This week has felt extraordinarily long. Work has been super busy, and with studying and commuting, the days are very full. Tonight we took a little field trip after work and stopped at Wegman’s on the way home. I get very excited when I can find some Buffalo specialties in MA.
I’m taking study time tomorrow, so I’ll be spending part of my usual commute time sleeping in…woo!
Now, onto the post I wrote this morning but didn’t publish because our internet was down….
I did better at running this morning than yesterday. It was still a painful struggle to get out of bed and my body is still convinced it would rather be sleeping than running (this will change eventually, right?), but I did it. And I covered 2 miles today, beating yesterday’s 1.5. These are the mileage totals you like to see before a 10 miler, right? Ha!
The weather this morning was perfect for running…at least there’s that. And, as usual, I cruised by the beach and it was wonderfully beautiful.

Not from today. I didn’t stop to take a picture because I thought I post too many of these. Oh, well, guess I changed my mind about that.
While running this past weekend, I made a discovery. There’s a new bakery opening really really close to my house. Yay! (We are actually moving in about a month, but the bakery will be open before we go, so hooray!). I probably won’t stop in on my way home from a long run, but I totally could.
Well actually, maybe I WILL stop in on my way home from a long run. I think I’d like to be the kind of person that runs ten miles and then buys a cupcake to eat while walking the last 10th of a mile to her front door.
Have you ever stopped for baked goods at the end of a run? Would you if you ran buy a bakery?
Okay….it’s time to sit in traffic! Have a wonderful Thursday! The weekend is so close I can taste it!
I would be tempted to stop at a bakery, but I don’t know that I’d be able to eat the cupcake right away. I’d probably bring it home with me and eat it after some water and a shower.
I normally don’t want to eat immediately after a long run, but there was this one time that I had baked mini cupcakes the night before a long run, and a scarfed down three of them upon walking in the door….sooo delicious. 🙂
So how did your 10 Mile race go???
I know, I know…I’m so behind on my race recap. I promise it will be up in less than a week. 🙂
