The Wasatch Woman 6K walk/10K run is in a week, and I haven't been training all that much since school started again, and I lost my teenage babysitters during the day. So, I decided to run 3 miles today when Zen didn't have to go to work until 10am this morning. To my surprise, I could still do it! So, even though my legs started feeling tired and stiff by the end, I completed 3 miles. I know the 6k walk/run will be harder next week, not just because it's about 3.76 miles, but also because there is some uphill terrain making it harder to deal with. But I'm gonna do it. Challenge is still good!

Peanut Butter Cookies - Gil's favorite flavor
1 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
3 egg whites (or 2 whole eggs)
2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
2-1/2 cups flour
80 calories per 19g cookie (melon-ball size of dough)
Place melon-ball size balls of dough on a cookie sheet. Bake at 325 for 9 to 11 minutes, just until the bottoms of the cookies are a light brown, or caramel, color. These have a tendency to brown too fast, that is why I took the temp from 350 down to 325.
Pizza Dough - my standard. For more fiber you can substitue 1/4 to 1/3 of the white flour with whole wheat flour.
1-1/4 cup warm water
1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
3 Tbsp. canol oil
4 cups flour
1-1/4 tsp. salt
1-1/4 tsp. sugar
3 oz. dough has 210 calories
Frankly, I just stick it in a bread machine, and let it rip. I'm not that crazy about kneading dough by hand. But you can do it if you have to.
