Today's post is a random post. I don't know about you folks, but I'm over counting the days. Realistically, I broke the challenge [insert boo's here], BUT I am still dieting and exercising and I am training away for my marathon. Besides, this whole writing about my days that are usually boring and repetitive was restricting my writing creativity. Ok, ok, it could also be because I am super random and it takes more effort to sit and plan out the posts and have them correlate with the days than if I allow myself to write whatever I please and force you to read it!
Anywho... If you haven't figured it out by now, I will admit to the blog world that I am not domestic. Tis true that my mother is an amazing cook and my father is NOT. And it is also true that I take after him, not only do I look like him (thank you dad for the FAT genes!) but I have also inherited his inability to cook! However, just because I can't cook doesn't mean I can't bake! I love baking and decorating, cupcakes are my favorite! I have been looking on pinterest for diet friendly dessert recipes and I found one for Healthy Banana Applesauce Cookies and they came out quiet deliciously if I do say so myself!

These are actually my cookies, they kind of look like scones but they are delic!

Now that I have made you all hungry by showing you pictures of delicious cookies, I would like to talk about the 18 mile run I had this past Saturday. It was honestly one of the hardest runs I have ever had to do in my life! I struggled with the run from the beginning which I knew was not a good sign. I had to coach myself into continuing. I even talked to myself out loud like a crazy person. My knees hurt, my thighs hurt, my feet hurt, my calves hurt and I did not want to continue running. But somehow through the whining, almost crying, I was able to talk myself into continuing! I was very proud of myself for pushing through the physical and mental barriers. I am 3/4 of the way there now! I know that I can finish this marathon! Even if I do have to talk myself into it the whole time!
I will leave you with this beautiful picture of myself in an apron. One of the few times you will see me with one on! I look much cuter sitting and watching others do the cooking! :-)
