Posted on February 14, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthy, Making it happenShare Today’s lunch: black and white bean chili (vegan, from the P90X nutrition guide) with a side winter salad.

Among other things, it contained a one-month training plan for racing a 10k on trails. Lo and behold, the structure is very similar to how I structure my training weeks.
