5 days and counting.....

I can't believe it is almost here. I have five days until I will be running the Rock N Roll San Diego 1/2 marathon. I am getting nervous, to put it mildly. But I am also oddly excited. There isn't much that I get excited about but this I am. I wonder if this means I have caught the running and racing bug? I hope not because then I would have to quit my beloved Bootcamp which I am not ready to give up. It has been hard this past week to not eat the sugar. Our family has celebrated two birthdays in the last 72 hours. For my childs birthday, she doesn't like me to bake her a cake, she likes the store brand. What store? Dairy Queen of course. Yep that is right, she loves the Dairy Queen Ice Cream cakes. A layer of vanilla and chocolate ice cream with cookie and fudge in the middle, frosted with lard and sugar, yummy and I have to admit, my favorite. I had a piece in my hands and Kent had to physically take it out of my hands. There was a death grip on it. I could just imagine the smell and the taste of the ice cream, so good. Kents cake on the other hand, a homemade pound cake with chocolate mocha buttercream frosting. Did you know there is actually a pound of butter in a pound cake? He was so sweetly informed that the cake goes to work with him tomorrow because I don't want it to hang around here. I warned the girls they might come home to a mom who is in a sugar induced coma. I keep saying give me my sugar when all this running is over, but truthfully then I probably wont want any!! All I have is 5 more days, 5 more days, 5 more days...
