It's that time again! Time to 'fess up before the weekend!
I confess....
I had one more race last Saturday. It was my third race in three weeks. I survived, but I didn't perform that well on this last one. It was Benson 5k near where I live, for Greer Community Ministries. They fed my mother-in-law daily for the last few years she was in her home (through Meals On Wheels). I was glad to give back a little bit for so much that they gave to her. This was the first race I have done where there was a prayer for the runners before the start. I confess that is was very, very nice.
It wasn't my greatest time (but not my worst either). As usual I went out too fast, then hit a wall. I'm getting to be a fairly decent runner, but not a great racer. I'm improving, but it's slow going.

I discovered a new running music website - Rock My Run. I did a review on them here. I love their mixes. On tap is an 8 mile run for this Saturday - the most I have attempted to date. So I'm thinking I might need a new mix to help me get through it.
I confess.....
that instead of dreading the long run on Saturday I am really looking forward to it, and to running with my friends. I've missed the last couple of runs, so I'm eager to get back with them.
I confess....
that I would LOVE to win the giveaway SUAR is doing this weekend for a set of Yurbuds Sport Earbuds. The ones she's giving away are made specifically for women.
One of the ways to enter is to blog about this giveaway....so....done! Check out her page for all the details, and to enter yourself!!
I confess....
that we made these delectable Triple Layer Brownies during my baking group this week. They were so good. The residents had lots of steps to get through. Put the cookie dough in the pan, unwrap all the Reese cups, place them on the dough....watch me do the brownie mix. And they ooohed and aaaahed when they came out of the oven....
I confess....
that I briefly thought about how to hide some to take home and stash in my freezer. My sister talked me out of it. And good thing, 'cause they never would have made it to my freezer!!
So, we gave them ALL away.
Mamarazzi is on a bloggy break, but Aubry over at High-Heeled Love is hosting.
What are YOU confessing this week? Spill the beans, you'll feel much better!
Oh my gosh those brownies look ridiculously good! I'm going to be dreaming about them all day now.
ReplyDeleteand they are super easy! You could make some this weekend!
DeleteWay to go with your running! You inpsire me! :)
ReplyDeleteThose brownies literally have me drooling on my desk... wow...
Happy Friday! :)
Thanks for the encouragement! The brownies are really easy - make yourself some!
DeleteI have got to make those brownies! The coworkers will LOVE me.
ReplyDeleteYou will be a Super Star!! Super easy too!
DeleteI confess that everytime I read your Confessional posts, I walk away hungry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up. Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy that run in the morning.
Those brownies look way too good. I think brownies are on the slate for this weekend.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your 8 miler! I remember when I was first getting up to that mileage; scary! At first. But then it becomes really comfortable. I actually really like miles 6-10. Really manageable. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI've been doing 5 hilly miles about once a week for the past month - so looking forward to increasing. I've done a 10K - I wasn't at all ready for it, but at least finished. What are you up to these days? My goal for next year (my 45th year) is to do a 1/2 marathon. Do you follow a specific running plan?
DeleteWhat a great combo- running and eating yummy brownies. I need to remember to link up with you on Friday's for a confessional. So cool!
