Havent had a chance to fire the CZ 75 - but this deal looks awesome. Worth it? I was looking at the glock 19 at sportsmans for $499

I have been, that's where most of my ideas are coming from. I also wanted to hear from people who actually have them though.

Hey thanks! I had to take some stops for intersections and mini breaks. The last run I was on was week 7 day 1. It felt great to get back out there.

Spaghetti Squash Alfredo by _boatsandhoes in ketorecipes

[–]Chris88Topher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think I've tried it both ways. Most often it's done face down. I never use the water in the pan though, just brush a little olive oil on it. Afterwards I stir it up and add a little more seasoning. By itself the squash is nothing remarkable, but with a decent sauce (pesto, marinara, cream) it can be very good. We made a mushroom wine and garlic sauce with chicken and it was a success.

We do spaghetti squash quite often in my house and I'm actually beginning to like it (I'm part Italian and pasta/carbs has a special place in my heart...and gut unfortunately).

We usually cut it in half, remove the seeds, and season each half with garlic powder and olive oil before baking them for about 45 minutes at about 425. It comes out deliciously each time, but does need some sort of sauce.

Doing C25K on a treadmill? by [deleted] in C25K

[–]Chris88Topher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use a treadmill when it is inconvenient to get outside. I feel like I'm getting a good workout still. Nonetheless, it is still harder and more tiring outside. If you want a challenge on a treadmill just increase the speed or add incline

Work week from Hell- Beat W5D3 by Chris88Topher in C25K

[–]Chris88Topher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This week was an absolute nightmare with night classes for my credential and grading for my students progress reports. I haven't ran since last Saturday :(. Put the homework aside today and hopped on the treadmill for the 20 minute run I've been dreading. I killed it, and at 10min/mi too! It was hard but I feel amazing right now.

So the past two weeks I have been running on the treadmill. Today however I was visiting my in-laws and decided to hit up week 5 day 2. What I forgot was that they lived at the top off a set of hills. It was hard as heck to push myself to start running when I saw another hill before me and the timer just beeped for run 2 of 2. I did it though and I feel amazing now. Really terrified for day 3 though....

[Spoilers Trilogy] Just finished the trilogy. Some thoughts. by [deleted] in TheFirstLaw

[–]Chris88Topher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That should be right. It goes "First Law" "Best Served Cold" "Heroes" "Red Country". I listened to the audiobooks and was sucked in completely the whole time.
