I woke up in Montgomery and went for a run, didn't find any good tracks where Carol (our B&B hostess) had indicated but at least I impressed her by knowing what a gazebo was lol (thanks Gilmore Girls), and ended running around some baseball fields.
On my way back to the B&B every truck driver said hello to me :) gotta love little towns ... but I digress, I went running in front of a bakery and the air smelled like nothing so on our way out of town I stopped there.
The old lady tending the bakery wasn't the smiley kind but when I told her my story she insisted that I chose a different kind of cupcake, instead of the one that I wanted, and when I was adamant on my chocolate & chocolate cupcake she gave me, the one she was recommending, for free.
So in the end I ate too much sugar by the lake.
