It's taper time!

I am getting really nervous as the marathon gets closer. I have been so sore and tired from all of the training. On Saturday I had to walk about a mile of my 18 miler. I have been constantly sore these past few weeks. The farthest I will run this week will be about 8 miles and then next week I will run way less. My body needs the break. Anyone have any last minute tips? I want to run fast, and get it over with!

Ginger Snap Cookie Recipe

I love having healthy snacks around. I usually make a batch of healthy something and then eat them as my snack for the week (or day depending on how long they last)

Here are my yummy gingerbread cookies.

1/3 C. Coconut Oil
2/3 C. Molasses
1 egg (I usually substitute 1 TBSP ground flax seed and 2 TBSP water)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
3 cups grain mix flour* (*flour mixed from red quinoa, amoranth, buckwheat, barley, millet, oats, rice, rye, plus wheat, I use equal parts of each and then add more wheat, you can use whatever mixture you want I think it turns out better with more wheat though )

Mix ingredients in the order above. Roll out the dough and cut with cookie cutters. Bake 325deg for 5-8 minutes! Yum! I like these crunchy!
