It’s that time again…
Half marathon training time!
I honestly have not run consistently since the Monumental Half Marathon back in November, but I have maintained my fitness level through indoor cycling, Bodypump, CXWORX, yoga and circuit-style workouts and classes.
Just like last year, I will be a running group leader for the NIFS (the gym I work at) Mini Marathon Training Program. ย We have our first meeting tonight, and our first run scheduled for Wednesday, January 29. ย Considering the record snow and low temperatures we have had this year, I’m hoping the weather will be a little cooperative by then.
After a much needed running break, I am so excited to get back into my running routine!
On a completely unrelated note…I have another recipe for you!
Recently, I have been making a crockpot meal on Sundays to have on hand for nights when Brian and I are short on time. ย This week I got a little creative in the crockpot and created this creamy, warming, tasty concoction.
It is super comforting for the soul and the body. ย For me, curry just makes me feel warm inside and this dish is chock full of nutritious good for you veggies. ย It is a total win, win. ย I hope you enjoy!
Creamy Curry Slow Cooker Meal
Ingredients:
- 16oz coconut milk (the unsweetened kind in the can)
- 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 16oz of water chestnuts, sliced and drained
- 14.5oz canned sprouts, drained
- 1 bag of frozen broccoli
- 1 large carrot, chopped
- 1 Tbsp green curry paste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 16oz shrimp (peeled and deveined)
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients EXCEPT for the shrimp in the crockpot.
- Allow to cook on low for about 6 hours (or until you get home from work!)
- 45-60 minutes before serving, add the shrimp to the mixture.
- Once the shrimp are thoroughly cooked, serve the meal and enjoy!
**I ate mine as a soup, but this would go very well over brown rice or quinoa.
Question of the Morning:
- Are you participating in any races this spring? ย
- Runners: ย Do you take a break from running between races?

I how fun that you run a training group! I could really use something like that at my gym since I find running with others is a lot more fun! ๐
It really helps on those long runs!
Yay! I hope to run a half again this spring (or maybe even try for a hat-trick weekend). Keeping my fingers crossed as I don’t want to push my knee just yet so taking it day by day.
