Chocolate Cake!

I really want to make a yummy chocolate cake. I have a great recipe for a chocolate bundt cake that has a chocolate ganache as icing. It is extremely yummy and I really want to make one!!! I haven't yet because I've been busy working and then I think it's a whole cake, which I know I would devour in a couple of days! Not good for my waistline or my hips, as that is where chocolate cake tends to end up on my body. I also get chubby cheeks when I eat too many sweets.

It would also sabotage my running results! I start week 5 today! I'm very excited about this because on my last run I was kind of annoyed that I had to walk 1 1/2 minutes between the 3 minute and 5 minute run, so I know that is progress. I feel like I need new music though. My workout music is getting a little old since I've been listening to it so much the past couple of weeks.

I have also been working a lot lately. I am on Reserve this month, so I'm basically on-call. I run the risk of people calling in sick so they won't have to work with certain people on the scheduled trips. So, I get the less appealing people to work with and it has made for a VERY long month. I hope my 3 day block of Reserve will change my luck and I hope and pray for a good crew :)

Maybe I will make that cake and take it to my crew.....hmmmm...at least the part I don't eat ;)

Camping on the Beach

I am writing this blog from inside my tent. I am camping on the beach at Carlsbad, California. I am going to sleep with the sound of waves crashing behind me. It is quite relaxing. I am a little sunburned from being on the beach. The sky has been overcast with clouds and today it was freezing!!! I think the high was 67! So, I am snuggled in my sleeping bag, all toasty and warm.

I am on week three of my running program. I really am enjoying the run. I can't tell a difference on my scale, but just the accomplishment of running has been worth it. I've found some great places to run at some of the hotels I've stayed at. I will be amazed when I can run for six or seven minutes!!! The longest I run right now is three minutes. I was able to run on the beach today. I can't wait to do that again!
