Coconut Cake and Treadmills

For the last few days, I have not been able to stop daydreaming about coconut cake.  I'm not sure why.  I've never made one... I don't think I've ever even tasted one.  But, nonetheless, I am craving one.  

I mean...

Doesn't this look heavenly?

Something about the absolute whiteness of it makes it look so perfect.

Does anyone have a good coconut cake recipe?  I have found several recipes online, but many of them are quite different from one another.  Never having even tasted a coconut cake, I'm not sure where to go with it.  

In other news, I ran for 3.1 miles today without taking a walking break.  I have only done that once before, during the Watermelon 5K.  I haven't been able to do it since, so I thought it was just a fluke.  But I did it today, despite the pain from yesterday's workout (I can't sit, stand, bend, walk, etc. without moaning.)  It's getting easier and easier, and I can tell I am really building up endurance.  According to the treadmill, I ran it in about 38 and a half minutes. Slower than my 5K time, even though I felt like I was running a lot faster.  I wonder how accurate treadmills really are.

Well, I am off to watch Monday night's DVRed The Bachelorette.  One of my reality TV guilty pleasures...
