If I'm looking for a treat after a particularly hard workout, I head to Andy's for frozen custard!

I ran c25k, w5d2 with my friend on Friday. It started raining mid way through and it felt great! She ran w5d3 by herself yesterday and called me in tears when she finished running 2 miles without stopping!

Saturday was another 40 mile ride with the girls, this time lots of hills, but still at a blistering 14.9 mph pace!

Sunday, pretty much did nothing, other than walking around a music festival for a couple of hours.

I love w5d3. Just love it. Remember it like yesterday.

LOL at this: Sunday, pretty much did nothing, other than walking around a music festival for a couple of hours.
Two years ago that wouldn't have been "nothing" for me :laugh:

W5D3 is a really important run, both mentally and physically. Doing that meant that I was a runner, at least in my own eyes. Of course now, I can't believe it was that hard. As I do this most Tuesdays .... on the way to my workout.

The walking around the music festival was a lot like my geocaching on Saturday afternoon, not a lot of exercise per se, but a lot of on my feet time, that I couldn't have done, even a year ago. LOVE this being fitter!!

Yes, Ceci, I looked at a frozen custard place ("Rita's" was next to the supermarket that I went to), but I guess that I've been desserted out.

Thinking about it. Most of the time, my entire life, I generally craved something and I ate too much of it. I would go from milk shakes, to doughnuts, to Ben & Jerry's, to tastykake pies, to whatever. I never wanted all of those, just one of them and it would last for months and then switch. For the first quarter of this year it's been cake, sheet cake, cupcakes, etc. But I'm now over that. Right at the moment it happens to be cheesecake. Ideally my mother's version with cherry or strawberry topping, but store bought chocolate cheesecake is a close second, and store bought cherry topped or strawberry topped a just as close third. If there was somewhere on Sunday that I could buy one piece of chocolate cheesecake, I would have. I could have bought a whole one at the supermarket, but I don't want to run a half marathon every day and would have to, because I would have eaten the entire thing if it was in the house. So, since I couldn't have what I really wanted, I just didn't want anything.

My current plan is to see if my mother will make a cheesecake for my birthday. She doesn't like to do it often. But I'm hoping that she might be up for it. If not, then I'm going to have to get the recipe from her, and borrow or buy the pan, and give it a try myself. It's her own recipe and not like store bought cheesecake. Neither is the cherry topping as it uses tart cherries as the base and has half the sugar of the original recipe. I prefer it. Her strawberry topping is more typical, but still good. The cheesecake is fluffier and about half the calories, but that's still a lot of calories. It's worth every bite though. She would make it for company throughout my childhood and most people who have tried it, have loved it, even over other cheesecakes.
