For Easter, I thought it would be fun to translate the carbs I burned on today’s run into Easter candy equivalencies.

I knew today was going to be a little bit tough, but I kept telling myself that all I needed to do was get past the first 15 miles, and I would be fine.

@Eric, you are amazing. I happened to pick up one of those Lindt chocolate bunnies today, and the thought of eating five of them… I think I might actually rather run 15 miles. 🙂 Maybe if I ran 15 miles I could consider eating five of them? Oh right, I don’t have diabetes. Dang it, less Easter candy for me.
