Black Bean Soup

I soaked some black beans overnight and put them in the slow cooker this morning along with some carrots, chicken broth, and garlic. I ended up with 5 large servings of about 290 calories each. It turned out pretty tasty, too. After I eat this soup, I'm going to make some Green Pea and Chickpea Soup.

Workout

January 5
4:07 p.m. CT

I walked a couple miles, did some strength training, and walked two more miles.
Distance: 4 miles, treadmill@3%
Duration: 32:39 (1st 2 miles), ~25 minutes strength, 32:14 (last 2 miles)
Pace ave: 16:19 (1st 2 miles),  16:07 (last 2 miles)
HR: ave 106, max 120 (1st 2 miles); ave 92, max 115 (strength); ave 114, max 124 (last 2 miles)

For the strength training, I did mainly biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, and abs. I only did a couple sets per body part to ease into it. Otherwise, I'd hurt way too much over the next couple days. I'll be sore enough as it is, I expect.
