Yuppie cupcake saves the day

This morning I ran 14.7 miles. I’ll write more about that tomorrow in my weekly training post. What concerns me now is what happened after the run. I stretched, showered, made my usual banana pancakes with peanut butter and then spent several hours lying on the couch recovering and flipping between the Brier semifinal on CBC and the college basketball games on the ESPNs. Around 3pm I decided it was time to get off the couch and take a walk to stretch out my legs. The problem was I couldn’t come up with a purpose for my walk and was therefore unmotivated to get off the couch. I didn’t need anything at the grocery store, drug store or any other store I could think of. Then I had a brilliant idea. I’d visit my new local cupcakerie – Trophy Cupcakes and Party in Wallingford Center.

So off I went for a nice 20 minute walk and it totally worked out some of the soreness and stiffness in my legs. I surprised myself and purchased a green tea cupcake instead triple chocolate. I just wasn’t craving anything super sweet and green tea sounded like a more unique flavour. Yuppie cupcakes are a bit of an extravagance for me but this was a tasty little dessert after dinner. Plus I got to play around with the macro setting on my camera.
