My first Ultra Marathon. Blues Cruise 50k.
So back in May, in a text conversation with my friend Emily, I decided that trying a trail race might suit my personality because I seriously hate road races. I love training but the nerves, the pressure and all of that wasn’t making me happy… so why was I doing it? I have no dreams of Boston. I’m not fond of shorter distances because I never seem warmed up in time. And I had started my heart rate training which you can read about here and loved running 3-4 hours.
As I’ve mentioned before, I started to train in my lower heart rate zones therefore allowing me to go greater distances without a turnaround. As a matter of fact, relatively no turnaround. I could run 22 or 24 today and do 8 or 10 the next day without being sore. I was sleeping better. I felt great. So Emily suggested an ultra. AN ULTRA MARATHON? Me? I hated doing my last marathon and this was 5 more miles. Who after running a marathon wants to run 5 more miles? Apparently, I did.

October!!!! Gah. We love it. Apples. Cool temperatures. Fires. Blankets. Cozy clothes. Love love love. And in the spirit of the autumnal season, I wanted to make a seasonal birthday treat for my husband in lieu of the traditional birthday cake that no one in my family likes.
Of course with fall comes rain and wet leaves. My husband and I just got back from a very wet, slippery run before the sunrise. Thinking a big cup of steaming tea is in order but before that… I wanted to share this recipe with you before the crazy day gets started. Super easy to make. Heavenly aromas in the house. The perfect, delicious and easy dessert to use up some of those apples that you have on hand.
