Cookie Ministry

I am officially going to start utilizing my love of baking for a good purpose and since I am pregnant and can't eat raw cookie dough my figure shouldn't suffer too much.  I signed up for the "Cookie Ministry" at church.  We make cookies and they get delivered in a variety of ways to the community throughout the month.  Some are put in meals they hand out to the homeless.  Some are delivered to local patient care centers such as those for pregnant teens.  This should be fun but it is a lot of cookies.  They ask for six dozen once a month.  I need to buy some cooling racks.  I've always just sat my cookies to cool on foil on my counter top.  The hubby thinks it is time to upgrade a bit.

I think these will be my first batch which I stumbled across on this blog:  http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/chocolate-chip-cookiesa-must-make/

Exercise update.  Last week looked like this:

Bike:  70.95 Mi - 4h 15m Pace: 17.08 Mi/hr
Run:  11.00 Mi - 1h 54m
I also spent about 20 minutes lifting some weights and a little bit of time on the elliptical.  I didn't run as much as I would have liked but I did put in 4 days of running.  It is difficult to have any mile accumulation when I'm really only doing 3 miles per session.

Today I ran outside with Travis & Sam right after church.  It was about 65 degrees and we had a break in rain showers so we decided to take advantage of it.  We ran 3.62 miles and Sam fell asleep about 20 minutes into it so while I was done running after the 3.62 we did walk for a total of around 5.5 miles.  It was nice.  Now if I could just stop peeing myself when I run I would be a happy camper.  TMI I know but hey it is one of the crappy things about being pregnant and it is what I am dealing with every time I run so I figured I may as well share - sorry!
