So what next? Well, literally, a 5k Trail Run on October 6th along the Yonkers section of the Croton Aqueduct. I'm really excited that the Friends of the Croton Aqueduct have asked Teens Run Yonkers to head up a great run that will go along 3 miles or so of this beautiful trail. We'll be starting at the Shonnard Place entrance and continuing on up to Hastings. This should be a nice change in pace from during lots of running on the street. We're also going to be looking at participation in a few other local races over the next few months.
OK so having nothing to do with running or marathons etc, I was thinking about Rosh Hashanah. I was having a conversation today, discussing the holiday and the first thing that will always come to my mind when it comes to these holidays: BRISKET. Yes, brisket. For those of you who may be less familiar, here is the wikipedia definition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisket
Pay special attention to the line in there that says:
The fat cap often left attached to the brisket helps to keep the meat from over-drying during the prolonged cooking necessary to break down the connective tissue in the meat. Water is necessary for the conversion of collagen to gelatin.[1]
If that doesn't whet your appetite, what will?
But not to make fun as we are observing the holiday, I thought it might be interesting to pose the question - for those that are celebrating - what was your "most memorable"
holiday meal as a kid. I'm sure we could all share some pretty funny stories.
But in all seriousness, wishing everyone a wonderful and happy new year
