An Intervention is Necessary

I am sure most of you are thinking I am talking about the one and only Paula who needs an intervention (and she totally does) but, I am actually referring to me.  I need the intervention.  I clearly have an addictive type personality and I should know better when I am told something like..."Don't even try that because it is sooooo good and you will love it and once you have one you will need it everyday."  I am usually able to resist temptation as long as I have never had whatever "it" might be.  So, a friend told me about these wonderful doughnuts at a local coffee establishment.  I will NOT tell you the name of the establishment because I don't want to be the one responsible who gets you started down this dark path but, the coffee place rhymes with Marbucks.  

I say..."But, Marbucks isn't known for their doughnuts, they are famous for their overly caffeinated coffee beverages.  You mean that they have a pastry better than the petite vanilla scones?"   And, boy howdy, do they ever!!!  Their glazed doughnuts are so yummy.  They have just enough glaze (or some type of crack cocaine since it is so addictive) on them that they aren't too mushy and they are still sweet and it was still moist at 10:00 when I began my make out session with the doughnut.  I ate the whole thing in about four bites and it left me wanting more.  I am salivating just thinking about it...this can't be good. 

As the day wore on, I continued to think about that doughnut and the fact that I had skipped my run that morning.   I felt really guilty that I, not only, skipped my run but had a tasty treat as well.  When I got home I went for that run to punish myself for eating a piece of the devil himself.  Do you know what  happened?  I had the best run EVER!!!  I even ran an extra half mile on top and felt great after.  I have now convinced myself that Marbucks doughnuts are necessary for my running schedule.  Is that wrong?
