RUN
This week we talk about running groups. Support, community, and friendship around goals can be an important part of being able to achieve them. Running groups, whether you get virtual support or in-person encouragement can be a key part of pushing forward, especially in challenging times. There are several running groups on Facebook that we belong to and gain so much from. The online community is so strong.
Here are some positive examples of groups we are fortunate to be a part of and talk about this week:
I Love to RUN Community
Runcation Nation
The Extra Mile Podcast Group
Be Our Guest Lizards
We are also lucky enough to have an in-person running group in our town. The Cape Coral Running Group is following all the safety guidelines to be able to meet in person. Their runs are most times on Sunday mornings and they welcome anyone at any fitness level, even walkers like Aimee will be when she starts back to her run-walk-run.
We wanted to feature a member of the group and share her journey to provide inspiration, support, and encouragement for anyone in the Runcation Nation that is thinking about trying to join one but may be hesitant to do so. Jennifer Wagner was kind enough to talk to us about her running journey and how the group supports her. Maybe her experience will encourage you, when you can safely of course, to explore your local running groups and give them a try.
EAT
We got requests for great snacks that we eat on a regular basis when we are training or just need something great, healthy, and filling. Our go-to: hummus. This week we talk about the recipe and all the different ways we incorporate hummus into our diet.
Chickpea Hummus Ingredients:
1 Pound (16oz) of Dried Chickpeas
1/2 Cup fo Tahini
2 Tablespoons of Cumin
8 Garlic Cloves
Juice of 3 Lemons
Directions:
We cooked the chickpeas in the instant pot, covering them with water for an hour and let them cool for an hour after. Then we drained them and combined them in the blender with the other ingredients. Blend well to the desired consistency. Store in sealed refrigerator-safe container for the week.
Serving Suggestions:
Crudités Platter
Hummus Toast (We top with walnuts and sriracha)
Stuffed Mushrooms
DRINK
This week we try a drink that is a bit out of the ordinary. The Green Juice Martini was featured on Guy’s Ranch Kitchen. This drink is full of green veggies like cucumber, kale, and celery plus green apples and lemon juice. The recipe calls for parsley, which is typically a flavor that we are not fans of, but thought we should give this a try. The featured spirit in this drink is gin, although we wondered if a different spirit would impact the flavor of the beverage or if the green juice on its own would be tasty. So, we venture into the uncharted territory to see if this is a winner of a beverage.
