Tourtiere – Low-FODMAP and Gluten free

By stephanie 7 Jan, 2018

You might be thinking “How could a savoury meat pie be healthy?” Well, I’m here to tell you that you can mitigate the damage rather nicely, and not sacrifice flavour. My mother, who was raised French-Canadian really enjoyed it and felt it was authentic, but it’s also YUMMY, low-FODMAP, and gluten free! Technically, wheat is on the

I like to talk about my workouts, and my political advocacy work.

The past few days of #Spring in #VernonBC have bee The past few days of #Spring in #VernonBC have been random bits of sun, cloud, and rain.

The first photo is from my #TrailRun from #KalamalkaPark along the access #trail that runs parallel to the road back to the Cosen's Bay parking lot. My friend and I did the "Enduro" loop in the correct direction, but I think I like it in the backwards direction better! The hills seem shorter in the backwards direction. 
I love all the daffodils!! 

The next few photos were from #running with my friend this morning, we did 3 loops of the #GreyCanalTrail in the BX. We went twice in the regular direction, and finished in the backwards direction to have a nice descent at the end. It was sunny where we were, but looking over toward Vernon showed clouds ahead! 

The last photo is a selfie from my #GymWorkout yesterday. I'm happy with my #deadlift progress, trying to get back up to what I was lifting prior to my little tumble cross country skiing a month ago. 

Hoping for no rain tomorrow so that I can go on a bike ride. 

Still need to get a membership to the Vernon Paddling club, so that I can fit in going #StandUpPaddleboarding once a week!

#VernonBC looks like an emerald in the Spring! Eve #VernonBC looks like an emerald in the Spring! Everywhere I look is green! 

Stepped outside for a brief #HillTraining session.
Walk/run to the hill (600m)
3x hill repeats of walking, running, sprinting (the hill was 100m)
Run back to the start

I don't really enjoy hill training/speed work, but I really need to get faster, to raise my lactate threshold, and decrease my exercising heart rate when cross country ski season returns. 
Today's #training felt pretty great, though!

Though of course, some random dude tried to give me unsolicited hill training advice, and midway through his mansplaining, I told them "hey, I teach #exercise for a living, I know what I'm doing". That sent him on his merry way.

What a wonderful weekend! Saturday was a "chill What a wonderful weekend! 

Saturday was a "chill day" of #training for me. Did a 17 km #bike ride along the #KalamalkaLake #RailTrail . It was chill because I was riding at a heart rate less than Zone 1, just keeping my body moving and enjoying the scenery from Coldstream to Kekuli Bay and back. 

Sunday was trail #race day! I did the @dirtyfeetraces 8K at #KalamalkaPark and it was SO awesome! 
I hadn't slept much the night before, though I slept well for the time that I was asleep.
The weather and trail conditions were perfect! 
The trail markings were clear, the start/finish line was fun and upbeat, my body and mood were 100% on point, no gut problems, and my #BloodSugars maintained with little Gatorade, and no highs or lows. 

I stuck with my plan, which was to walk all the ups, and run all the flats and downs. It felt amazing! I never felt too tired or impatient. Best of all, there was no commentary in my head. I thought about random things, like how I need to upgrade my sunglasses, but nothing relating to my body or my ability. Other than that, I want to be #fit enough to #run the whole thing next year. I don't need to build stamina, I need to build speed, so that I can cross country ski in a Zone 1 rather than a Zone 4 #HeartRate. I finished 4.5 minutes faster than my anticipated time, and despite working hard during the race, it didn't feel like I was over-reaching. 

I took a little tumble on a flat dirt #trail. I didn't trip over anything, just my own feet. I landed straight ahead of me on my stomach with my arms stretched out in front of me. I was only mildly hurt, and kept on #running.

My favourite part about this race was that I had run most of the #trails before. It's so psychologically reassuring when you know how far away the finish line is, how long the hills are, etc. The next Dirty Feet trail race is in Kelowna in a month, and I need to get there beforehand to run some of the route, so that I can keep having these amazing race experiences!
