A FUNtastic Summer Day!

Summer was meant for: family, friends, horses, river/pond water, ice cream, bonfires, a dog, and an old blue truck "The Apple Truck" ...

Susie's Sprouting

The pictures below do not express the full spectrum of fun one can have with sprouting grains and seeds, but nearly.
It's like a Chia Pet map of France. See it? A definite two-thumbs up, tasty and good for you, too.Presently, this massive turf is being dehydrated, which keeps the sprouted enzymes alive; next I'll blend it up into teff "flour," mix it with some other suff and make raw crackers. Cool, huh?

Hopkinton Hospitality

So the race began in Hopkinton, MA, approx. 26 miles from Boston, which most runners are bussed into and the streets close to all vehicular trafic by 6am on race day. For us, we were overwhelmingly blessed to stay with a couple from Hopkinton who was recently reacquainted with Dad at my cousin's wedding last August. We were literally treated like VIPs and family; that alone was probably as memorable as the race itself. We were even able to meet some new cousins because Steve (the aforementioned cousin) and his new wife and baby came to our pre-race dinner Saturday night. Getting to catch up with Steve, Cavi and six-week-old Karline was an additional treat for us.We were well-fueled by good food and company Saturday and well-rested. By this point we've donned our charity clothing (outer layers to toss at the start line for volunteers to collect for charity), and we're comparing pacing strategies. Ready or not, the race is on. I hope to post some evidence of our post race adventures around Boston soon.

Boston

Scouting out the starting area. The kind police officer stopped traffic, so that we could take pictures on the starting line. He said we could lay down on it if we wanted. Sitting on it was close enough.
A little pre-race sight seeing.Post race, yes, it was freezing. Yet, glorious to be done! 3:22:38

A little Awkward Amusement


A unique rendition of the 70's and 80's, combined into one style. Take careful note of the rat-tail. Hope you're as amused as we were.
