Blackberries!




As I still try to "run," I've had more time to enjoy my surroundings. That being said, the 3-mile loop near our house is overgrown with wild blackberries. I've stopped on several runs to eat them - for an energy boost (who needs power gels or sports beans?). Jason and I hurried home today and spent an hour picking the berries. We filled up two large bags of them - and they are so yummy! We haven't even put a dent in what's out there, so Maria may join us next time. You can't really tell from the picture, but in addition to the awkwardness of walking with 15 extra pounds on my stomach, I accidentally only brought two right shoes for our hike. I can't say I've ever done that before...
