After I finished Tough Mudder, I thought I deserved a few desserts and took a break from running. Okay, by “Take a Break” I really mean I wouldn’t run even if a bear was chancing me. I might run if the bear was trying to take my cake though. Unfortunately the leggings incident has got me thinking I should “Take a Break” from desserts. My timing is perfect with Thanksgiving just around the corner. Can you say Tofurky? If I did that I might need to run from the angry dinner guests.
