Me and 20 mpw are back together again

Runs

Thursday - 5 miles on the treadmill in 50 minutes. A progressive from 5.0 mph to 10.0 mph at the end. Most were between 5.5 and 6.0

Sunday - 10 miles in 1:36 with Bob and Sonny at Waterfall Glen. Nice run. It started snowing a mile into our run. It was peaceful, and picturesque. No plantar fascia issues.

20 mpw (miles per week) and I are like an old couple that always seem to get back together. I can try and spice things up with 30 mow or even 40 mpw, but my body tells me that I was made to be with 20 mpw. That's the mileage that I can sleepwalk through without trying. During the summer, I am going to make an effort to do the Pfitzinger 55 mpw plan. My body has never handled much more than 40 mpw so we'll see. I think I am ready for this new mistress.

Culinary
Friday - had dinner at Francesca's hole in the Wall. It's a small, Italian place that doesn't take reservations. It is small, and the owners walk around and mingle with the customers like old friends. They have a daily menu and can make anything you want. I had a Cappelini with tomato arrabiata sauce with Spinach and Artichokes. Out of this world. We eat there about 1x/year- which makes no sense since it is one of the best places we go to. We went and saw Syriana afterwards. I really liked this movie. I was a big fan of Traffic and Crash, both of which have similar styles of moviemaking. They follow several storylines that seem to be unrelated, but are actually very intricately connected.

Saturday - I made 2 loaves of wheat bread, mixing the dough in our new KitchenAid. I made white bread last week. Later that day, I made corn tortillas. They were all very good.

Sunday - I made some Pizza dough. We made 2 pizzas
Pizza #1: Sun dried Tomatoes, Fresh Buffalo mozzarella an basil
Pizza #2 - mozzarella (Buffalo), Roasted red Peppers and Artichoke hearts

I bought some unglazed quarry tiles from Home Depot to serve as my pizza stone after our "Authentic" stone broke. The tiles I bought from Home Depot cost $2.75, for 2 12 inch tiles. The "Authentic" stone was $30 or 40. Good move, if I say so myself.
