Happy Saturday!
Last night I signed up for the Egg Shell Shuffle 5k.
My stepmom heard about the race and called me up to tell me about it. It’s the day before Easter, and you can run with the Easter bunny, and after the race there is an egg hunt for kids and adults. An adult Easter egg hunt?! Sign me up!
I think it’ll be a lot of fun, and I’m really looking forward to it. Instead of a typical race t-shirt, the Egg Shell Shuffle gives out Asics running shorts! I thought that was kind of cool, and I’m much more likely to wear the shorts than I am another t-shirt. The best part – there is a finisher’s medal. I love finisher’s medals. They make me happy.
Today’s Workout
- 1.34 miles treadmill, walked
- BootCamp – 60 minutes
I woke up at about 6am this morning and was at the gym by 6:45am. I walked on the treadmill before heading to Boot Camp. I haven’t been to Boot Camp probably since the summer, and I forgot what a great workout it is! By the time it was over, I felt like I was dying.
After the gym, I came back home and picked up Danny and the kids. A few ladies at the gym last week were talking about a local mom and pop coffee shop nearby that’s really good, so I thought we could check it out.
One of my biggest weaknesses in life in donuts. I love them. On my 30th birthday, all I wanted was a box of Dunkin Donuts.
Eating donuts on my 30th b-day last year:
When I heard the coffee shop had awesome donuts, I had to check it out. My dad and stepmom met us over there.
They had so many different types of donuts – turtle, cookies and cream, red velvet, s’mores, sprinkles.
I decided that today would be my day for a treat, so Danny and I ordered a peanut butter donut and a chocolate donut to share.
I also had half of an egg white and cheese breakfast sandwich but it was just meh. I really liked the donuts. They were cake donuts, which I love. Actually, I don’t discriminate against any donut…except the bacon donuts. I really liked the peanut butter donut. I’ve never had a peanut butter donut before, and it was good. I also had a few bites of Jaden’s sprinkle donut.
The coffee shop is right across the street from where they’re buiding the new gym, so we drove by to check out the progress.
Looks good! I can’t wait until it’s open!
Have a great weekend!
Questions of the day:
- Do you like donuts? Favorite breakfast food?
- Have you ever take a Boot Camp class before?
- Any plans or workouts today?
The donuts look delicious. I too am a big donut fan but DD no longer offers what I thought was their best donut ever, the “BUTTERMILK”. Everyone I knew loved them and dumb DD takes them off the rotation list. Oh well, their loss.
Just found a 10% off coupon in our local mailer for the donut shop you mentioned….funny , now I’ll have to try it!!
Sorry about the buttermilk donuts…what about the apple fritter?! I love jelly donuts
What is the cafe called?! I just moved to the Chicago suburbs and am in need of a good donut place!
I think it was called Good Mornings Cafe.
I am going to be at that 5k too! I will get to see you guys there!
Awesome! It looks like a lot of fun!
Those donuts look tasty! I read this while eating a leftover cinnamon roll I froze after Christmas. Otherwise I would have to go get a donut myself.
You are SO in trouble for posting a picture of that incredibly delicious looking peanut butter donut. I would be ALL over that if I had one near me. YUM!!!
An adult Easter Egg hunt sounds like so much fun. I bet that race will be awesome.
There was no way I could pass up a peanut butter donut!
LOVE cake donuts! Haven’t had one in ages.
those donuts look yummy
The donuts sounded nice until you said they were cake donuts. Cake donuts give me instant migraines. Weird. I also think it’s ironic the new gym is being built across the street from a gourmet donut shop! Gotta love it!
LOVE LOVE LOVE chocolate donuts or coffee rolls from Dunks. And to be strange, the coffee rolls need to sit out for a while so that some of the sugar glaze will crack off.

I’ve never had the coffee rolls – I’ll have to try one!
My favorite breakfast food is a breakfast casserole. So much goodness shoved into one delicious bite! yum!
Who does not love a good donut??? I have really enjoyed the bootcamp classes since joining my gym. So bummed that I missed Fridays class because of a snow storm!!
That Easter 5k race sounds awesome. I mean handing out asic shorts at the end?? That’s too cool
donuts with Bavarian cheese please.!
