Hi Kathy!
and if anyone else stops in too!
Today on my rotation schedule was IMAX 3... BUT... I switched it up with Friday's cardio (steady state indoor bicyling), which I ended up substituting a 50 minute run at the park! I guess I didn't really do anything from this week's rotation... LOL!
I even ran up and down a hill, and then up and down the Duck Pond steps for intervals in the middle of my run..
It is also GORGEOUS out today... high 50's when i ran, Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 70's!!! Oh I'm loving it!!! and it puts me in a great mood!!

Oh and a recipe to share! I made this last night, and it was Soooo good! I used extra garlic in the sauce and a 'splash' of Chardonay ...Good stuff!

Chicken Parmigiana
4 servings
1 can (bout 14 oz.) whole tomatoes
1 tbsp. minced fresh basil leves or 1 tsp. dried basil
1 tbsp. minced fresh tarragon or 1 tsp. dried tarragon
1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
4 chicken breasts (about 2 lbs. total), skinned
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
1/2 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese
Puree the basil with the next 4 ingredients in a blender or food processor
until smooth. Set aside.
In a saute pan large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer, heat the
oil and saute the garlic for about 30 seconds. Add the chicken breasts and
brown on both sides.
Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken, bring to a boil, reduce heat,
cover, and simmer until tender, about 15 to 20 min.
Remove the chicken and place in a warm oven-proof dish. Spoon the parsley
into the sauce and spoon it over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the chicken
breasts with mozzarella cheese and place under a heated broiler 1 min., just
until the cheese melts.

Chris, yum!! That sounds good! Your run sounds like fun. 50s is perfect running weather. Yesterday was miserable here - cold and rainy. Today it looks better - the sun is out, but I haven't left my office since I got into work today, so not sure how warm it is.
Kathy, Leaner Legs is tough!
I don't think I checked in yesterday - I did Tracey's Glute Camp and am feeling it today. I also did the biceps and triceps from Gilad's Express workouts. Today was Kelly Coffey Meyers Step Boxing. I think tomorrow will be a rest day - I haven't had one in about 10 days! But some of those I just did upper body weights. Next on my rotation is a circuit workout - I'm thinking about Step, Jump, Pump. That would be Friday's workout. Although I may change my mind before then!
Have a great day everyone and enjoy the weather! I think I'm going to go out for a walk.
