Both my Huskies celebrate a birthday in October so this week I had a joint birthday party. This is Baxter’s big 1st birthday and Blitz turns 6, YIKS how time flies.
Trying to fit everything in around 4 training days was a big challenge. My first run was after work along the Spokane river, one of my favorite routes.
I did my second run on the treadmill because I’m getting to be a whimp when the weather is a little iffy.
Saturday was a seven mile walk and during this long walk I contemplated what my half marathon costume would be for the Wine and Dine race weekend. Its weeks away so I better get started. I so enjoyed this walk, as the color of trees are changing and are so beautiful. This has to be one of favorite times of the year.
My knees are acting up so I decided to do my long run on the treadmill and cut the run short by 10 miles. Due too several obstacles: late start (1:00pm), ran morning errands, didn’t eat enough so consequently I only completed 7 miles. I’m okay with that, I just can’t make a habit of skimping on the long runs or I’ll never been ready for Dopey.
Rather than cooking a recipe from a Disney Cookbook I baked the pups their own birthday cake they received from their monthly subscription box. It looked like yummy red velvet cake, but it was really beet flavored.
The box showed a beautiful 2 layer cake with lots of frosting, so I don’t know why my version was ONE very flat dense round cake with a thin layer of frosting. Looked more like a pancake than a fluffy cake.
It didn’t make any difference to my two birthday pups what the cake looked like, they enjoyed it as if some famous chef had created a masterpiece of deliciousness.
