I’m trying to experiment with different mid-race fuels so I downed this Lemon Sublime Goo right before we headed to the gym.

Unfortunately I ended up having a frustrating, pathetic work-out.  I wanted to do the same treadmill interval set as yesterday but my legs were not having it.  My left ankle was killing me and my whole leg just felt week.  I ended up stopping at 24minutes (2miles).  Then I moved to the elliptical for 16minutes at level 6, hills.  Lame.

In spite of its patheticness my workout did leave me starving, I ate a spoonful of pb as soon as I got home.

After icing my legs and a quick shower I made a dinner that was so not lame!

Yummy chicken salad (recipe below),

buttermilk biscuits from this Cooking Light recipe, split with honey and Smart Balance Light,

and a side of sautéed okra.

It was my own healthy Southern feast!

I knew the okra and chicken would rock but I was seriously so impressed with how well the biscuits turned out; I’m a baker!  They were perfectly biscuit-y and healthy!

What is your favorite chicken salad recipe?  I like this one a lot but I’m also partial to curried chicken salad.
