Lindsey Fitness News - 5th October 2023 -

Published: Thu, 10/05/23

Hola!, just a quick newsletter from me in Spain this week. We spent a phenomenal day last Sunday in Barcelona supporting Gary's Son Stephen in his first full Ironman. I don't think I or anyone else could fully appreciate the mental and physical toll on Stephen and the hundreds of other participants taking part until witnessing the extremes of the 3 gruelling disciplines that make up this awesome event.

A 2.4 mile swim starting at 8.30am took 1 hour 24 mins followed by a transition to a 112 cycle ride taking 6 hours and 3 minutes and a final transition to a 26.2 mile marathon run taking 4 hours 45 minutes. It was sheer determination of mindset following months of relentless training to be his best at all three that took him over the finish line in 12 hours 32 minutes and 12 secs. Failure was simply not an option. I just felt such immense pride for Stephen along with the utmost respect for him and all the other competitors I watched that day.

Never a truer example of mind over matter to complete what he set out to do and a life lesson to us all.

I have posted a lovely Spanish Chicken Recipe later in this Newsletter ......I'll be Live from Spain with some 'SHORTS' mini workours next Saturday 7th October and Monday 9th October. Then back full throttle with classes from next Saturday 14th October ...... ADIOS for now xxx

SPANISH CHICKEN

One typical Spanish chicken recipe is Pollo al Ajillo, which translates to Garlic Chicken. Here is a simple version of the recipe:

Ingredients:

4 chicken thighs or drumsticks
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the chicken pieces with the garlic mixture, making sure to coat them well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the white wine to the pan
Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken from the pan and transfer to a serving dish. Pour the remaining sauce from the pan over the chicken.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with rice or salad, .

Note: You can also add some sliced bell peppers or onions to the pan along with the chicken for extra flavor and texture.....ENJOY!
