If you have not hit your local farmer's market lately you are missing out.
It is my favorite time of year. Every farmer is overflowing with beautiful ripe fruits and vegis.
You support you local farmers, reduce your carbon footprint and eat some super healthy food!
Enjoy!

Get Running
I have had a love hate relationship with running most of my life. I do it because it is great cardio and is good for me but was never happy about it.
But then I broke my ankle and couldn't run and all I wanted to do was go for a run (I even had dreams about it). I'm getting back to it slowly but surely.
So incase you are full of excuses not to run here are some untrue statements you may have heard.
3 Myths about running and your health
"Every person who takes up running has been confronted by a “helpful” critic who is more than happy to reel off the reasons running will ruin your life. Here’s a look at three questionable claims about running and health:
1. Running will give you a heart attack or other heart problems. It is true that exercise temporarily raises the odds of a heart attack while you're mid-workout, but doing it consistently reduces that risk over the long haul, leading to a net benefit. Going for a run most days of the week is doing far more good than bad for your heart.
2. Running will ruin your bones and joints. A study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found no evidence of accelerated rates of osteoarthritis among long-distance runners. Weight-bearing exercise like running helps stave off osteoporosis by maintaining bone mineral density.
3. Running will kill you before your time. According to a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine, running and other vigorous exercise in middle age is associated with a longer life. Not only that, it will make your later years more pleasant by reducing disability."
