we did it again

did our 'long' run today. it was meant to be 15miles and 3 and a half big ups. it was nearer 18 and a short scramble. hotter than we thought and over an hour longer than we planned. we only had a small bottle of lucozade each and a few jelly babies. yet again we have managed to break ourselves whilst still being very near our house.
down.down.
home to left over paella, which didn't even touch the sides.


....to make up for the lack of recent cake shots, here's a snap of jane's birthday cake, fresh from the oven. had a bit of a disaster with the sponge and had to cut the burned edges off....hoping that the hundreds 'n' thousands will disguise this...
CAKE...

Happy birthday Jane!
It has got to be chocolate cake for a birthday.

Kate your training is putting mine to shame.

Jane said...

thanks for the birthday wishes sbrt. this was my biggest ever distance underestimation, I seem to be getting worse at it!

kate said...

sbrt- don't worry, i spent most of saturday drinking cocktails :)

jane- ah, so it was officially your fault!

Happy Birthday Jane! Cake looks gooood. Rugby Rover was good, especially as I wasn't running it! This support crew lark is ok, chips and cider...

gaynor- b'day wishes passed on :) glad RR went well, we barely made it from bed to sofa, must have been something we ate ;)

Hi - great blog! Discovered you via the swiss lounge.

I've been trying to inspire myself to go out for a run today (I've been out with a groin strain for a while - it's better now, but I can't push it too hard) and I think your photos have done the trick.

Adventure! yet again.
You are quite the "Kate" of all trades, beautiful cake shot. Mine never turn out quite so neat and tidy.

dominic- ay-up :) glad to be of service, hope you did get out. and thanks, i've just lost nearly an hour on the squares ;)

jessie- thanks, but i think if you look closely it does look like it's been made by a 5yr old, tastes great though!

Eh? Oh, THOSE squares (the musical ones). Time vampire par excellence.
