in a drawing for a pair of DeFeet running socks! (which I will provide FTC, thank you).
Let's all kick some asphalt this March!
Who's in?? Comment below!

ReplyDeleteI am in! I am going to have to win some socks after sending a pair to Kat tomorrow. Preaty sure my weekend slack will catch up with me.... loosing both the socks and the card.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun for you all to pick a 5k or 10k in April to do as well. (We r doing one in April... right Kat?) If its your first I guarentee you will love it even if you walk it!
I am currently doing "couch potato to a 10K" its a great program and I deffinatly recomend it if you have the time to put into it.
Good luck everyone! See you on the Asphalt!!!
Anyone interested in a 5k (what I'll be doing in April) I found a link to the Couch to 5k training plan. I've heard great things about it. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml
ReplyDeleteI'll be doing my 1/2 marathon April 11th...can that count for my 5k? if not I'll aim for a 5k at the end of April....
ReplyDeleteI'm in! I'm doing my first 5k at the end of April, so I really need some motivation to get into it!
ReplyDeleteI'm in. Great motivation as running is so good for your heart. I'm committed to running at least five days a week in my quest for my first half marathon on May 16.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! By the way, your pics on your sidebar are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea! I won't enter as I already run more than this but it is really good to have a support group cheering you along.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! =) Just found your blog the other day. XOXO! I just bought a treadmill in Feb. AWESOME challenge! I would say I'm a little bit of a runner, hoping to achive "I'm a runner" status.

ReplyDeleteI'm in! okay running... we will see, but I WILL do the 5k training.
ReplyDeleteI'm in...that's my goal to run 3 times/week. I have been doing good for the last 4 weeks! I would love to participate!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally IN! Just started the Couch to 5K running program on Monday, and that is 3x per week, so this is the perfect challenge to help keep me on target! I'll copy your logo and put it in my sidebar of things that I'm participating in right now. Thanks for doing this...I love challenges - they keep me motivated and focused!!!
ReplyDeleteCount me in! I need a reason to get back on the track with my running!
ReplyDeleteOooh I'm in! Am I too late? I'm on week 6 of the C25K so it fits right in with my plan!
