I am pretty stoked, I am now almost back to training properly. I have been unable to run all year up until a few weeks back. I am now in my 3rd week of running and have been running for up to 50min a day. My Coach, Robert Vaughn, is planning to get me to step up to 60min next week then if all goes well into some proper training.
This has to be the most excited I have been in a long time. For me not being able to run is like not being able to breathe, it is what I do. I am fizzing in anticipation of a hit out on the Track. I am going to end up red shirting Outdoor as well as Indoor, but hopefully I will manage to get in a few races before I head back home to NZ for Summer. Heres hoping I will be tearing it up like Willis and Mottram at the Mayoral Mile (photo.)
I am making a Carrot Cake at the moment. I am not too sure how it will turn out.
The ingredients were:Rye Flour, Oat Flour, Baking Soda, Honey, Ginger Powder, Dark Mollasses, Eggs, Milk, Cinnamon, and some Carrots.
I pretty much conned my way through the amounts and put in what felt right. I think it will turn out pretty good hopefully. The molasses will give it a nice dark colour (yes, colour does have a u, bloody Americans) also the ginger should compliment the carrot nicely. I would have tried some orange zest but I was experiencing a distinct lack or oranges at the time.
Right, the cake came out of the oven looking fantastic, and it tasted even better. If I have any advice it would to not be shy with the ginger, I put in what looked right but a bit more wouldn’t have hurt. Sorry bout the shithouse instructions but I guess I am assuming most people know how to put a cake together, and what it should look like. Recipes are like jogging, to be avoided at all costs.
