DAY 16

I ran 6.1 miles today - my farthest distance since I began training.  It felt good.  Also, I cracked the 120's today for the first time since training began.  Again, water brings it back into the 130's, but the trend has been downward - all systems go.

I read online about a great post-run meal.  It consists of 3 ounces of diced chicken breast, 1/3 cup of brown rice, red pepper, onion, garlic and shaved ginger root.  I added a 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric.  It tasted amazing!  Couldn't resist snapping a photo (see below).
