A twenty mile run requires serious cross training to aid recovery. Yesterday's cross training: participating in a pumpkin cook-off.
1. Prepare a pumpkin dish - just one rep.
I made a pumpkin gruyere soup with orange and lemon, served inside a hollowed out pumpkin.
2. At party, sample all pumpkin dishes- repeat as needed to achieve maximum fullness.
Tip: focus on the pasta dishes to restore glycogen levels.
3. Roast leftover seeds for snacking. It will help Monday pass more quickly until it's time to go run again.
All I can say is YUM! A pumpkin dish...I have many. I may have to do a whole weekend of pumpkin cooking now.
ReplyDeleteIt was YUM! A weekend of pumpkin cooking? I like the way you think, Nicki. That sounds great.
