Yesterday afternoon I drove up to LA and met up with my friend and then headed north to Paso Robles for the race.
The only reason she’s my friend?
Crumbs cupcakes! Bestest friend in the universe and best fueling ever. <—ask me how I feel after the race, might not be THE best but I’ll hedge my bets.
Love the Halloween eye cupcake and the cream cheese frosting on the carrot cake is da best.
Driving up the 101 we had to stop at Laeticia Winery for a quick wine tasting because we both love it and consider it sacrilege to drive by without stopping. They have a sparkling wine tasting and R is a member there so we got a discount and free tasting. sweetness.
Combine with the cupcakes, the sparkling wine really makes for a great healthy pre-race meal.
Ok, enough monkey business. It’s time to go run.
Off to do #37

What a great friend. I still want her pizza crust recipe.
Good luck at your race!! Science experiment hypothesis: cupcakes boost race performance!
Good luck! It’s totally normal to fuel with cupcakes!
Cupcakes and wine sounds like a great way to fuel for a race!
Good luck on #37!
You kind of rock my world, NUMBER TWENTY SEVEN?!
Holy crap, I was so excited I even typed it wrong. Like 27 isn’t a crazy number, THIRTY SEVEN?!
Oh yum. Wine and cupcakes sound perfect. Good luck!!
I can’t wait to hear how it went! Best of luck.
Those cupcakes is making my life right now.
I don’t know about anyone else, but when I run, the only thing I keep thinking is how blessed I am to have my health to be able to walk, let alone run. I hope your friend gets the brace off soon and feels much better!

Hey SR, hope you had a GREAT race today! Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU, I’ve been reading your blog over the last few months whilst training for a half marathon and found it so encouraging. The race was today and I took 6 minutes off my PR so wanted to say thanks for all the inspiration you’ve provided
OMG, those cupcakes look amazing. Hmm…I may have to figure out a way to go to LA and try them some time!! Sitting on the injured list myself, I can relate to Reese’s frustration. Speedy recovery, girl!!
If those cupcakes taste as good as they look, I’m super jealous!! Hope the race went well!
Hope you had a wonderful race today!!
Those cupcakes look fantastic. I usually don’t eat the cake part of cupcakes but I usually do like both parts of those fancy boutique cupcakes.
Hey SR! Just wanted to let you know I am totally OBSESSED with your blog since I discovered it a few weeks ago. Can’t wait to hear how you did in the marathon today, although I’m sure you rocked it!!
thanks for being obsessed!
