Organic Food: The Magic Number 9
Today's Run: 4.5 miles
Run Time: 49:02 minutes
Total Miles to Date: 887.3 miles
Thoughts on the Run:
Great run.
Had some work at home so took advantage of being able to run during the day when it was 40s instead of in the dark 30s. It was interesting that the run felt like a struggle. I've purposefully decided not to worry about pace/etc on my "easy" (non-paced) runs, so I thought I was going really slow. Despite the struggle, I only stopped once before a particularly long hill ... and then made it up and down the hill nonstop. Turns out I had a decent pace (thought I was doing 12-minute miles, found I was doing better than 11 minutes per mile).
Feel good, glad I'm keeping the momentum and staying at it.
So what about the magic number 9?
I learned yesterday that the organic foods have product codes that start with 9, while regular produce starts with 4. Also learned what happens to a person when they live exclusively on organic food long enough to be certified as organic meat (hey, it's true ... three years on nothing but organic food makes YOU organic according to the FDA). Have some fun, I did, and read For Three Years, Everything Organic.
Warmly,
