Have you had these before? They are one of those things that I must have walked by 678 times in the grocery store and never gave them a thought. I happened to pick some up to make the recipe below, and all of a sudden I'm finding any and all opportunity to use them: on salad, on pizza, in wraps...wherever I need a shot of flavor and some pretty red color.
This recipe (if you can even call it that) is courtesy of Chalene Johnson's book PUSH, which is a great read. You should pick it up for some valuable advice on fitness and setting goals for yourself!
Roasted Red Pepper and Hummus Wrap
Ingredients:
- Whole wheat tortilla
- Hummus
- Roasted red peppers
- Feta cheese
Take your tortilla, smear it with some hummus, sprinkle it with feta, and slap one of those gorgeous roasted red peppers on there. Roll it up, add a few baby carrots and celery, and there's your delicious, healthy lunch!
If you want to get fancy with it, add 1/2 an avocado and some spinach. Super fancy? Buy some of that garlic herb feta. That stuff is the bomb!

Half-marathon training update:
The training schedule is going really well. It's kind of cool that each weekend I run a new personal "furthest." This weekend was 11 miles, which I ran at a 9:15 average pace. If I want to keep up with Zach on race day it will need to be more like 9:00 average, and I'm hopeful that I can do that.
On race day we will wake up early and eat something, plus have some Energy and Endurance beforehand, which always juices me up. Combine those two things with the excitement of race day, and I should be able to knock some time off my average. Right now I'm not eating anything before the long run and only drinking water, and I have been finishing just fine. And surprisingly I haven't felt terribly sore on days after long runs, either. I think saving my running legs by doing PUMP and Insanity is going to work in my favor.
