13.1!

13.1 MILES in a Half Marathon

And the point 1 is the killer! I spent this morning running the Annual Covered Bridges Half Marathon. It starts in Woodstock, Vermont and continues onto Quechee Vermont, where I live. It poured the entire race and the temp never broke 61 degrees, but it was a great feeling to finish the race!Bib number 2589 (alpha order). The course crosses the covered bridge in Woodstock and passes by two others. Here I am coming into the finish! My legs are covered in mud from running on the dirt road!

At the finish, you get complimentary beer, massages and bagels! Lots of bagels!

Two years in a row to run this race! Lucky Me!

My talented husband has been crafting some lovely cutting boards in his woodshop lately. These cutting boards are unique and each is a work of art. They are sold exclusively through MEDITRINA www.facebook.com/pages/chester-VT/meditrina-wine-and-cheese/340918306169 a great wine-cheese-beer shop in Chester, Vermont! I will walk you through the process. First the wood is dried (for years) then cut into board planks. He then cuts the planks and planes them down. Then he sands each cutting board by hand.

Here he is taking the the local Cherrywood and sands it down by hand.

Next, they get hand rubbed and oiled up with Mineral Oil (safe to ingest)!

Some more hand rubbing!

Here is a stack getting ready to go outside

Finally, they hang outside in the sunshine to dry and turn that beautiful cherry red color!
