So much for training

I was supposed to run 9 miles today with the MIT marathon training group, but the weather did not cooperate. We got in 2.76 in the middle of some threatening storms and called it a day. It was the first day out for my new fuel belt:

Today was a hot day, except for the rain.  I've had this fuel belt for two years and never tried it because I never went very far and I felt silly carrying all that water and Gatorade with me.  It was a gift from my family for the last time I trained for the marathon (and then became sidelined).  Unfortunately I didn't get to really test drive it since our run was cut short. 

It was also the day before our pace coach's birthday and so I picked up some yummy butter cream frosted mini cupcakes from Blue Frost Cupcakes (show them some love sometime when you are in Worthington) to share after our run:

I had to pack a cooler full of ice to keep the butter cream icing from melting.  That too was sort of disappointing since they would have tasted so much sweeter after 9 miles.  Two of the cupcakes had little pieces of bacon on them.  YES BACON!  OMG.  The frosting was a maple flavor and the cupcake had a cinnamony flavor to it.  Awesome.

***WARNING*** 

SUGARY GOODNESS AHEAD

So now I'm feeling really guilty about the short run, especially after eating cupcakes this morning. And after eating one of these yesterday:

And eating this chocolate baklava from the Mad Greek this week:

And a generous slice of this DQ ice cream cake for a colleague's birthday: 

So much for losing weight.  I feel compelled to try and run 9 tomorrow, even after the 2 miles today.  Rain or shine.  Say hi if you see me on the trail.  I'll be the one with the shiny new fuel belt fighting a sugar coma.
