4 mile run, 32 minutes. Good, easy, recovery type run. My knees were sore at the end (inside of the left knee, and outside of the right knee). Taking Tuesday off I think, except for some body weight working out, and some core stuff. Oh, and some good stretching.

Dinner tonight: Vegan Lentil Stew
1 cup green lentils
3 cups veggie broth
2 cups water
1/2 white onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper diced
1 carrot, diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
1/2 zucchini, diced
1/2 yellow squash, diced
1 tbsp each of curry powder, chili powder, tumeric, and garam masala (if you have them)
1 glug of red wine
Salt and Pepper to taste

Saute the veggies until they are sweating. Add the lentils, water, broth, and seasonings and bring to a good, rolling boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes. I served this with some roasted red potatoes, but ate it for lunch today over some whole wheat pasta. It is freaking delicious, and really hit the spot after a cold, windy run. And it's a very easy recipe, we usually have all the fixins in our cabinets. Yummy.
