12 miles in 1:52 & scrambled eggs beats cupcakes

Well, this 12 mile thing is getting almost routine. Another canal run, this time much cooler, got rained on a little to make sure I was totally soaked through. The fun today was trying out all the new gear I picked up at Road Runner Sports. New shoes, socks, sporty skivies, and a visor. Visor = no squinting + no headaches + keeps rain out of eyes--my dorky runner ensemble is almost complete.

Celebrated with a strawberry shortcake cupcake at Baked and Wired, and randomly the girl in the blue dress from the Jazz in the Park fashion montage was there working. She looked none too pleased to be recognized. Just left the change on the counter with the to go box when I got out of the lu. Can't say I blame her, even minor celebrity can be annoying, especially when you get recognized by sweaty runners--o joy! Food verdict: the cake part shrunk and the strawberries were smaller than last time, too much icing. That's not gonna get it done in the DC cupcake wars.

Not to worry, the girlfriend was awesome and cooked scrambled eggs and toasted Italian loaf and cantaloupe--now that's a runner's breakfast. Thanks babe. Feeling uneasy about what: school in session + weekday workouts = ?! stay tuned.
