RUN

This week we recap a 5K from Virtual Pace Series, the May the 4th Be With You 5K. This race is from the Virtual Pace Series website. You might remember that we completed the Top Run Challenge from their collection and talked about it on episode 108 and 109. Our April race in Orlando at Walt Disney World, the Rival Run Challenge, was canceled, of course. So, that led us to complete a couple of different Star Wars virtual races from Virtual Pace Series to get our Star Wars race fix in at home. The medal is amazing, and this race also featured a bib that gave us numbers and, on the other side, finisher certificate.

EAT

In a week, we will all be celebrating Memorial Day Weekend. Usually, this is a long holiday weekend for most, filled with friends, family, and cookouts indicating the unofficial start of summer. While that may not be the case this year, we wanted to feature a recipe we discovered in The Healthspan Solution that will help us celebrate the holiday weekend with a classic dish that you might see at cookouts: potato salad. You will remember that we featured the Healthspan Solution on episode 108 and 109 as well when we were lucky enough to talk with authors Julieanna Hever and Ray Cronise. This dish, the Herbed Dijon Potato Salad is only one tasty salad recipe in the book that is hearty, filling, and makes us feel like we are celebrating, even though we are not necessarily indulging in a typical, high-calorie potato salad that may have the mayonnaise, bacon, and salt that we are trying to eliminate as we train for fall races.

The Healthspan Solution has great recipes that are plant-based and flavorful! And you can add protein while increasing the nutrient-dense content in your meals without sacrificing flavor.

You can get the hardback version of the book
