This is my schedule for next week:

Friday: Rest Day
Saturday: 4K Pack Run
Sunday: Run for Retina 1/2 Marathon
Yesterday I made Peanut Butter Eggs from back to her roots blog.
These turned out pretty good!

Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup of honey
1 cup of dry nonfat milk powder
1/2 cup of oats
6 ounces of chocolate (I used the wafers from the bulk food store)
Sprinkles
Instructions:
In a microwave safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey.
Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds or until peanut butter and honey are melted.
Stir well to combine.  Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine milk powder and oats.
Pour in peanut butter and honey and mix well until well incorporated.
Shape the peanut butter dough into discs.
Place between two pieces of waxed paper and roll out to about 1/4inch thickness.
Using an egg shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many eggs as possible.
Gather scraps, re-roll and re-cut.
Repeat until dough is gone.  If you don't have a egg shaped cookie cutter, use a circle.
In another microwave safe bowl microwave chocolate for 20 - 30 seconds.  Stir frequently.
Dip one side of each egg in chocolate.  (I tried dipping both and it was just a mess)
Decorate with sprinkles.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
