I did not drink last night so I could run early and feel good.  The hot weather and humidity can make something simple seem grueling.  
Tomorrow is a "cross" day on schedule so I can just swim or walk or something.  Easy to do after a night of martinis, so I can do that tonight.

What is for dinner....wish I had a pork butt smoking.  (@porchsitter what piece of pork are you doing?)

I got up earlier than usual to run as well. That’s great you did five miles. That was my goal as well. But the heat got to me at 4.5 miles and I stopped. Plus I got to the point where the sweat was really burning my eyes. If the gym was open it would have been a treadmill day. Your breakfast burrito looks delicious. Nice reward for a good run. 



I'm glad that the back end of this training schedule will be in the fall/winter when it is cold out.  Can't be running 15-20 miles in this heat...the reward for that is collapsing. 

Are you training for a marathon? 15-20 miles. I can’t even imagine. 

Yep.  

Impressive. That is awesome. Have you run a marathon before, or is this your first time?

I'm looking forward to seeing that photo! We live so far in the country we have to go to the lake to get a signal good enough for anything other than HTML text to load lol
Perfectly smoked pulled pork and ribs is probably my absolute favorite food to eat.

I decided I'm going to finish the pork jowl in an asian-style barbeque sauce and put it over rice with some steamed garden snap peas for dinner.  Wifey didn't really care for the texture on it's own or with a sandwich and thinks she might like that better.  Korean or southern barbeque, either way is good by me, and I could put either on a sandwich or rice. 
I might fry up some chicken thighs in tempura in case she still isn't into the melty fat/chewy meat texture of the burnt ends.

I learned something new today: I've never actually eaten Wasabi.

Apparently most Japanese restaurants (even in Japan), don't serve the real thing. They use horseradish mixed with mustard and food coloring. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/fake-wasabi-horseradish_n_561bd666e4b0082030a33959

Long story short. My fish guy bought three Blue Fin Tuna down in Cork off a Spanish boat. He also advertised that for the first time ever, he had real Wasbabi. So I lined up early this morning for a nice cut of Chutoro and Japanese wasabi. This little piece I'm holding cost me 17 bucks! Hopefully it's worth it.

I have heard that about wasabi. While I like the green stuff they serve with sushi, please let us know how this compares. Do you just fine grate it and serve it straight up, or are you making a sauce out of it?

That chicken & waffle looks good but I'm going right for the prosciutto melon job

It is worth the cost!  Use a fine grater. In Japan they use sharkskin to grate it. The bright green stuff is fine, but the real deal is so much better. I actually had wasabi ice cream in Japan. So good!

^ amazing! And that cantaloupe/prosciutto combo looked incredible. Never tried it but I’m intrigued. 

Feast!

Man that’s the  bees knees.... enjoy that!
