What’s the Best Thing About Summer

My favorite part of summer is the delicious inexpensive fruit. Growing up in Washington I became accustomed to having a big box of cherries, peaches and or nectarines around. While you can’t buy a 40lbs box of nectarines for $20 from a roadside stand the grocery store has had a great selection. These are my favorite snacks by far. A good cherry, peach or nectarine is even better than candy and I have quite the sweet tooth. The great thing about fruit is that it is good for you.br /br /The last week was a large volume week of training and I have been refueling with lots of fruit. I did enjoy my recovery day on Monday at ‘The Club.’ I joined the garden club for the first time. The group is working hard on a plot about a mile away. I am looking forward to some great fresh broccoli and spinach soon. br /br /I need to do a better job of bringing my camera to a few workouts during the week. This was perhaps my favorite workout of the week. Skate Threshold Intervals 4*8min at L3 on Cty OO. Previewing next weeks time trial course. Jay from ActivEdge passed by on his way to pick strawberries and left a box on Kuzzy’s truck. Awesome.br /div style=”text-align: center;”a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M9ps8F85nS0/SlFHZ3Yb7_I/AAAAAAAAAQ0/gkkx7Uxhajs/s1600-h/strawberries+001.JPG”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M9ps8F85nS0/SlFHZ3Yb7_I/AAAAAAAAAQ0/gkkx7Uxhajs/s400/strawberries+001.JPG” alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355139941608976370″ border=”0″ //aspan style=”font-style: italic;”Thanks Jay for the Strawberries, what a great way to finish a workout/spanbr //divdiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8083254037538554650-44017297198172403?l=in-the-arena-brian.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
