Cake fuelled running

My toffee legs have been a bit dodgy and I thought I was done for.  But happily after overdoing cake at a wedding blessing, I came home and launched out to the woods, nice run in the end and even did 6km, no stopping for achy legs, so it seems like I am back - sticking to shorter runs to get settled but very very happy, thanks for your support in my dark days!!
