And then my Speed workout on Monday. And that started off fine. Warm up fine. Strides fine. First 2 laps fine.
Then, Ugh. My left knee just started to give out every 5 or 7 steps or so. It didn't hurt, just didn't seem to want to hold me up. A few times I thought I might actually fall over! So I stopped running and walked back, head down, Charlie Brown style, to the store.
And I didn't run again until today. Thought maybe I needed some ice and some TLC. Apparently I need more than that. Still all Hop Along Pink Girl today.
Dang.
So I'm going to take the next week off. No running. None. Because my marathon training officially begins on the 31st and I must, must, must be well for that!
So a few weeks ago I was all super physched to try this new cupcake place. A cupcake place who proudly proclaimed on their website, "Dallas Store Now Open!" Yeah, when we got there it was not yet open. Now, when you are expecting a glorious buttercream creation...you cannot bear this disappointment. So I ended up at A&J and had a petit four. And it was delish. But not a cupcake.
Today could not pass more slowly, so on our break Jules and I headed to try Petit Four, a cake place that sells, you guessed it, petit fours. Got rave reviews online. My boss says it's a must. Who am I to not try a must? And there was even a parking spot out front. Meant to be.
Or not.
They are closed. Gone. Out of business.
For reals y'all!
So once again we headed to A&J. (where they made Tony Romo's birthday cake) And once again snatched a yummy petit four to cram in my cake hole. I just need to start heading there first. It was divine.
Oooo go to the Doctor if your knee doesn't get better! Gots to take care of it! :o)
ReplyDeleteNow I want a cupcake. Dang. :o(
ReplyDeleteGet that knee healed up soon!
Bummer about your knee. Smart thing to do and not run for a while. Of course, that's easier said than done and I probably should practice what I preach lol. Hope your knee is better soon.
ReplyDeletedude, I totally get cupcake heartbreak. that makes me sad. also, how lame of them to pull a "sike" on you with the "we're open! we're closed!" thing. at least you and Jules redeemed the day.

Just found your blog and I'm in love with it!! I missing running soooooo much. I used to run and did a couple of marathons, then managed to get a car accident in Jan '08. No more marathons for me. Love your writing style! I just started my own blog (like yesterday) so not much on there yet -- stop by and say hi!

I had to google "Petit Four". Either I'm dumb, or it's a southern thing!
