Run Run Rosie: Dopey Challenge Training - Week 14 Oral Surgery AGAIN!

This week we have an additional day of training and a 15 mile run at the end of the week. However, I am heading back for my second oral surgery to put in the rods where my implants will sit. My plan is to do the two 45 minute runs as usual, run the 5.5 miles on the morning of my surgery and then either Saturday or Sunday walk 10 miles rather than run 15 miles. Well, you know what they say……”best laid plans”

Oral surgery morning I headed out the door in hopes of completing at least 4 miles. However when I hit the 3 mile mark I received an email that a package was delivered. Without reading it, I assumed it was my amazon order which are delivered to an Amazon locker near my house. So I detoured to the locker and when I arrived and started looking on my phone for the locker code I soon discovered it was not my Amazon order that arrived, but another package that was delivered to my P.O. Box!!!!! Because of this mishap, I did complete the 5.5 mile walk that the training plan had scheduled for today. NICE!

1:00pm arrives and off I go to the Periodontist. I don’t know about anybody else, but I love it when I have to be “put to sleep” for a procedure. I was especially excited today because ever since we found out that a new GM is in our future, I have not been sleeping very well. I’ve been waking up in the middle of night for hours at a time.

After surgery I came home and slept and slept and slept. All the rest of the evening, all night long and well into the morning. I woke up refreshed and ready to take on the world. Actually, I went out for my 10 mile walk, which quickly turned into a 4 mile walk. Mainly because of the lack of food and anesthesia. I’m okay with that because I at least got out and did something.

Recipe this week is from the Disney Eats Cookbook – Roasted Broccoli pizza and Sausage kale pizza.

With soft mushy food in my near future during oral surgery recovery I wanted to enjoy one of my favorite foods…. PIZZA. I love pizza so much, we bought a pizza cooker several years ago and love how well it cooks the dough. If you’ve watch any of my cooking segment on my YouTube channel, you know I use a lot of dairy and meat substitutions. Because of this the cheeses do not melt as well as their dairy counterparts. I must say though, the non-dairy ricotta was some of the best substitutions I’ve tasted yet.

I can’t tell you how delicious the roasted broccoli was and it’s just olive oil and salt. We actually cooked up the remaining broccoli and enjoyed it for several days after.
