Eating cheesecake is kind of like running...

Ways eating cheesecake is like running:
1) Sugar gives you a high, running gives you a high.
2) Ok, that's all I got (I actually did sit here for a while and try to think of some others, but to no avail...)

I wish that was a longer list, because apparently Sara and I were much more agreeable to shopping and eating cheesecake than doing our measly 3 miles last night. In fact, there really hasn't been a whole lot of running taking place this week. Let me back up:

Sunday night, Sara came back from Temple and we had a great run (can't remember if it was 4 or 5 miles). Monday, of course, was The Bachelor and Blizzards. (By the way, we were a little concerned about what we would do with our Mondays in two weeks when The Bachelor is over, but luckily we saw a commercial during the show and decided that after March 2, Mondays would officially be dubbed Dancing With The Stars-Dairy Queen Mondays). I can't believe that Jason got rid of Jillian...RIDICULOUS!! And, not to get too far off on a Bachelor tangent, but if you want a MAJOR SPOILER for the finale, you should go to realitysteve.com. WARNING: DO NOT go there if you don't want to know EXACTLY what happens. And don't blame me if you ruin the surprise for yourself.

Ok, back to our week. Tuesday I woke up feeling super sick and ended up not going to work. Instead, I threw up and watched the entire 3rd season of The Office. Not a bad day, once the throwing up stopped, but I definitely wasn't feeling like running that evening. Sara killed her 5 miles though, even though Subway and Sonic were taunting her across the street. Wednesday we decided we needed a good cry and a counseling session over our Starbucks drinks instead of a good run, but we were confident we could knock out the 3 miles on Thursday.

Our original plan Thursday was to run right after work, then go shopping for a dress for my former roommate's wedding in a few weeks. But when we talked after work, we decided it would be dumb to run first, because then we would have to shower, and that wouldn't leave much time for shopping (And so began the excuses...). So we would run when we got done. What we did not expect was that we would arrive back at Randy and Sharon's just as they were serving dessert, which just so happened to be an amazing cheesecake with a berry glaze (made from a recipe they got from their last cruise). So before you make fun of us, just think about what you would do in that situation. CLEARLY, we chose the cheesecake. We probably still could have ran, but we stayed and chatted over our dessert, and then it was like 10 something, so I just went home.

So, needless to say, the week has not been great as far as running goes...actually it hasn't been great period (minus the cheesecake). Sometimes you just need a week like that. But we will get it back together for our long run this weekend (8 miles). Even though we are running separately, I think it will be a good run. Wish us luck!!
