Move along... 
Yesterday, other than pilates, I didn't accomplish anything exercise-wise. I didn't even make it to the gym to drop off magazines. But I did get new walking shoes, and am thinking about going back to get another pair.
I lusted over running clothes. So cute! Why are they denied to me?
To further add insult to injury, when I caught the bus, the driver made the bus kneel. As if I couldn't step up! Am I that fat?
Anyways. Tomorrow is the acid-test, tomorrow I decide if I will be marathoning or half-marathoning in 21 short days. Today I rest, hydrate, and have unparalleled access to carbohydrates. Tonight, I'll stock up on ice and materials for egg sandwiches. We are already well-equipped with chocolate milk (yes, it breaks the no liquid calories rule. Who cares? I'll have a margarita with dinner too, just cuz).
In the interest of science, I share with you my exceptional yet humble egg sandwich, which is inspired by the same at Grand Central Bakery:
Egg Sandwich
One egg
One bolo roll
2 slices Canadian bacon
1 slice pepper-jack cheese
Fry the canadian bacon, then set aside. Cut bolo in half, and toast. Cook egg in your favorite method until lightly set (over-easy)*. Place cheese, then bacon, then egg on the bolo. Serve immediately, preferably to a naked person in a bathtub (cuz this is messy).
* The usual caveats about undercooked eggs are offered here.

Yummy recipe! I've been on a BIG Canadian bacon kick lately. :)

Good luck trying to decide which one to do! Either way, you'll be accomplishing something great... I love pilates, too, and I just remembered how much when I went to a class this week. It definitely makes you stronger.

LOL! I thought I was the only one who donated magazines the gym.

Wuhoo, I'm doing 21 miles tomorrow! It'll be great. I just keep saying that to myself in the hopes that it will be.
Lynne - I've been on a CB kick too. Especially since I've discovered egg sandwiches. The roll is the key -- it's gotta be substantial enough to absorb that yolk.
Rachel -- I so want to do the marathon. We'll see how it works out. Pilates has been wonderful fun, and it's nice to see that after three weeks of it, it's really getting better. (and I'm getting stronger)
Jon. I have a magazine problem. Not only do I have stacks at home, but I am unable to _not_ steal magazines from the gym if they look interesting. I am powerless before magazines! So, to try to equalize things, I bring them back, and then some.
And I can't bear to throw them out. Could I send them to you ;)

Look, any recipe that involves nudity and a bath tub, that's going into heavy rotation. No question. And it *will* be great! 21 miles? In your sleep!
