8 Mile Training Run

Despite all of the High Wind Warnings that were in effect for a large part of the I-25 corridor from Denver to Colorado Springs today I was still able to get in a 8 Mile Training Run on the Santa Fe Trail here in Monument, Colorado.  For the most part high winds were not an issue for me on the Santa Fe Trail between 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM.  There were sustained crosswinds between 35-40 MPH but I only experienced a few strong gusts as I made my way to and from Palmer Lake, Colorado.  I have experienced windier conditions on the Santa Fe Trail before so today was just another day of running in the wind.  I did have a very nice tail wind that blew me all the way back to Monument from Palmer Lake which may have just help me set a new personal record for my fastest mile ever run!

Fat-Free Chewy Chocolate Cookies

My goal this Holiday Season is to get past the first of the year without gaining a single once of weight...So far so good!  To help my weight cause I came across this Fat-Free Chewy Chocolate Cookie Recipe on the www.food.com website.  They are so simple to make even I made a batch that turned out pretty darn good (See Attached Photo).

Here are the ingredients to make 30 Cookies:

1 1⁄2 cups flour
1⁄2 cup sugar
1⁄2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 cup Karo syrup (light or dark)
3 egg whites (or 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp egg beaters)

They take minutes to make and here is the best part...Only 55 Calories and 0.3 Grams of Fat Per Cookie!  Here in Colorado if you leave these cookies uncovered they become rock hard and crunchy but if you cover them up they remain soft and chewy.  Either way they taste good for being low fat and low cal.
