Again, the Hospital Hill run is set for this saturday, June 11. Our 15th annual…again starts at 8AM. 5K walk, 5K run, and 1 mile run. Here you are looking at the side of the hospital hill where we finish just over the top.
Here is another view from the top of the hill. The weather is supposed to be a little on the cool side, but no rain. Perfect for a walk/run. Hope to see you there!

The world of nutrition has some very exciting news! The government has issued a new food plan in the shape of a plate rather than the pyramid. The plate replaces the pyramid as the main visual icon for ‘what to eat’ by the USDA, however the food groups and recommendations remain the same. This is in part of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign that is working towards reducing the rates of obesity in America. I invite you all to check out the new website: www.choosemyplate.gov and work at achieving a healthy plate!

Saturday was the 7th Annual Ford Law Office Time Trial bike ride around the lake, followed by the family poker ride. The temp was in the upper 50’s, but the initial ride around the lake was very windy, making for a challenging ride in the open. It was a very good day to be outside though.
Participants are lining up for final instructions prior to starting. Sarah and I went out for a bike ride earlier today, and the winds were very calm today. It made for a very enjoyable, comfortable ride today after racing yesterday. See how the weather holds out for the coming week. Enjoy!
