So this last couple of weeks have been a busy with a lot of fun and hectic things. So on June 5, 2010 I ran my 4th half marathon in South Bend Indiana, fighting Irish territory. It was a beautiful place and really friendly. I wouldn't mind living there. The fun things about Indiana are they have a cafe just for CHOCOLATE come on how many of those are there, they have very, VERY, VERY humid weather and in the Notre Dame Stadium they have a picture of Christ doing the touch down sign (that is a little odd). The run was good but very muggy they let us run by the river but again adding to the humidity. I was so wet and sweaty we had to put a drop cloth down in the van so I wouldn't soak the seats. Even though it was so hot it is the fastest I have ever run a half marathon it took me 2:04 which breaks down to a 9:30 pace which is my personal best. I saw a guy who was running his 100th marathon which I thought was cool we tried to calculate how old I would be but I was to tired thinking about all of that mileage right after the race so we stopped. Wade and I went because the gal that I was training with was injured. I highly recommend a weekend get away to anyone, it was a lot of fun.Other exciting things I have been up to is making cakes so have been successful other not so much. I made cupcakes for a friends Girl Scout Troop and the theme was Hawaiian so I made edible shells. They turned out great.
Next I thought I would make some cupcakes for a friend for her birthday. It was suppose to look like ants taking food from a picnic I will let you decide. They called for chocolate covered raisins to make the body. I think they look like cupcakes with three raisins down the middle. Felicity thought they were just fine she crawled up on the table to get one while I wasn't looking. The last cake is a cake for a friend who is becoming an American
citizen this one turned out great.My kids are great and they keep me on my toes. We went strawberry picking and they each had a pails to put their strawberries in. It turned out I would fill their pails while they ate them it was hard to try and fill it before all of the berries were gone. They both came home with strawberry juice down there front and big smiles on their faces.
