Yep, we're still running. Most of the injuries accumulated this spring have healed and we're shuffling through mile after mile again.

I am the Galloping Turtle. Hear me roar.

We're planning on running the Philadelphia Half-Marathon next month. Will any of you be there?

If you live in Central New York, come join us the week before for a more reasonable race. My hometown of Mexico NY is holding its annual 5K Cider Run and Walk on Saturday, September 13. All of the proceeds benefit the Mexico public library, a small library which serves a lot of people quite admirably. Don't worry if you are not quite fleet of foot; lots of folks walk this race instead of running.

The run winds gently through town, beginning and ending at the high school. I imagine that the local pick-your-own apple orchards will be open, so you can make the trip well worth your while.

It's a short stroll in a lovely village, you can pick apples, and it's for a great cause. Do it! You know you want to! And you can even register for the race online. How easy is that?
