Remember that Office episode!?
I biked on over to the gym today and did a happy 10 minutes on the Stairmaster when the fire alarm went off!!
I saw a big fire truck, but I never saw any smoke. The alarm my have been set off by the fi-yah I was makin’ on the Stairmaster
!!
[Did you know if you Google Images search for "Stepmill flames" that two of my posts come up!?!?!?!]
I sadly had to get off the machine and take my workout out to the parking lot. I could have just stood there with the others, but I saw this as an opportunity for sprints!
I moseyed on over to the track and ran about a mile alternating sprinting, walking and jogging (in that order). Then I moved to the fields and did squats, lunges, pushups, and burpies. "Whatcha Say" is the perfect tempo for jumping lunges. Just sayin’!
Once back home I heated up some Cocoa Coconut Chili from the freezer.
Served with a little REAL coconut 🙂 I used my FIREY cali bowl for eating! The bowl was perfect for heating soup. I hate it when the soup gets all on the edges from stirring – it’s bad for the photography and looks messy! But the nice lip on the bowl hides the mess well 🙂

I could barely finish this lunch – so filling!
RDU Readers
I’m coming to Hillsborough on Friday and am wondering if any of you want to meet for brunch around 10AM on Saturday? Please email me if you are interested (KathEats at Gmail).
Off to class! Gotta go put air in my tires first 👿

Not cool that you were in a fire, but oh my, you just made my morning. I always go up to my hubs and sing, “RYAN started the FIUHERRR!!!” right in his ear. He loves it.
Kat (Kat's Daily Plate) says
I love chili on a cold day. Aren’t freezers just the best? They make everything so much easier!
Jen (Running With Cake) says
Running plus squats, lunges, and push-ups? All I have to say to that is ouch! The coconut chili sounds so warm and soothing right now.
Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food) says

what a great lunch for a cold day. I love chili, but haven’t made any this year yet.
Paige(Running Around Normal) says
I love that chil. One of my faves. That’s too funny the fire alarm went off! Great way to make use of the situation!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I love to google things and find my own stuff. Makes me smile.
Good for you to use the time to still get in a workout. I like to take advantage of what I have even if its not the plan…although it does freak me out.
rhodeygirl says
I don’t know that episode.. I think I need to catch up on the Office!
Kath says
It’s from Season 2. I watched it on Netflix!
sue says
i wonder how many people search google images for stepmill flames 😀 haha….too funny!
Brittney says
“The alarm my have been set off by the fi-yah I was makin’ on the Stairmaster”
That made me laugh 🙂
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
I love filling lunches! I just ate a hugh-jass salad full of roasted root veggies. yum.
coco says
it’s so funny that two of your posts come out! 😀
but you did a great job on completing the workout by your own! I would feel pissed off and go back home without a workout!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Ha…I love that episode. Ryan is one of my favorite characters on that show. His outfits have been cracking me up on the new season.
Have a great class!
Kristie Lynn says
Reminds of the Fire-Burning song 🙂
Robin says
I made that chili a few months ago and liked it better as leftovers. Yummy, I wish I had some in my freezer for tonight.
Marisa (Trim The Fat) says
I love those bowls!
Hallie (Healthy Twists) says
We had leftvover chili for dinner last night (with homemade jalapeno cornbread..YUM). And we have turkey soup and vegetable soup in the fridge. It’s going to be a week of soups in my house! Chili is so filling and comforting, I just love it.
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans says
chili is the best on a cold fall day! The Ryan started the fire episode is one of my favorites!
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) says
Haha i love the stairmaster graphic!
Jessica @ How SWeet It Is says
That episode is hilarious.
Alison says
I would love to meet up with you on Saturday, but I’ll be running in the Jingle Bell Run downtown that same morning. Hope you have a nice trip!
Erin says
Whenever I hear the REAL version of that song, I can’t help but sing along, “Ryan started the fire…”
😀
Morgan says
Kath,
How do you freeze your soups?
Mine always get ice crystals on them.. i need a solution!
Thanks,
Morgan
Kath says
We put them in freezer-safe ziplocks and lay them flat on a cookie sheet and once they’re frozen they stack nicely.
megan says
I think its funny that you did the stairmaster after watching the ugly truth and that he says that women need to get skinny and do this. you must have got this idea from the movie
Kath says
I think it’s funny that you actually think I’d follow a movie’s advice on how to “get skinny.” I’ve been climbing the Stairmaster for years. Best machine in the gym.
Naomi(onefitfoodie) says
chili and coconut sounds so interesting!! great idea with the outdoor workouts! I think I would have done the SAME thing!
K says
Haha! I love The Office shout out!
amanda says
Yummy looking chili. Never had it before with coconut
Lauren @ Eater not a runner says
Haha I love it, esp the graphic of “stepmill flames” 🙂
Krissy (Single Serving) says
Great job on improvising the workout! That chili looks yummy!
Meggilizz says
Chocolate+coconut+chili=NOMTASTIC!!!!!!! 😀
I’m gmailing you about Saturday
Kath says
Love that “gmailing” is now a verb!!
Karla says
I hate when workouts are interrupted.
Today I got on a treadmill that was signed up for for an hour because no one was on it, then it turns out a girl signed up for the wrong treadmill so when she got kicked off the one she was she came over to the correct one and kicked me off! Has she been signed up for the correct treadmill, all would have been well!
Brie (The Fit Bride) says
Those bowls are adorable!
Jil says
Love that idea with the bowls! And that chili looks so comforting!
AnnQ says
Good for you on making the most out of having to leave the gym! Love it! 🙂
