Falling Off the Wagon

by Carilyn on December 7, 2012

Forgive me runners, for I have sinned.

I cheated on my taper.

I had to. Really. I was starting to seriously consider cleaning my closet and bedazzling my Nathan Hydration Vest, and we know that ain’t right.

So I ran 8 miles. And then I made this.

Out of this.

And I felt better. For awhile.

Then visions of a clean toaster oven and painted handheld water bottles started to dance in my head.

So I ran another 8 miles, this time hill repeats.

And then made these.

And ate approximately 31 of them.

And I felt better.

But if you see me wearing pink glittered Mizunos, just know that I am tapering.

Happy Running!

Carilyn December 7, 2012 at 9:41 am: I did! I’m so bad at tapering 🙁 And the cookies helped for the first few 🙂
Kent December 7, 2012 at 10:11 am: I do hope that you didn’t eat all 31 in one sittin? Really now Carilyn.
Debbie December 7, 2012 at 10:19 am: You make me feel like a slug! I have not run for a week and still keep eating like I am running.
Carilyn December 7, 2012 at 10:26 am: That’s why I had to run – I felt like such a slug. Plus I was getting crazy – or crazier 🙂
Carilyn December 7, 2012 at 10:27 am: No, Kent, it just felt like 31 🙂 Ugh.
Marcia December 7, 2012 at 11:10 am: Hmmmm bedazzled hydration vest….I think you’re on to something. I hope to see you on Shark Tank soon!
Oh gosh we are kindred spirits aren’t we? Except I don’t have the taper excuse. I’m garden variety nuts.
Char December 7, 2012 at 6:22 pm: Weak! That’s all I have to say.
(Damn those cookies look good)
pensive pumpkin December 7, 2012 at 6:40 pm: screw you for making me want a bedazzled hydration vest.
Carilyn December 10, 2012 at 1:37 pm: He he! Thank you, Char! 🙂
Carilyn December 13, 2012 at 11:17 am: If you make one, send pictures! 🙂
