Tuesday’s Recipe: Salmon Pizzas

I seem to be good for about 3 miles of running before the cramps set in these days. Starting out this morning on my run, I felt awesome! Everything was clicking away and feeling good for the first 2 – 2.5 miles. I had planned to do a 20 minute tempo run, but 12 minutes into it, I started to get some cramps in my lower abdomen. I ended up walk/running the last 2 miles, which was a bummer. BUT at least I am running more than I had been.

Craig came home for lunch, so I made salmon pizzas for him. He has been using My Fitness Pal to track his food intake, and since using it, he has realized he has a hard time getting enough protein in his diet. We always have an abundance of salmon, and it is a good, lean protein, so that’s what was on the menu today.

I whipped up these salmon pizzas in no time and they tasted really good. The recipe is actually from my mother-in-law, which she made often for Craig and his brother when they were growing up.

After lunch I took Sadie on a walk around the neighborhood. She was huffing and puffing when we got back and proceeded to sprawl out on the cool hardwood floors afterwards.

Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.
