3 mile night run... Whew!

COLD & absolutely beautiful...

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - From the quote by Chinese philosopher Laozi

Thought I was alone?

2010-02-17T19:58:00.000-08:00

Knowing I would be alone tonight in my 3 mile run... Alone with the COLD and a thick blanket of clouds, which separated me from my usual companions during a night run... the stars & the silvery moon. As an alternative or a substitute I had new companions... SNOW falling gracefully from the sky... Starting slowly with tiny touches to my face, then after a mile or so the SNOW began to stick fast to everything... the ground, my fuzzy jacket, and even my sneaks... My sense of stability was heightened... No Falling, No Falling!!!

The run was Simply Beautiful!!! Even with the danger of falling with every step.

BUT... it was Run # 2??? The hardest run of ALL. After a span of time without running then to begin again... the 2nd day is ALWAYS the worst??? Now tomorrows run will be a welcome change... I hope.

Try This... Yum!

Try this delicious recipe!

Servings: Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients:

Butternut Squash and Sage Soup

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion , chopped (about 2 cups)
2 butternut squashes , peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage , plus 8 to 18 leaves for garnish
4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper , to taste
Vegetable oil , for frying

Directions:

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add squash; cook 5 more minutes. Add chopped sage and broth; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until squash is very tender, about 30 minutes. With an immersion blender, puree soup until smooth (or puree in small batches in a food processor fitted with knife blade). Season to taste with salt and pepper.

In a small pan, heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil until hot. Drop sage leaves in about 3 at a time and fry until just crisp; remove to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve soup hot, garnished with 2 or 3 sage leaves per bowl.
