This was week 23 on my marathon training schedule, and that means it was my second-to-last long run: 23 miles. That's 37K! For those who've never trained for a distance running event - most training plans max out at less than the actual race distance. So for a marathon, you top out at 20 miles in training and trust to adrenaline to get you the rest of the way on race day. But Galloway's plans have you run the actual race distance a month before the event. That means in three weeks I'll be running the full 26.2 miles / 42.2 kilometers. It's daunting to contemplate, but I remember that JayDub said he regretted not running the whole distance before his first marathon. I don't want to toe the line on race day without 100% confidence that I can last the distance. So without further ado... I ran 23 miles yesterday! It was even more of an accomplishment considering that I started coming down with a cold the day before. But I got it done, and I'm so, so happy. It took me five-and-a-half hours, and I finished with a big smile on my face. Read on for the detailed run report. [more...] Sunday, April 24, 2011
This is our 13th cooking/blogging experiment from Jamie's 30 Minute Meals. We went with "Wonky Summer Pasta, Herby Salad, and Pear Drop Tartlets." We picked this recipe because we had tart cases left over from the Frangipane Tarts, and because I was carb-loading in preparation for a really long run. We hadn't seen this particular episode, but upon Googling I found a dodgy site that let us watch it online. We felt like we had a good chance of bringing this one in under 30 minutes!  Substitutions: We used smoky bacon instead of pancetta, simply because it was easier to find. I bought a fancy bag of mixed salad greens at the Farmer's Market rather than go for the watercress/rocket he used. We used strawberry jam instead of raspberry in the tarts. Other than that, everything else was as-written. Quick verdict: Pretty nice! This is one of the easiest and quickest meals in the book. The pasta and the tarts didn't turn out 100% fantastic, but we suspect those flaws were in our preparation rather than the recipe. (More on that in a minute.) The salad was a highlight for me, definitely one of the best in the book so far. Our elapsed time was 33:26 (fastest one yet!), and I think we could easily get this one down under 30 with practice. In terms of score, it's hard to say. If we had done everything perfectly, it probably would have been an 8.5 or a 9 out of 10. Our actual preparation probably only merited a 7.5 or 8 out of 10 though. Read on for a photo essay of the preparation, including our mistakes! [more...]

I was interested to see that the article made no mention of the whole "Neo-Nazis invade Humanist Society" scandal from last year. Anybody know what finally happened with that? At the time I actually emailed about joining, thinking they could at least use my postal vote to kick out the fascists. But they never did get back to me... Friday, April 22, 2011
The week started out crappy - what with my mystery cheek infection and being on antibiotics and all - but slowly got better. Sunday I went out for a six-miler with the Snook, with a planned "Magic Mile" time trial for the second mile. We pushed hard and I felt like I was going to barf or explode by the end of it. I was thrilled to see our time was 9:46! Using Galloway's Race Predictor and our average times for the past 3 MMs, that gives me a predicted marathon finish time of 5:39:28. Sweet! Monday I was wiped out so I rested. Tuesday I went out for an easy lunchtime run, and Wednesday I did a Spudds workout. Now we're on a 5-day Easter/ANZAC day holiday long weekend, so the Snook went with me today for a run to Glebe. My hamstring still isn't great, but I'm hoping it'll hold up for Sunday's long, long one! Apr. 17: 9.67km Apr. 19: 5.52km Apr. 22: 5.80km Total this week: 20.99km (13.1mi) Total in 2011: 380.21km (237.6mi) In order to meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 338.5km right now. So I've still got more than 40km worth of cushion. Only 7 weeks to go! Thursday, April 21, 2011
This made me laugh and laugh. That's pretty much what I expect it to be like! (Link courtesy of This Running Life.)
