Yesterday’s 6.6 mile morning run featured a yummy treat at the end: yummy cupcakes from one of my group mates!
Yummy lemon cupcake
The day before our running group received the following email from Lauren:
I made 24 lemon cupcakes last night (lemon cupcake w/lemon cream frosting). 20 of which have not yet been eaten by me as of this moment but will be if I leave them in my house. A hypothesis I am trying not to test. Would anyone be interested in such a thing first thing in the morning? Perhaps a post-6 miler treat? They will be in my car tomorrow morning 😉
Immediately the replies started coming:
“We have been known to eat such delicious treats following a run.” – Sue
“That’s the whole reason we run!!!” – Rachelle
“Is this a trick question? I believe I am available to assist with this… ” – Beth
“I have never been known to turn down a cupcake…” – Me
“I see shirts…’We never met a cupcake we didn’t like.'” – Sue
The replies continued and I couldn’t help but smile and be thankful.
Surely you can see why I absolutely love these ladies. Three times a week we get together and run. We are women (and our token one man) of all different ages, sizes and income brackets. We fare from all over our country (and some from abroad) and can’t seem to agree on our favorite breakfast joint. But for all the differences, we share our love for laughter… and most certainly our love for cupcakes.
As for loving running, that’s only on the good days. I’m pretty sure it’s the laughter and cupcakes that gets us out of bed in the morning.
Here’s to the ladies of Sue and Emily’s 5:00 pace group… the fairest ladies of them all!
Now off to yoga!
I Sweat Pretty 
Aww, that is super cute. The running community is so awesome!
Thanks!
I agree, the running community is great. It’s nice to have the support!
