It was extra hot (77 and 85% humidity) and I was worried. I know I will feel disappointed in myself if I skipped workouts or didn’t give a solid and will think “I could have done better if I had only put in the work.” Or I can still feel very proud if I know I gave it my best and put in all the effort!! This is such a great race and I loved having my family and friends there to support me. I imagine what I can feel when I finish my race and don’t get the results I wanted. On days I don’t feel like it, or want to cut it short, I think about race day. I saw the beautiful buckle given to the overall winners and I wanted to win one!

I added one egg but I next time I won’t add any eggs as I like it to be more pudding like especially for Thanksgiving when bread and dressing are being served as well. You can add no eggs or 1 to 2 eggs for a lighter, more cake-like consistency.
