Day 109, 256 To Go

April 19, 2013

Today, Honey and I got back to something we haven't done in about two years.  We made a cake.  Not your run of the mill round cake with some frosting.  No, we make Cake Boss type cakes.  If you don't believe me, check out our website here and see the Cakes Gallery for some pictures: http://www.cupncakesgourmet.com/
Last night I baked the cake and made the buttercream for the cake and cupcakes.  Today, Honey and I put the cake together and did most of the details.  We will have to finish the rest in the morning.  We baked the cupcakes today too...well, they were just cake box since we were didn't really have enough time to make those from scratch like the cake.  Besides, most people actually like the cake box cupcakes for some reason.  Personally, I prefer homemade cupcakes.  They are just better and the best part is I actually know what is in them.  Try reading the ingredients for store bought cupcakes!!
Anyway, the cake came out pretty good.  You'll have to check out my blog tomorrow for pictures.  Yup, I am going to tease you and make you wait...

Today, I ran pretty hard since I was feeling good.  I didn't go all out since I am still feeling stiff and my calves and ankles are not cooperating with me...same with my knees.  What the hell!  I need a full body massage.  That's what I need.  And an ice bath.  And pain medications.  Strong ones!!

Here are my numbers:

Time: 20:00
Distance: 2.47 miles
Pace: 8:05/m
Max Pace: 6:56/m
Calories: 323
Avg HR: 146
Max HR: 160

Not a bad pace.  Granted, a few years ago I could run this pace in my aerobic zone for 6 miles easy.  Getting older sucks sometimes!!

Run for Life!!
