Harvested some chard, collards, turnip and radish greens . I gave them a quick rinse and put in blender with 2 cups of filtered water. Blended until smooth and green.
Added some chia seeds , 2 clementines and 2 Valencia oranges and a scoop of wheatgrass powder. Finished blending and put into 2 bottles. With some ice cubes to drink all morning .
Tastes great today.

Back on the road- a NOT EXACTLY Training Log
Hit the road and did 4- almost 5 miles and did so with no pain in the leg- at least in the area near the repair and screws.
Knees were a little tender but felt better later in the day.
How long until I can run half to 3/4 of a workout?

Running is Good for the legs,knees- Ignore the nay-sayers (Part 1 of 4)
Many doctors- even those that run and work with runners- believe that running is bad for the knees....
Personal trainers- many in an effort to gain clients/ and from their training- preach against running and for intervals with short bursts as well as resistance training and cross training.....
Running magazines include monthly articles as well as regular social media posts about how to deal with running injuries....
Running is not the problem- HOW we run is the problem.
How do we run? How do we get hurt?
Most of us have real lives and jobs and are NOT OLYMPIANS and this means many/most runners that watch their time and PR's end up with some kind of pain and injury.
What Olympians and Professional athletes have is the time to rest and recover and properly cross-train. This total training package limits/prevents injuries because they run daily on "well rested and recovered" muscles and bones.
We who have jobs and lives end up under-rested and over-trained and have down time in a regular series of down time and ice time.
If more people worked out - NOT trained- properly there would be less injuries and less need for good sites like http://www.runninginjuryoracle.com/.
There will be at least 3 more parts in this series....
Good Luck and stay pain free.

Cross Training in the Garden ??
I love to plant my veggies and fruit and enjoy the harvest as summer comes. This year I am still recovering from the leg fracture in November and it is very tiring to work in the garden- Doesn't cool my enjoyment ....
I have beans and greens and onions planted and moving nicely- Cabbage and cauliflower are coming up now:
The brussels sprouts should do well again this year- looking forward to fresh gooddies.
My blackberries and figs are growing nicely and should produce some sweet treats in a few months.
I have a bunch of seedlings yet to plant and will get them in soon. Okra is next and then all the squash varieties.
With the work for the marathon finishing I will have more time to workout and recover from the break and surgery and also play in the garden.
