I've got a bit of a double blog post coming for you today, both have been requested by numerous people which I love. First I will share with you my pitta bread pizza recipe and then a little gym workout afterwards. On Friday, at home we had our usual food delivery but I had a few creative ideas to try, to make something a bit different. After seeing some people making some good looking pizza, I was instantly inspired. However I am not a fan of the big thick dough often at the base of pizza's, it just feels a bit stodgy, so I went for an alternative... wholemeal pitta bread! How to make: 1. Cut a whole meal pitta bread in half, and depending on how hungry you are, you could use 1 or 2 pittas. 2. Spread tomato puree all over the top of the pitta 3. Cut up the cheese of your choice... mine mozzarella. Place a few bits over the pitta. 4. Now add any more toppings of your choice, evenly and over the whole pizza. On my two I had tomatoes, basil, parma ham and peppers as my topping. but the choices are yours... be inventive! 5. Place in the oven at 180° and it only takes about 5 to 10 mins to cook them, just keep an eye on them. When you can see that the cheese has melted nicely then you know its time to eat! 6. Enjoy... I must admit they do look pretty good in the photos and they tasted amazing too. It is making me hungry just looking at them and I will definitely be having these again next week... perhaps I'll be more inventive with my toppings too. Now on to my gym session. Strength work is very important for any type of runner, whether it is 100m or 5000m but you need strength to different extents. In addition gym work is very important for almost every sport like swimming and cycling too. I'm not going to write out one of my exact workouts as I'll do them specific to me. However I will write out for you, which is a good basic one to get you started, which works on your arms, legs and core. Full body workout: 10 x press ups 15 x jumping squats 10 x burpees 10 x sit ups 12 x lunges 1 min plank Take a 1 min rest and repeat the set Post workout, it is always essential to refuel after a hard gym session. My favourite go to is the berry smoothie often with a bit of protein powder chucked in there to help my muscles recover after being pushed. I hope you have enjoyed my pitta bread pizza recipe and also if you do give them a go, please tag me in it on instagram @race.with.grace so I can see some of your creations and toppings you decide on.
This week for me isn't very busy with stuff outside of training and work. However I do have a lot of school work to do unfortunately, but I am plowing through it at a slow but steady pace. With just a month left of my holidays now I want to complete all my work soon to give me a couple of weeks to just relax. I hope you all have a good week! Love G x

Those pizzas are mouth-watering! I like the fact that you used pitta bread. I, too, don't really like thick doughs. This would be a great alternative for dough. I'll definitely try this. But my toppings would be different. I would try fruits as toppings. It would be a healthy snack.

Who you work with in a reverse mortgage affects greatly how they will work for you and with you. When you apply for a reverse mortgage make certain that you select a lender who is kind, considerate and dedicated to answering all of your questions in a way that is thorough and knowledgeable.
