Top o’ the cupcake to ya!

On Thursday, Dave asked for a batch of Funfetti cupcakes. He promised me he’d take them to work the next day so that we wouldn’t be stuck with a batch of stale cupcakes.

Well, Dave got sick which kept him from work the next day.

And then his face swelled up which sent him to the doctor yesterday.

…who sent Dave home with a new “constant companion”:

An EpiPen.

And I am left with a sneaking suspicion that the cupcakes are the culprit.

Which means I’m also left with a batch of stale cupcakes that I didn’t want in the first place.

But I’ve found a way to make the best of a tough situation…

Don’t judge me.

First of all, I apologize for bombarding you all with ANOTHER picture of oatmeal. I understand that there are only so many pictures of oatmeal a person can handle and there are far better oatmeal crafters and photographers than me.

But this was like waking up and eating dessert first thing in the morning.

 
Oats + almond milk + chia seeds + coconut butter + TJ’s mini PB cups

And to make my morning even more sweet, I caught my boys wrestling. They paused for a photo op:

And finally, I’d like to make it law that Sunday afternoons should be spent wearing sweatpants and taking naps.

I got 10 hours of sleep last night and I cannot wait to fall asleep to some football games.

But before naps…

So did you think I’d follow through with my exercise plan for the week?

Given my track record, I wouldn’t be surprised if you thought that I was full of it.

And I sort of was.

But only by one mile. And in my defense, I honestly thought that I was supposed to run 3 miles on Tuesday. I didn’t realize until Thursday morning, when I was mentally adding up my mileage that I kept getting 21 instead of 22 miles. And I was kicking myself for saying that my total mileage was 22, and how many people read that post and thought, “wow, this girl has about a 2nd graders grasp of numerical functions.”

And then I looked back and realized that I was, in fact, supposed to run 4 miles on Tuesday instead of 3.

And in my personal opinion, I’d rather be one mile lazier than unable to perform basic addition.

It’s a pride thing I’m working on.

So let’s see how I did:

Sunday: 30 Day Shred, Level 2
Monday: 6 miles, avg. pace: 9:15
Tuesday: 3 miles (NOT 4, oops), avg. pace: 9:30; Yoga for Runners
Wednesday: 30 Day Shred, Level 2
Thursday: 4 miles (no Garmin), and JM’s 6 Week 6 Pack, Level 1
Friday: Rest
Saturday: 8 miles, avg. pace: 9:08

Total Mileage: 21 miles.

I find it funny that my longest run was my fastest and my shortest was the slowest. Abnormal…just like me!

Now this week (so I have it written down so I don’t pull another Tuesday. ):

Sunday: cross train
Monday: 6 miles
Tuesday: 4 miles, cross train
Wednesday: 5 miles
Thursday: cross train
Friday: Rest
Saturday: 10 miles

Total Mileage: 25 miles

In your opinion, what’s the best way to spend a Sunday?

For me, it’s definitely in sweatpants and taking naps after church. And I think I’ll read a good book later.

Oh, and do some cross training
