This week was a great week in the kitchen of Drew Streip: omelettes on three separate occasions, served over cornbread, with spinach and diced tomatoes on top; lemon-pepper chicken, browned whole wheat gnocchi and sauteed spinach; fruit-and-yogurt smoothies to help keep my weight up. Maybe I went heavy on the produce this week, but you can never have too many veggies.
I encountered this article on inflammation, which I have been fighting all week in my ankle and IT-band (read: knee). So in addition to my firefighting foods, I've been on a steady diet of ibuprofen. And I checked with a researcher at UT Medical Center who basically confirmed that my intestines aren't going to hemorrhage if I take a little bit more than the bottle says.
Yay, science!
We're a month away from our first race at the Natchez Trace state park, so now is the time to take care of ourselves and start really training for the event. A spin class tonight at TRECS should help that.
UPDATE: It didn't help. My legs are now Jell-O.
