Long Island Greenbelt Run


Today Kristen and I decided to run the Long Island Greenbelt trail.  We were both inspired to do some trail running by this book we read called “Born to Run“.  This was the first time either of us had been trail running but we managed to knock out 6.5 miles.

This looks like a Sasquatch sighting…but it’s actually me

We were having a great time weaving through the woods until this smell in the woods hit me and I said “it’s smells like there’s a dead body out here” and Kris screamed like she actually tripped over a dead body.

Children of the Corn

Kris and I decided to take a trip to PA to see some friends and get lost in a giant field of corn.  This corn maze is right in the middle of meat and potato lovin’ Pennsylvania Dutch country and is called “The Cherry Crest Adventure Farm”.

Cherry Crest Children of the CornI was waiting for Maliki to greet us at the ticket booth, but it was neither him, nor a person wielding a sickle so I was relieved.

It took us an hour and a half to “almost” find our way out of the maze and we felt like little mice in a laboratory with our reward being some Dutch Country Fudge waiting for us in the courtyard.

Apparently, this is a map of all the people who who have been swallowed up by the corn maze.  My guess is they have been made into Shoofly Pie.

What we didn’t anticipate was the feverish spell the corn maze had put on Mellisa and Jay. They were clearly the mice with a mission, hell bent on finding all the maze puzzle pieces and claiming the 2009 Maize Masters title (fictional title that they so rightly deserve)

“Can someone just point me in the general vicinity of fudge?”

“can we get some blue puzzle pieces so it looks like we tried?”

That morning Jay and I went for a six mile run so I got to see the Vibram 5 fingers “Barefoot running shoes” in action.