 Zucchini BreadWe're coming to the end of zucchini season, I think, but we're still getting a couple big ones in each weekly veggie box from Food Connect Sydney. Last weekend as a special treat I made them into the Snook's favourite: Zucchini Bread. It's actually not that well known in Australia, which is odd because it's similar to Banana Bread and they love that here. Anyway, I thought I'd document the recipe since everyone who tastes it ends up asking for it! Here it is: 1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour 1 t. ground cinnamon 1/2 t. baking soda 1/4 t. baking powder 1/4 t. salt 1/4 t. ground nutmeg 1 c. sugar 1 c. finely shredded, unpeeled zucchini 1/4 c. cooking oil 1 egg 1/4 t. finely shredded lemon peel 1/2 c. chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) 1. Butter the bottom and halfway up the sides of your loaf tin. (If you butter all the way up the sides, your bread will sink down when you take it out of the oven.) In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients (the first six on the list) together. I never bother to sift; I just stir it really well. 2. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients (sugar, oil, zucchini, egg, lemon) together. Add the dry ingredients to this bowl and stir just until everything's moistened. (It'll be lumpy. That's good.) Fold in the nuts if you're using them. 3. Dump into your loaf pan. Bake in a 350F/180C oven for 50-55 minutes or til a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then take it out of the pan and cool as long as you can bear not to eat it. Makes one loaf. (My photo shows two because I doubled it.) I like it warm with butter on top. You can even toast it, if you're weird like the Snook. Read on if you want to see photos of the preparation! [more...]
 Eyelet Yoke CardiganOne of my co-workers just had his first baby - a little girl - so I decided to knit something for him. I had some Morris Empire 4ply in #436 Bloom that I thought would be perfect. I went to Ravelry to look for suitable baby cardigans with patterns that wouldn't compete too much with the variegated wool. (And no Baby Surprise! I am going to come out of the closet and admit that I think they're pretty ugly. I'm going to stop torturing myself by knitting them.) Anyway, I found this Eyelet Yoke Cardigan that seemed like it would work. It was really quick to knit up, and I used less than 2 balls of the Empire (on 3.5mm needles). The eyelet details on the yoke (pic), sleeves, and waist kept it fun and interesting. For the buttons, I was pleased to find 5 similar-ish buttons (pic) in my stash all in colours that matched the wool. Hooray for mismatched buttons! (More details on Ravelry here.) I gave the cardy to Fei this morning and he was thrilled! I can't wait to see pics of it on his little girl. Wednesday, April 20, 2011
 Ptinutz (aka Amanda) has won my drawing* for Marshall Ulrich's book Running on Empty: An Ultramarathoner's Story of Love, Loss, and a Record-Setting Run Across America. Thanks to those who left comments!*I disregarded the comments from me, Steve, and Heather. That left six comments, and the generator came up with 3!

This is our 12th cooking/blogging experiment from Jamie's 30 Minute Meals. I knew the lucky streak had to end at some point! This was was a DUD. I was feeling cocky so we decided to go for another "challenging" meal: Liver & Bacon, Onion Gravy, Smashed Potato, Dressed Greens, and Berry & Custard Ripple. Unfortunately we ran into a lot of problems. We didn't have the matching TV episode (as far as I can tell, it hasn't aired yet anywhere), so we were working from just the recipe. It wasn't til after we bought all the ingredients that we realised it was going to require FOUR stove burners... and we only have three. So we had to get creative. I'd like to say it was all worth it in the end, but to be honest, I found this one pretty underwhelming.  Substitutions and changes: We used the potatoes we had on hand, rather than the red-skinned called for in the recipe. We couldn't find calves' liver and had to settle for lambs' liver. For the "seasonal greens," we went with silverbeet. Our fresh berries were raspberries, and the tinned fruit was peaches. Quick verdict: Meh. It was liver. I haven't had it very often, and I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan. We tried to cook it to specification but it was still a bit tough and dry. (The Snook thinks it was overcooked.) The mash, greens, and gravy were all fine, if a bit ordinary. The dessert was kind of a mess. There wasn't really a good photo in the book, so we had to just follow the instructions. Total elapsed time was 46:11, but given our cooktop limitations, you can't really go by that. I rated it a 7 out of 10, while the Snook gave it an 8. Read on for photos of the preparation. [more...]

