Sunday Check-in

[ell]

Happy Easter/Passover/Other spring holiday!

What's your mileage and activity so far? (I'll compile and post the first summary on Tuesday)

Also, what's your favorite seasonal food/candy at this time of year? Mine is Peeps and since I just brought some home from the US, I have been gorging on them with temve this evening.

Happy Running!

14.7 for me--round if you want.

And hot cross buns. Love them. Paczkis are a close second.

[linaelyn]

OOOOOOOOOH! I totally forgot about Hot Cross Buns. <3<3<3

[ell]

Mmmm...hot cross buns :-)

What are Paczkis? Like Polish donuts?

[thalia]

Jelly doughnuts. They might be a Chicago thing; we have a large Polish population. These are classic:

They are like Berliners ;)

[semielliptical]

22 miles, 1.5 hours - oops, actually 19 miles, 1 hour - I forgot that the month started on Wednesday.

I am fond of jelly beans, though I just realized I haven't had any yet this year!

[ell]

I missed out on the jelly beans this year as well, but I love the Jelly Belly flavors :-)

[raininshadows]

So far, 3 miles and about an hour of active time. (Lugging a duffel bag full of clothes around an airport counts as active time, right?)

[ell]

Absolutely it counts!

[frayadjacent]

5 km
1.5 hours

[ilanarama]

7 miles, 30 minutes. (I haven't done anything yet today. I also may be facing another cutback due to recurrence of stupid back issues, sigh.)

Peeps are best when they're slightly stale!

[linaelyn]

Peeps are best when they're used to make microwave s'mores!

[ell]

Which reminds me, I forgot to bring graham crackers home from the US to make s'mores for my German friends!

[thalia]

You can buy some in Scotland! Yay!

[linaelyn]

and I'm so sad to hear your stupid back issues are acting up again!

[ell]

Indeed, a well-aged Peep is a culinary delight!

so sorry to hear about the back issues, I hope it's not too bad :-(

[franzi1981]

8.5km and 1 hour so far. Skipping today's workout as I might or might not have a cold coming and I'd rather skip one and go back on Wed then force tonight and be out for the next 1.5 weeks.

Candy: Well, since peeps can now be had all year round, I don't count them as Easter. I would say: Milka Loeffeleier (the milk cream ones) and Cadbury Creme Eggs. It's a tie!

[linaelyn]

I'm right there with you on the Cadbury creme eggs! *NOMS*

[franzi1981]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmh. I discovered the Chocolate variety this year. Yum.

[ell]

Yay for being reasonable with your health!

Also, have you had the hazelnut Löffeleier? I think it's a new flavor this year, or maybe I just didn't notice them last year. I didn't even manage a single cream egg this year. I bought a few but I think they got eaten before I had a chance. I was buying sweets for the martial arts camp folks...

[franzi1981]

Not yet since I can't get them here, but my parents bought some for us so once I'm back, I can try them :D

[temve]

Zero miles - I'm sick :P

[linaelyn]

I'm so sorry to hear that! *gives virtual tea*

[linaelyn]

13 miles, 3.5 active hours.

My favorite is definitely Cadbury eggs, followed by hard-boiled eggs (elaborately colored shells, of course.) See's candy makes some really lovely dark chocolate buttercream eggs, and I love their Mayfair eggs as well.

[ell]

Mmmmm...chocolate eggs :-) See's makes some good candy!

Also, go you for all that running and activity!

[ell]

For me, I managed 20 miles of running, but no active hours. Luckily, I have aikido tonight to remedy that :-)

[blnchflr]

0 km (ankle, travelling, and now a miserable cold).

2 active hours (hiking in a nature reserve just outside Prague <3 )!

[nanila]

No running yet (Easter + no child care cover). 4.7 active hours - lots of walking with baby!
