8 miles in the wind! I have a philosophy that running into the wind makes one a stronger runner. I also had a philosophy that If I eat a bag of mini robin eggs it doesn't matter if it is snowing outside, it will be spring in my heart. Spring in my heart brings thunder to my thighs... No more philosophizing until summer! I also notice that my font is changing as I go on. What is happpening here?!?!

Easter is just the best candy season, you can't argue with that! All the other seasons just change the colors/packaging - but Easter brings new items to the table (shelf)! :-)

HA JAKE! This is true! Cadbury mini eggs are only around once a year. Yum-0!

They're so good! But why are they more expensive that other chocolates? They should be the same as M&Ms, but are always at least $.50 to $1.00 more!

Oh, please don't stop philosophizing, you are so funny!! My special candy season is Christmas, when all my family and friends know that I love Candy Cane Kisses. Thankfully, I can get Krabby Patties year round. Jeesh, I do not need to be thinking about candy so early in the morning. :-)

Crabby patties. Every time I See that word, I think of crabs. And not the crabs YOU might be thinking of. LOL ewww sorry.

Cadbury Mini Eggs and Starburst Jelly Beans. Yum.

From Lily on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 09:09:30 from 67.199.178.95

Last year I went a little too crazy on the Easter candy. I think I gained 5 lbs the week of Easter. Fatty McGee I was the fattest. This year I am being disciplined. I haven't bought a little bag of mini eggs for myself yet. Mini eggs now...saddle bags later!

From Lily on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 09:11:05 from 67.199.178.95

Kam, I actually bought a giant bag of each of those.My favs! I put them in a plastic bin to save or Easter and had my husband put it in the crawl space. I am scared of the crawl space. Deterrent successful.

I like your theories Lily. :) Nice running in the wind today.

The little crabs I'm thinking of are the ones they use to make food at the Krusty Krab in Bikini Bottom. Uhhh, maybe these are the same crabs you're thinking of... *spitting out my candy*

So I see you fell off the no sugar wagon as well :)

From allie on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 11:26:18 from 161.38.221.168

i also love the starburst jelly beans. and that cellophane easter basket grass.

lily: maika c. has run (and won) the OC marathon a few times. she doesn't blog on here anymore, but i'm sure she would have some good insights. http://maika.fastrunningblog.com/blog-OC-Marathon/05-06-2012.html

From Carina on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 11:26:25 from 204.15.86.83

Dang jelly beans get me everytime!! Nice run!

From Lily on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 11:26:44 from 67.199.178.95

Lulu oooooooh the shame! Haha, I'm back on track. I threw lent to the wind, sorta. I'm back on track and my arse will thank me later ;)

From Lily on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 11:29:07 from 67.199.178.95

Thanks Allie!

Carina, those dang jelly beans will not cling to my hips this year! The crawl space is guarding them. Ha

From Kam on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 11:47:31 from 68.66.163.179

Your crawl space is full of candy...this would be a great playground insult. I got a bag of regular type and the reds only bag. I wish I left the regular type at the store, but I tend to miss the green ones.

From RachelT on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 12:14:54 from 24.10.224.129

Cadbury mini eggs, yum. They are my diet downfall every easter. Well pretty much all easter candy. And Christmas candy, and Halloween candy. What other holidays can we add chocolate to. Nice job running into the wind Lily!

From Jackie82 on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 14:28:59 from 18.189.42.191

I concur on all fronts, especially the mini robin's eggs as long as they are the same thing as malt ball eggs!!! Nice job getting stronger from the wind!

From gdoc on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 19:49:54 from 98.202.193.212

Those smallest eggs dont even have calories in them. Eat as many as you want. Youre a Rockstar.
