Mal and I did our first Team In Training track workout on an actual track this afternoon. Both Track Workout 1 and Track Workout 2 were completed inside on a treadmill due to high temps, but today’s cooler weather allowed us to run outside.
I can’t even remember the last time I ran on a track!?! It definitely brought back memories of my senior year of high school. Mal and I were on the same track team back then! 
Track Workout 3
2 lap warm up, 2 X’s 1600M, 4 lap warm down, recovery should be the same amount of time it took you to run the interval
I ran the first 1600M in 7:48; Mal ran it in 6:55. For the second 1600M, I did it in 7:59 and Mal flew in at 6:09! He was en fuego this afternoon!
Dinner
After our track workout, Mal and I headed home to make pizza for dinner. The whole time that I was busting my butt on the track, I brainstormed what ingredients to use on the pizza. (I swear, my brain is always thinking about food! 
)
I ended up coming up with a delicious combination of shredded Gruyere cheese, sauteed onions, minced garlic, sliced Golden Delicious apple, and pecans. Can you say YUM!?!
I ate two pieces while watching Arrested Development with my hubby. (How adorable is Michael Cera!?)
Mal claims that tonight’s pizza is the best that I’ve ever made, which is really nice of him to say. But, I think he said the same thing about my Sausage, Spinach, and Provolone Pizza!
Our home inspection is bright and early tomorrow morning. I’m trying not to freak out, but it’s tough, especially after what happened the last time.
Enjoy the evening, guys!
P.S. I have an update about my book in the morning!

Haha, I ALwAYS think about food when I am running too. The only thing that gets me through my long runs on Saturday mornings is envisioning that big bowl of oatmeal waiting for me when I finish. I definitely run for food!
Go TM go! That pizza looks so good!
@Cati @ crave and create: Stop & Shop brand.
Wow! That pizza looks very creative. I bet it was amazing and made all that running well worth it! I haven’t run the track since high school when I dreaded the mile runs required for PE. I almost wonder how different it would be now?
Oh man, what fun pizza toppings! I would have never dreamed up a pizza like that! It sounds fantastic!

Your pizza is making me drool.
You (and Mal’s) mile times make me want to die.
Between your mile repeats, did you have a recovery?

Your running has really inspired me to stretch myself as a runner and actually sign up for a big race, like the half marathon I’ve been saying I want to do for the last 2 years. Good luck with your training!
What pizza crust did you use? That looks so good.
