If it's an early morning (pre-dawn, so need to run a lighted path) run, I pee, change into running clothes, grab two bottles of water and head out the door. Then put on my stopwatch and iPod and go.

Uhhh, none. It was 112 here on Saturday. Morning (5:30am) lows have been in the mid-70s. I'm doing nothing outside right now, lol

Let me add that it is not a good idea to run a half marathon in the morning, then board a plane at noon for a 4+hour flight ... ;)

Chicken enchiladas. I boiled a chicken earlier with green chiles and salsa. Shredded it. Added minced onion and roasted green chiles. Rolled in corn tortillas, covered in green enchilada sauce. Topped with a bit o' cheese. And sauteed matchstick zucchini. Yum.

Chopped roast beef, diced green peppers and onions, sauteed and served in a tortilla with a BIT of cheese. And watermelon.
