I got a bit more than 5 miles and strides on the treadmill.

1 minute high intensity interval/2 minute recovery interval repeated eight times with a short warm-up and cool down added for 3 miles total. Nice dry 43° weather, although no blue in that sky.

9.2 on a (mostly) clear of ice bike path. I did 4X 6 min tempo reps, 2X 20 sec strides on flat, and 2X 25 sec hill strides. The path was great and first time in a month that I really had clear pavement to run on, but the street crossings were icy so I had to slow down for those (about every 1/4 mile). Otherwise, great workout felt better than I had for this entire month.

Savory bread pudding needs work. (The "savory" is onion, a wee bit of garlic, rosemary, kalamata olive & gruyere.  And salt & pepper).  The recipe I was referencing really had too long a cook time, but the cheese formed a crust so it did not dry out.  I did not have enough of any of the seasoning other than onion.  I like my seasoning!


Sweet bread pudding is successful (but better with maple bacon on top).  Just hadn't made it in so long, I wanted to run a test.  Converting from a 9x13 pan recipe to an 8x8 pan recipe does not work neatly at all, but it was close enough. I might have had a tad too much bread, as it tasted fairly light for a bread pudding.  The bread wasn't fully immersed so it was crunchy on top, but it worked for me.  I liked it.  I'll probably do it "right" on Christmas (when I do the full 9x13 and do the bacon) but this was good too.

Converting from a recipe in a 9x13 pan to 8x8 has been more complicated than expected.  (I found a similar enough recipe that should have helped, but I think the cook time was way off.  I think the rosemary kalamata gruyere bread pudding is going to be too dry.  I am not doing the sweet one that long & I think it will be better; plus it has a sauce.)  This is why I ran a test kitchen night.  (Although I'll definitely be doing a 9x14 of the sweet bread pudding on Christmas, so I can follow the recipe more closely (aside from using bourbon instead of brandy & adding crumbled maple bacon instead of pecans).

4 miles on the treadmill. I'm on call for work this week so it will be an interesting taper week with one more speed workout on Christmas.

10 miles around 11 AM. It was sunny but chilly at 35°F and windy. I took it relatively easy but 10 miles out here is bound to be hilly and this route was no different..

On mile ten my legs felt noticeably stronger than a few months ago when I did that route.

Tough windchill, but 14K worth of run commuting.
