- Mile 1 - ?:??
- Mile 2 - ?:??
When I got back from the warm-up, Jessica was waiting ready and waiting outside my apartment. I did my best to stall the inevitable discomfort that accompanies running with Jessica, but to little effect. Off we went! Here are our splits
- Mile 1 - 9:05
- Mile 2 - 8:42
- Mile 3 - 8:38
- Mile 4 - 8:43
- Mile 5 - 8:55 (At the Mile 4 mark, I stopped and told Jessica that I couldn't run anymore. Fortunately, she made me get going again.)
- Total - 5 miles, 8:49 average pace
Next time, I hope to not have to stop at all.
Last night, I used the approximately 34839024832 pounds (Okay, two pounds) of blueberries that I bought over the weekend to make blueberry muffins. I baked a test one last night to make sure that they didn't taste like fish or something:
This morning, I put the batter in paper liners and baked the rest. Unfortunately, they are sticking to the paper liners, which makes them ugly and deformed on the bottom. Oh well, back to silicone it is!
Also, thank you for all the suggestions for birthday presents, especially the chocolate-covered pug [riding on a motorcycle]. Keep 'em coming; I need all the help I can get.

Good job on that run! I would definitely not be able to maintain that speed for five miles. Nice work! And those muffins look delicious... slash make me want to eat the cheesecake that's sitting on the other side of my cubicle right now...
Wow, miss super speedy! You're my hero!
So... did they taste like fish?? haha Great run!! (whether you think so or not. :) )
I'm so glad your survived. I wish I had a speedy runner friend, Jessica to kick my butt. WAY TO GO!!
Great job on your run!! Awesome pace!
speedy run! i'm glad you didn't have to be carted to the hospital.
those muffins look fantastic. do the silicone liners help?
Awesome run! ~8 minute runs are fantastic!
Love the cinnamon sugar crust on those blueberry muffins--looks so tasty :)
wow, those muffins looks gREAT!
another suggestion for the b-day boy: chocolate cake with raspberry cream cheese frosting topped with fresh raspberries. Or if you can spare some cash, a trip to Las Vegas!
I think a trip somewhere sounds fun too! My BF is really bad (his words, not mine) at picking actual, tangible object-type of gifts, so he always opts for some kind of activity instead. A really special restaurant or a concert or an adventure hike somewhere (which is why I kind of tried to do the same and take him to the theater for Monty Python). We once went to see my favorite comedian perform at a comedy club in San Francisco, and we both really, really enjoyed that. :)
yeah, those muffins look pretty darn tasty. For the sake of my expanding stomach roll, it's probably good that I resisted. After some though yesterday, I believe I'm making you run too fast for your tempo. But that's not a bad thing, right?!
Hi Mica,
I got your message on Flickr and Meiby's blog. I'd love to talk about pugs if you have any questions. haha. We just love our Meiby :) How is Genny Kroepel? I haven't heard from her in a while but I'd assume they have no puppies. She told us that Meiby's litter was the last they'd have. Anyway, nice to hear from you. Email me if you want: ameetek16 at yahoo dot com
i like your liberal use of cinnamon sugar. you can never have too much of that stuff-yumm!
You are so funny! You also have a really good, supportive running partner who doesn't let you die on the side of the road. We all could use such friends.
Those muffins are making me so hungry!
Also, Matt actually is going to CSU for Molecular, Cellular, and Integrative Sciences (or something like that). It's pretty crazy. He plays guitar and was in a band in high school so I think he just loves playing with tunes!
And CHOCOLATE COVERED PUG? WHAT!
great job on the muffins! they look tasty!
Way to smoke that run!
P.s. Did that muffin recipe come from Cook's Illustrated? I am eating a similar looking muffin that Mr. Pi made last night!