 The upside to being sick is you get a lot of reading done. Today I finished Running on Empty: An Ultramarathoner's Story of Love, Loss, and a Record-Setting Run Across America. I got sent a sneak preview of this a few weeks ago by the publisher! It's the true story of Marshall Ulrich, an extreme athlete and ultramarathoner who, at 57, ran all the way from Los Angeles to New York City. (YouTube video) If you want to get your own copy - and I highly recommend it - it's just gone on sale and there are some special promotional deals on his site. OR you could just win a copy right here! Avery Books have given me a copy to give away to one of my blog readers. If you'd like to win it, just leave a comment on this post. Next Wednesday at noon, I'll use a random number generator pick a winner.Now for my review... I cracked this book open expecting something light-hearted and fun, maybe in a similar vein to Chris McDougal's Born to Run. By the end of the first couple chapters though, I didn't actually like Ulrich very much. He's a flawed hero, and the touching story of how he got started in running (as a way to deal with stress from his first wife's death from cancer) quickly sours when he begins to use running as a way to push his subsequent wives and children away from him. He spends a lot of time away from home. He participates in some extremely dangerous events (such as climbing Everest) when when his family beg him not to. Once his mind is fixed upon this transcontinental journey, none of his wife Heather's entreaties can dissuade him. He even admits to feeling resentful of the time she spent caring for her dying father! I wasn't sure I liked this guy at all. And then somehow, once he actually got on the road and started running... Ulrich started to win me over. I started to cheer him on. Yeah, the guy's clearly a nut. (He had all his toenails SURGICALLY REMOVED, for goodness' sake!) He has his flaws, just like everybody else. But with every step, he was convincing me - and his wife, and his crew - that this was a goal worth pursuing. His descriptions of the misery of the run and the brief moments of transcendent happiness will be familiar to every runner. I winced with every injury and setback. (The photo of his feet after his plantar fascia ruptures? HORROR. I am going to hug my podiatrist next time I see him.) As an expat American, I also loved the attention he paid to each state and all the varied landscapes he ran across. I was especially amused to see the mention of his friend running to Fort Wayne to buy him new gear in Indiana and how happy it made him. (Hoosiers, represent!) I've never really had the urge to drive across the U.S. - much less run the whole way - but he got me thinking about it. One thing I liked about that book is that it isn't a straight progression from A to B. Sure, the main storyline is his run across America, but he uses that as a jumping off point to discuss his own running career, the history of ultramarathons, charities that he supports, people who meet and run with him, and even worthy local businesses along the route. The constant threat of catastrophic injury looms on every page, and the personal relationships (and internal politics) of his support team get strained. And then there's Charlie! He actually was doing this event with someone else, but as you can probably guess, that doesn't really go according to plan. I found myself feeling the most sympathy towards Ulrich's wife, Heather. She didn't want him to do this thing, but once he committed, she was supporting him 100%. (I will admit my jaw dropped when he described crawling into the RV with her, stinking and dirty after 18 hours of running, only to paw at her like a teenager because the run was screwing with his sex drive!) Ulrich is not stingy with praise for his wife or the other members of his crew. They worked their asses off for very little reward other than seeing him reach his goal. The acknowledgements at the end of the book are vast, and that's what finally turned my opinion of this guy around. He may have been self-centered in setting the goal, but he certainly wasn't when it came to giving credit to everyone who helped along the way. Couple other things I liked: The book includes a neat graphic along the bottom of most pages so you can see how far along (and how high up) he is at any given point. It's got some great photos sprinkled throughout, even though every now and then you see one you wish you hadn't (like the aforementioned feet). There are several Appendices that give information I was curious about, like the logistics of planning and carrying out a run like this. (He even gives sample training plans! Yeah, not doing that.) Overall I'm probably no closer to understanding why Marshall Ulrich feels compelled to push himself to such extremes. But he admits, neither is he. He starts by running away from guilt and responsibility, but by the end of his run he's running towards something new. A chance to rest; a chance to reconcile with his family; a chance to reflect on a long career. I hope he found what he was looking for.
