Running and Apples

My husband and friends who read the blog keep asking me to write a little more about the big transformation I have done over the past few months.  I guess I am giving in to their wish today by telling you about my running.  In the past six months, at a ripe old age, I have become a runner and am running some road races.  Here is a link to a newsletter I write that describes “the big race” I did this summer that started it all and the “life lessons” I learned in the process. 

That road race was such an interesting experience that I immediately signed up for another one that is this Saturday.  This race is an 8 kilometer race that is part of the local Apple Festival.  Apples are a big deal in this town as we have many local growers.  The marketing of the entire festival is interesting to watch each year.  I have been wondering if there will be cider at the water stops during the race….  Stay tuned next week and I’ll report on how the humble apple was or wasn’t used in relation to the actual race.
