Late yesterday devolved into a Disney screen play in which I lost my cat, my stove, and the dogs ate a 4 layer carrot cake. Luckily I did find my cat. and the stove was purchased, rather than stolen. However, the cake --intended for Michelle's Hartford Marathon Victory party will never be recovered. I'm glad it's Tuesday.

Oh wow....sounds almost like a country song :)

Darn dogs! Recently Lucy destroyed my 9X13 glass pan by trying to eat the brownie crust (luckily we'd eaten the good parts - often she gets to the good stuff first). I can completely sympathize with the cake!

You did get some good miles in though! Are you going to do the Halloween 1/2 again this year?

Seriously, you have no idea. Thank you for reminding me of the brownie incident. I am not as upset as I was when it happened. Since I don't live on the trail anymore, I have to walk them in the evenings isntead of taking them on 6-8 mile runs every day. So they have been busy misbehaving and acting out. They did however, once steal a beautiful rib-eye steak off my plate a few summers ago (silently and stealthily without even moving the dish while my head was turned). As far as Halloween, I *think* I wont. I am recovering my iron, resting, eating, and trying to get in a place where training for Boston will be a joy instead of burden. I may still do it, but I am not ready to run 13 miles right now. I've been doing 3-6 every few days. Last year was so much fun though, I may cave.

Cave, cave, cave! (but no peer pressure here) I'm not going to race it, I just want a good fun run like last year. So, if you do CAVE I'd be happy to just take it easy with you.

Oh, the stories I could off on about my sweet Lucy eating my food. I swear it's always MY food she eats too. Maybe it's because I'm the only one that leaves theirs out and doesn't eat it all right away. I can see how the lack of running would make them misbehave, but don't worry - they get used to it :)
