Salmon Hot Dogs

I took a lot of ribbing today when I told people about the Salmon Hot Dogs that I purchased at Whole Foods the other night. The runners: Christy, Machelle, and Robert all think I am crazy. The co-workers: Diane, Cody, Jenny, and Jen -- not a single one of them is supportive. Thank goodness for Amber. At least she wasn't against the idea of salmon hot dogs.

So for lunch I put a hot dog on a plate, placed a damp paper towel on the hot dog, and cooked the hot dog for 45 seconds. It was good. It tasted kind of fishy. I think I cooked it about 10 seconds too long. A little soft for a hot dog. I think I will try it tomorrow evening on a bun with onions, garlic, mustard, and sweet pickle relish.

I did two runs today. Run #1 was with Christy, Machelle, and Robert. Early in the morning we did 12 miles at 7:40 pace. It was a perfect morning for a run. Absolutely perfect. Run #2 was with Benjamin. He wanted me to push him around the lake. We did the east lake plus a little bit. 5.11 miles at a 8:30 pace. Pushing a 52 pound kid is tough work up the hills. It was a nice night for a run.

So, what do you think? Salmon hot dogs: friend or foe?
