Something fun and new

This weekend my husband and I did a little trail running. All I can say is that it completely destroyed my body. Now don't worry it's in a good way though. It's just crazy how many different muscles you use running trails. Trail running lets you get lost in nature and focus on just you and your surroundings. It's nice to get away from the city and adventure out into the wild. You come back feeling a little clearer:) Trust me nothing else will be, for I was coated in mud. I also learned a valuable lesson, never stop to walk through mud, just run through those sloppy piles. I tried and the first option is not a good one. Let's just say the mud won.

So the hidden meaning behind my trail running is to get out there and try something new. Yea it maybe uncomfortable and scary at first. Heck yes it's going to be, but who knows you may end up loving it and be thankful you went out on the limb and did something new. So get out there, try a new sport, meet someone new, try running a different route, or try a new food. The world is full of possibilities and it would be a shame if you missed out on them.

On a completely another note, I just wanted to let you guys know I have painted my toenails. Now your probably saying why do I care?? And well your right, but this will probably be one of the only times I do for the summer. Being a runner, I have disgusting feet. Half the time toenails are missing, blisters coat the tops of my toes, calluses have formed, or they just don't look right. I have downright ugly runners feet and I am proud of that. So enjoy the pic of my nasty feet and the beautiful colored toenails:) Aren't they robin egg like? So festive for Easter:)

So another new recipe for you is Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers and these were delicious. As we were making dinner Sunday night I decided to throw in some extras to spice up my turkey burgers. So long and behold my refrigerator had spinach and feta just sitting in there, so figured why not use it.
I have listed the recipe below, these are now a fan favorite of mine and glad I can share them with you! Enjoy and happy spring!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 handfuls of spinach
- 3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- garlic salt
Steps
1. Place ground turkey in bowl and add diced onions. Then sprinkle a few dashes of garlic salt. Now being an Italian, the more garlic the better so I do a good 4-5 shakes. If you don't want to keep vampires away, just do 2-3.
2. Go wash your hands!! The meat juice is gross and I want you have clean hands before adding that leafy spinach to your mix:)
3. Take a handful of spinach and rip it up in your hands to make it into smaller pieces. Add this to the turkey. I did two handfuls of spinach. You want to make sure it's ripped enough so it mixes well.
4. Next,  take feta and add to mixture.
5. Mix the turkey, spinach, and cheese together. Mash it with your hands and then form into patties.
6.  Place finished patties on a plate and then make your husband or loved one grill them up:) mine is great at grilling so that's his specialty. After they are finished grilling, put on a whole wheat low carb bun and enjoy. These are one of my favs! Plus your getting some veggies in that burger:) win win situation don't ya think.
