BK and a Big Announcement

on April 1, 2009

Ugh I TOTALLY didn’t feel like cooking oatmeal this morning. The Husband didn’t want to make breakfast either, so we drove to Burger King for some breakfast.

I got an orange juice, a coffee, a yummy ham and cheese buttered sammie, a large order of hash browns, and some eggs. It was DELISH — but I couldn’t finish the hash browns.

And GUESS WHAT? On our way home from BK, we were listening to the radio and heard there’s a marathon this weekend at a nearby town. They are still accepting entries so I’M TOTALLY GOING TO DO IT! I mean, I know I haven’t been training or anything, but I figure I can run 13 miles, so I could definitely do 26.2… right?

I’m so excited, I just sent in my entry fee! I think I can convince Meghann to do it, too!

Wooo HOOO! 26.2 club, here I come. Have a great day!

Hmmm…Announcing a new Marathon and a trip to BK on April 1? I can’t help but be suspicious =)

I was totally in when you went to BK for breakfast, thinking, hmmm somthing different here. But the marathon totally tipped me off! Happy April Fools!

haha the new zealand butter tips me off, plus that’s not how US BK food comes. Trust me…I have lots of experience in my previous life. 😉

oh yeah, and too – the picture totally is in a photubucket album that I seriously doubt came from you! 🙂

Good ONE! 😀
Haleigh April 1, 2009, 4:57 am
Is that an April Fool’s joke? lol.. not saying you couldn’t do it, because you’re a fantastic runner and you most definitely could!! Good luck 🙂
Katie April 1, 2009, 4:59 am
Happy April Fools to you too!!
haya April 1, 2009, 5:03 am
i almost fell for the burger king but you didn’t get me with the marathon 😉

Jen April 1, 2009, 5:07 am
Seriously??? You’re doing a marathon this weekend??? NUTS! 🙂
VeggieGirl April 1, 2009, 5:07 am
ROCK OUT THAT MARATHON!!
Oz Runner April 1, 2009, 5:07 am
it’s fun to be spontaneous….good luck on the race…not sure those BK hash browns will help with your training though ( ;
Jess April 1, 2009, 5:09 am
Happy April Fools to you too! Hehe you’re so tricky aren’t you!
Tyler April 1, 2009, 5:10 am

Mandy April 1, 2009, 5:15 am
lol um april fools???
Christine April 1, 2009, 5:15 am
If it isnt april fools…it will make you feel better to know I ran my first marathon this way. Merely 8 weeks after picking up running..without running further than 10 miles beforehand. It was also one of the hilliest marathons in the country…so it can be done! haha
Rhiannnon April 1, 2009, 5:19 am
ah, shame on those who didn’t get the april fools joke (attn: veggiegirl, geeeeez)

You and the Husband surely have to have some behind the scenes laughs at the comments you receive.

What has been the most bizarre question you’ve fielded in comment history?
jenngirl April 1, 2009, 5:21 am
Classic BK breakfast!

Congrats on the marathon, I KNOW y’all can do it!!
RhodeyGirl/Sabrina April 1, 2009, 5:21 am
silly girl!!!
Allie April 1, 2009, 5:22 am
Ditto! I am seriously disappointed in the readers who are saying “april fools” but then pussy-ing back and saying “oh but you might be serious, i can’t tell” nonsense
Red Head, Yellow Dog April 1, 2009, 5:25 am
oh you’re tricky!!!
Caitlin at Healthy Tipping Point April 1, 2009, 5:26 am
Rhiannnon – Hahah I know what what the strangest question is… I get a lot of weird questions and comments. I can’t pick, plus I wouldnt want to embarass anyone!
sloank April 1, 2009, 5:29 am
Hahahaha as a teacher I should have known! April fools!!!!! I knew there was a catch!!!
Betsy April 1, 2009, 5:40 am
That’s so funny – I’ve never seen you eat fast food for breakfast, and the one day you do you hear about a marathon on the radio!?! Yay for Burger King. 🙂
Erin April 1, 2009, 5:42 am
I kept thinking “What?!” then I remembered what day it is! Nice!
teacherwoman April 1, 2009, 5:44 am
Really? This isn’t some sort of April Fools joke, is it?
ksgoodeats April 1, 2009, 5:52 am
Haha!!
RunningWithin April 1, 2009, 5:53 am
lol. I completely fell for this for a second until I realized it was April 1st, good one!
Elina April 1, 2009, 5:57 am
Hmm, I was going to say you’re crazy for impulse signing up for a marathon… but now I’m thinking it was a joke. Right? right? 😆
Ashley April 1, 2009, 6:02 am
April fools!
Anonymous April 1, 2009, 6:07 am
I am sorry, but I have to say it: The comments on this post say so much about food blogging! I mean, people will praise anything and everything, just to seem nice so people will read their own blogs. It’s so fake sometimes!
Caitlin at Healthy Tipping Point April 1, 2009, 6:11 am
anon – maybe they are just sleepy? 🙂
Audrey April 1, 2009, 6:12 am
i believed you right up til the marathon part haha..those hash browns do look delish though.
Brandi April 1, 2009, 6:28 am
ha – you girls are crazy! You can definitely do it though!

