No running activity took place on Sunday. I woke from a near 12 hour slumber & decided that my glute was still painful & that a fartlek run would be suicidal as a result.
Instead of running, Yoga became the activity of the day for the third successive Sunday. Having missed my sessions in the week it was a case of catch up. Mrs H joined me in the lounge as we embarked on 30 minutes of stretching & cat avoidance. I think it is starting to benefit me, everything is clicking as I move & flex now, which should be a good thing. I still struggle with lunges & some of the more dynamic positions, but I'm not far into the programme.
The Eat
Do you ever walk past a shop window, see something & straight away decide that you must have it? That was the case with me on Saturday morning as we passed the butchers. A huge rib of beef was sat, waiting for someone to buy it. I enquired & took half of it home with me.
Before it went in the oven I oiled it up, seasoned & applied a baste of Dijon mustard & Worcester sauce. Whilst cooking we quickly found out that the smoke alarm works fine!
After taking it out to stand, you could see just how good the meat was. it came off the bone nicely despite being cooked rare. The variety of meat throughout was great, the taste as close to steaks I'd sampled at Hawksmoor as I could imagine at home.
The finished article, complete with smoky haze. Roasted potatoes & carrots, peas & some spinach pan fried in garlic. Awesome. Best £20 spent in a while! Even managed to dig up some Horseradish in the garden yesterday so could create our own sauce, that remains a work in progress.
It was a long weekend & this was a fitting reward.