So the Easter Show is upon us once more, which means it's the time of year when Kris busts her ass to finish some gargantuan knitting project only to have it unceremoniously dumped in the corner of the display with no pretty award ribbons attached. I hate to sound bitter, but it's really getting annoying to see the same (ugly) styles winning certain categories every year. I gave up on Arans after I realised that "cream" and "bobbles" were necessary ingredients. This year I thought I was playing it safe with the Snook's Hipster Cardigan. Well, not only did I not get a ribbon, but they didn't even award a first place in my class! (In previous years when that occurred, the judges explained it was because no entry was up to the "blue ribbon standard.") It's perplexing. And it's not just sour grapes; other deserving entries also lost out to inexplicably awful designs. (There were some worthy winners of course, especially those from my friends like Miss Fee!) I guess I'll just wait to see if they give me any actual judging feedback. (I'm guessing not.) Oh well, at least the Snook will have a warm jumper to wear this winter!

Two weeks ago we joined Kunaal for a special Popcorn Taxi screening of the new sci-fi comedy "Paul". Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (aka the guys from "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz") were actually there to talk about the film and do a Q&A with us afterwards. It was really cool! Popcorn Taxi's posted video of it on YouTube if you're interested. (Part 1 / Part 2) We all enjoyed the movie quite a lot. I'd probably say it's not as funny as their other ones, mostly because the humour is a lot more broad. It's still full of awesome geek references though. Anyway, the cinema was in the Bondi Junction Westfield shopping mall, so afterwards we headed for the elevators to leave. While we were standing waiting for the lift to arrive, Simon, Nick, and their whole entourage suddenly came around the corner for the lifts too. One was about to arrive, so I turned to Nick and said, "That one's free if you guys want it." He said thanks and nodded and they all headed into the lift. The three of us stepped back and decided to take the escalators instead to avoid the crowd. And then I nearly fell over excitedly tweeting it on the way out to the taxis. How excitement! Last Saturday our Knitters Guild meeting was moved to Kings Cross (due to Surry Hills being booked for the Writers Festival). We always break in the middle for tea, so me, Miss Fee, Merrin, and Margaret went for a walk to get coffees. We were standing outside a cafe in Potts Point waiting for our coffee when suddenly, stepping up onto the footpath in front of me was THE COMMANDO. I actually stopped talking mid-sentence when I realised it was him. He was wearing his trademark sunnies, but other than that he was totally casual in jeans, sneakers, and a pink T-shirt. Once he moved up the street a bit, I took a sneaky photo of him. He's shorter in real life than I thought. But, uh, dude can fill out a T-shirt. That's all I'm sayin'. This Sunday we're going to the Opera House for a special talk by Sir Terry Pratchett. Looking forward to that one. Maybe we'll bump into him by the lifts too! I almost had another one. I was utterly convinced for about 10 seconds the other night that Alan Brough was drinking in the laneway outside that annoying tiny bar next to Morris & Sons in the city. When I got closer though I saw it was just some other giant Kiwi in a checked shirt. Damn.
After last week's monumental distance, this week ended up being a lot shorter. Sunday I went out for my scheduled 10K with the Snook. We did 1:1 all the way to Newtown where we met Miss Fee for a jog around Sydney Park. Great run with good friends! Monday I was feeling frisky so I did a Spudds circuit in the evening. It was a good workout, but my hamstring was feeling pretty tender afterwards. Tuesday I gave blood, so a deserved day of rest. Wednesday I meant to do Spudds again, but I felt pretty crappy. My allergies were acting up, and I had an awful sinus headache. I piked and rested. Thursday I still had the headache, but I dragged myself out for an easy jog at lunchtime. That afternoon, I discovered the point of my left cheek/jaw was tender and sore... which meant my mystery infection has returned! (My doctor suspects an infected salivary gland.) I took Friday off to rest and get antibiotics. WHAT A SUCKY WEEK. Apr. 10: 10.31km Apr. 14: 4.71km Total this week: 15.02km (9.4mi) Total in 2011: 359.22km (224.5mi) In order to meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 317.3km right now. So I've still got a hefty 40km cushion. One more week of cutback before the next long one. Hopefully I'll be feeling better by then! Edited to add: I've just re-read last week's entry... and I TOTALLY JINXED MYSELF, DIDN'T I? Gahhh.

