Tempo Runs Kick My Butt

Heey!! Happy Wednesday!!! What all have you guys been up to this week???

I've been pretty much just getting back into the school routine...so far I'm enjoying my classes, which is a good sign!!! Although, seeing my cat sleep on the couch all afternoon sort of makes me wish that I could do the same thing. :P

Aaand why are you disturbing me?

So anyway, Friday I did my very first tempo run, which was a heck of a lot tougher than I anticipated it being! I figured that well, since I wasn't going to run at my fastest speed, but instead at a moderate one, I would be ok. Let me just say that by the end of it I was one heck of a sweaty beast! haha I enjoyed it, but my favorite runs are probably the speed runs, which is weird, but I like running fast. :P Which type of training run do you prefer: hill, tempo, speedwork or a long run? 


So last night, I had a little bit of a baking disaster. For dinner, I wanted to make some of my favorite quick rolls to serve as a side. However, I forgot to add baking powder to the mixture because the original recipe calls for self-rising flour, so baking powder isn't on the ingredient list. We don't usually buy self-rising flour here, so you have to add some salt and baking powder to it whenever a recipe calls for self-rising. Anyway, after about 20 minutes, the rolls still looked sort of small and undercooked, so I took out the recipe and reread it. That's when I realized what I had done! I guess that we weren't supposed to have rolls last night....hahaha Do you have any funny kitchen disaster stories? 

Well, I had better get to studying....have to get some stuff done before spin!!
