Tonight's entree for supper:  Wild Sockeye Salmon

THIS IS ONE FILLET THAT THE BEAR DIDN'T GET !

Nutrition

Wild sockeye salmon is a rich protein source, with nearly 16 g of protein in each 3-oz. serving. Each portion also contains close to 35 g of sodium, 318.9 g of potassium and 6 mg of calcium. Canning salmon with the bones increases the calcium content to 188 mg per serving.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Wild sockeye salmon is high in a type of omega-3 fatty acid called DHA that is important to health. DHA helps protect against heart disease, lowers cholesterol levels and may help slow Alzheimer's, according to Colorado State University Extension. Sockeye salmon contains 1,046 mg of DHA per serving, more than twice the recommended daily intake.

After finishing 13 more miles towards the Mercedes Marathon, Tdub is down to 425 miles to go.  Tdub also recommends the Sprinter Stick after long runs.             

                         

The Sprinter Stick by Intracell - Muscle Therapy for Track Running is a muscle massage tool that is designed to simultaneously compress and stretch muscles. The primary benefit of the sprinter stick to runners is that it's use eliminates "trigger points". Trigger points are contracted bundles of muscle, which feel like bumpy tender knots. Muscles containing trigger points feel tight, fatigue quickly and often hurt. The sprinter stick extinguishes these trigger points by rolling the sprinter stick back and forth over the entire length of the muscle. This relaxes the muscle bundle, improves circulation, increases range of motion and relieves pain. The Sprinter Stick makes a great gift for people who do track running. Features: 19" length 10 ounces Designed for the well-developed legs or people who do track running Most rigid of the short models Increases flexibility Extends endurance Accelerates recovery time Reduces muscle soreness, stiffness & pain Prepares muscle for rigors of activity.
