When I ran cross country, our 3 mile runs were called Candy Runs.  Rumor had it that the coach used to give candy at the finish.  I think it was a lie really.  I never got candy, nor did I see anyone else get candy.  I think it was his trick to get us to run faster.

Today, Garbanzo and I both ran 3 mile routes.  While the paths crossed, the major difference was the fact I ran by the Italian bakery which is about 5 blocks from our house.  He stopped at the Italian bakery.  And bought this.  A pastry for some Italian holiday which I cannot remember the name of.

I’m making him share.
