bitter magnet

yay, i ran ~7 miles today (and i was only supposed to run 4!). the thing is ran a little over four miles initially, but then when i got back to the house my mom still wasn't home from shopping (and i didn't have the key). so after waiting a bit i ran another mile, came back, and same thing..i did this 3 times. anyway, it was great because (1) it was sunny and 62 degrees outside, and (2) after i was finished i wasn't exhausted and (3) that means i don't have to run the ~3 miles i have to tomorrow . it's amazing, just a year ago jogging 7 miles was so difficult.

anyways afterwards my mom and i made pumpkin pie, with a wheat-free crust (combination of almond flour, oat bran, and flax seeds). i still haven't tried it yet, but my mom did and said it was really good. she used sour cream for the topping, instead of sweetened whipped cream. i think that is an excellent idea, as usually whipped cream is too sweet for me (esp if the dessert itself is already too sweet). i've tried using yogurt but it doesn't have the same consistency. oh well-i get to find out soon after i have dinner! :)