One of my New Year's resolutions was to be more charitable. The Snook and I are incredibly lucky: we both have good jobs; we're paying off our mortgage; we save more than we spend. We should do more to help out those less fortunate. Here's a list of causes that I've supported in the past few months in case you'd like to join me: Jump Rope for Heart - This is a yearly event that my little brother Joey participates in to raise money for the American Heart Association. I'm really proud of him. Last year he was the 2nd highest fundraiser in his whole school! Disco Red Cross Appeal - This page was set up by my friend Lara, who felt powerless in the wake of the Queensland floods, Christchurch earthquake, and Japanese tsunamis. She's asking folks to make a small sacrifice and donate the money to the Red Cross. Me, I gave up some of the cash I would've spent on a box of red wine. (Me = classy.) Slow Runners Club Run Chicago - Diabetes Action Team - I've been enjoying the Slow Runners Club podcast for a while now. Eddie recently lost his Mom to diabetes and the two guys are running the Chicago Marathon in her memory. They're also raising funds for diabetes research. As an added thank-you for donations, the guys are offering entry into their private online coaching program. I'm looking forward to it! Australian Red Cross Blood Service - I've been meaning to start donating blood again. I haven't actually donated in ten years (mostly because that time was so traumatic). I saw a poster recently advertising the big new fancy Donor Centre at Town Hall though, so I decided to go for it. I rang them up yesterday and made an appointment. And this morning, I went in and did it!  As recommended, I was well-hydrated and fed. The new Centre is great, all gleaming and high-tech. Since it was my first donation in Australia, I had to go through all the paperwork and interviews and such. They also checked my blood pressure and haemoglobin levels. (139 g/L - perfect! I am the Hermione of Haemoglobin.) Then I got led off to a big comfy robotic chair in front of a large TV, where a nice lady prepped me. I was worried they wouldn't hit a vein easily - I've given other nurses trouble - but she got it on the first go. I was hooked up for about 7 minutes, and according to the little machine they got 480mL from me. Afterwards I got to rest in the chair to make sure I wouldn't faint, and then it was off to the refreshments area for some food and drink. Overall it was my best donation experience yet, and I will definitely be repeating it. (I'm tempted to donate plasma, since they said that was better for those who train a lot since it doesn't deplete your red blood cells.) Big thumbs up! Monday, April 11, 2011

This is our 11th cooking/blogging experiment from Jamie's 30 Minute Meals. This week's meal was "Grilled Sardines, Crispy Halloumi, Watercress Salad & Figs, Thick Chocolate Mousse." Frankly, this is the recipe in the book that scared me the most. I was a "pescaphobe" for most of my life, and it's only in the last five years or so that I've come to enjoy seafood. Whole fish with bones and heads are basically my Everest. I knew we'd have to get to this one eventually though, so I thought it was time to meet my fears head on. Luckily it was easy to make and DELICIOUS! I ate every bit. (I'm as shocked as you are!)  Substitutions and changes: We were able to get everything. We even went with the suggested chilled rosé as an accompaniment! The only change was making a half recipe each of the sardines and the mousse, just because it was only the two of us eating it. Quick verdict: As a meal, this all went together extremely well and the flavours of the components all complemented each other. (Better so than many of the other recipes.) The sardines were brilliant and the strong aromatics with them masked any potential "fishiness." Elapsed time was 39:29, but that included about 5 annoying minutes of faffing about with pomegranates. This was a pretty quick one! We're both rating it as our first official 10/10. If you make this meal for someone, they will be impressed! Read on for photos of the preparation.

