I'm not a gardener myself, not even much into tending flower beds. In all fairness, Mom did not start doing a lot of gardening until we were all out of college. I've still got time! The school where I work has a fabulous garden where our Ag students grow all sorts of delicious vegetables to serve at school. We've got pickles, zucchini, peppers, celery and broccoli already frozen for later in the winter. There was an event at school this week that required some tomatoes from the garden, so I went out harvesting. Don't you love my Paul Bunyan school lunch shirt?!? Paul is an old family friend! This morning I took Charlie for a walk. We found a garden treat right on the bike path. I believe this is the first time I've ever encountered corn on the bike path. Makes me wonder how it got there...
Even if you don't garden, there are many ways to enjoy fresh vegetables at this time of year. One way would be to let it be known in your workplace that you love veggies but don't have a garden. Expect more zucchini, tomatoes and cucumbers than you'd know what to do with! Many communities have farmer's markets and lots of grocery stores buy from local farmers when they can. Fresh produce is is an ideal way to support your running efforts with proper fuel. It's way easier to learn to like vegetables when they are fresh and tastiest. See if you can add one fresh local food to a meal this week. Happy running! Missee