what a totally random and huge decision – maybe The King is on your side 🙂
healthy ashley April 1, 2009, 6:31 am
Burger king and a marathon? WOW! You’re crazy but you can totally do it. I can’t wait to hear more about it!
girlrunningaround April 1, 2009, 6:33 am
Holy Moly! You’re crazy! I can’t wait to hear the tales!
K April 1, 2009, 6:39 am
Amen anon… I completely agree. It gets sickening sometimes…
Dori April 1, 2009, 6:40 am
WOW. You are spontaneous! Good luck — this weekend??!! Wow! You are kinda my hero.
Dori April 1, 2009, 6:41 am
Oh, haha. April fools.
jane April 1, 2009, 6:44 am
this is totally an april fools joke, isn’t it?!
Whitney April 1, 2009, 7:05 am
April Fools! Nice job.
Kristie Lynn April 1, 2009, 7:06 am
Wait… seriously? Thank goodness I’m reading through the other comments so I’m reminded it’s April fools. All I could think was… she’s not really that oblivious, is she? She doesn’t really want to get injured running a marathon when she is having trouble training for her upcoming 15 mile run….

And all I thought about the BK packaging was “hmm, BK packaging changed?”. Heh I’m pathetic.
Carolina John April 1, 2009, 7:12 am
now THAT’s how you commit to an april fool’s joke. Good job!
Matt April 1, 2009, 7:14 am
Nice April Fools joke!
Ryan (Chase Daylight) April 1, 2009, 7:19 am
Hahaha…April Fools 🙂 Good one!
tfh April 1, 2009, 7:28 am
Hahah! Now, that’s the way it’s done. 🙂
Katie April 1, 2009, 7:29 am
whoa! you are crazy!!! But I definitely agree you run enough to be prepared. good luck! I am doing a sprint tri Saturday! I am super excited!
Erica April 1, 2009, 7:41 am
ok…I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t get that this was a joke…hehe
Erica April 1, 2009, 7:43 am
PS- whats up with the anon comment? Yes, I only read your blog so you will read mine….umm?
Run Sarah April 1, 2009, 7:46 am
April Fools!
Sarah April 1, 2009, 7:50 am
Whoa – that is out of control! Can’t wait to read about it.
Victoria April 1, 2009, 7:51 am
April Fools! But I totally believed you for a good minute or two there.
Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat) April 1, 2009, 7:51 am
Just reading the comments here made me laugh!
Niki April 1, 2009, 7:54 am
Haha I’m thinking April Fools?? I’m sure you could do it if you really tried though!!
kirsten April 1, 2009, 8:01 am
I completely believed this until I read Meghann’s post… good one ! 🙂
carolinebee April 1, 2009, 8:04 am
baha i will admit i TOTALLY BELIEVED you…you are a spontaneous running maniac so it wouldn’t be COMPLETELY INSANE, although you would’ve been like hey knees i hate you!! 😀

Danica's Daily April 1, 2009, 8:42 am
You are too funny! Great april fool’s….You all plan on doing a marathon plus .4 – you over achievers ;o)
LT April 1, 2009, 8:52 am
Is it weird that I thought the marathon part was more believable than the BK?!? Haha. I actually used to LOoooooove their ham & cheese "croissanwich", but it's a little too salty for me now.
greendogwine April 1, 2009, 8:59 am
SO here’s the thing. You always say your knees just aren’t capable of doing more than half…that makes me suspicious young lady….april fools? 🙂

If not – more power to ya – I know you’ll kick ass even if your knees fall apart on you…

but i have a feeling you are pulling our leg 🙂
Kath April 1, 2009, 9:33 am
Caitlin I totally believed the breakfast!!