Woohoo! Probably my longest running week EVER. I had my excellent 20-miler on Sunday, then two easy 5K runs through the week to recover. I also managed a session at Spudds on Wednesday. My right hamstring/butt/hip is still a bit tight, but I'm being vigilant about gentle stretching and taking walk breaks on these runs. I'm also thrilled to report that I have OFFICIALLY SIGNED UP for the Macleay River Marathon 2011 on June 12th. Only 66 days to go! Apr. 3: 33.08km Apr. 5: 5.10km Apr. 8: 5.51km Total this week: 43.69km Total in 2011: 344.2km (215.1mi) To meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 296km. Wow. I'm up to nearly 50km of cushion. I don't necessarily want to revise the goal upwards yet though, as I'm sure my mileage will drop off after the marathon. I'm definitely thinking Bay Run, City 2 Surf, and Sydney Running Festival as my winter/spring goals, so that will keep me training. But I know from last year that a cushion can disappear pretty quickly, especially if you get sick... *KNOCK ON WOOD* Thursday, April 7, 2011

Man, does April Fools' Day suck or what? It used to be amusing, but now it's just 85 of my Facebook friends all linking to the same Google prank. It was funnier when you actually had to work to figure out which news stories were true and which were fake. But of course, Friday had another significance in our house. On that day, eleven years ago, the Snook and I first kissed in London. We've been practically (and literally) married ever since. (Him: "I don't think other people celebrate Hook-up Anniversaries." Me: "SHUSH. We do.") In honour of the day, we went out for dinner at Porteño in Surry Hills. I've wanted to go there ever since the official SMH review called the lamb "f--king amazing." It did not disappoint. We had the lamb, the blood sausage, and the brussels sprouts. SO GOOD. The place also has a serious retro vibe going on, so it was fortunate that I got frocked up for the occasion. (The hostess actually asked me if it was a Yoshi Jones dress. I told her it was from Heartbreaker.) The only downside to the meal is that we were both totally suffering from over-indulgence all day Saturday. I was in a lamb fat coma for like 24 hours straight... The second momentous occurrence from the weekend was that I finally finished my entry for the Easter Show knitting competition. I made a Hipster Cardigan for the Snook. I don't have any photos of the completed garment yet though. The shoulders came out weirdly pointy from my blocking, and it looked kind of odd when he modelled it. (I think it'll be fine for the show since they'll just hang it on fishing line anyway.) But I think I'll need to give it a proper wash once it's home before we do a photo shoot. I was also meant to have a toy and some mittens to go with it... but yeah, that didn't happen. Totally overambitious this year. Note to self: You can't train for a marathon AND knit three Show entries. Marathon training provided the third momentous achievement of the weekend: I ran TWENTY MILES today! That's 32K. (Well, actually I did 33K.) It took me nearly five hours, but I did it. The amazing thing is that I felt totally great the whole run and actually enjoyed myself! I think I've finally hit the magic combination of run/walk intervals (1:1), nutrition (Hammer Gels in apple/cinnamon are SO GOOD), and hydration (Hammer Endurolytes meant no cramps at all!). I wrote a long run report over at dailymile that I'll reproduce here after the jump. Like I said, MOMENTOUS WEEKEND! [more...] Saturday, April 2, 2011

I'm still having some hamstring issues. This is my last cutback week before the 20-miler on Sunday, so I'm trying to rest it as much as I can. Sunday night I went out for a 10K and recorded my best "Magic Mile" time yet: 9:49! Monday night I had an hour-long massage focusing on my legs and butt, and it was pretty brutal. Tuesday I did an easy run at lunchtime just to try to shake out the soreness from the massage. Wednesday was my Spudds class, where I had a good workout. Today I've got the day off work, so I decided to turn my normal Friday run into a brisk walk to Newtown and back (to save my legs for Sunday). I'm still counting it in my mileage though. :) Mar. 27: 9.74km Mar. 29: 5.01km Apr. 1: 5.32km Total this week: 20.07km (12.5mi) Total in 2011: 300.51km (187.8mi) To meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 275km right now. That leaves me with about 25km worth of cushion. This Sunday will be my longest run ever: 20 miles (32km). I'm actually looking forward to it. I have my route planned out. I have a few friends who've volunteered to run parts of it with me. I've got Endurolytes, energy gels, a Mophie Juice Pack Air to extend my iPhone battery, and a new SPIbelt to carry it all in. LET'S DO THIS. |
