making your own take out

yesterday I got back to the YMCA for a run on the treadmill.  after having 3 days off I was worried that I wouldn't be able to successfully complete what I consider to be a decent run.  I surprised myself and ran 4 miles.

I managed to have negative splits as well:

mile 1 - 8:03

mile 2 - 15:35 (7:32 pace)

mile 3 - 22:57 (7:22 pace)

mile 4 - 30:12 (7:15 pace)

4.09 miles - 31 minutes

Once I got home I worked on making some delicious Chinese "take out."  I used the recipe for CRAB RANGOON off the Nasoya website and baked them instead of frying.  

I also made some FRIED RICE using an egg, green onions, soy sauce, and brown rice.  I added some Sriracha sauce upon serving for some spice.

The main star of the meal was SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN, using a recipe from the blog, Life as a Lofthouse. 

The meal was delicious and a great alternative to ordering Chinese food from a local restaurant.
