I'd really like to see a detailed look at the economics of fruit, but I haven't been able to find much. <BR/><BR/>California Girl,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're liking my blog. I'm starting to see more and more that I do need to take it easy. I'm going to retry that 16 miles this weekend, but I'm prepping two tons of rest. We'll see how it goes. <BR/><BR/>I wish you all the best luck on your marathon as well.Running Rawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401291056990739640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835525038334305726.post-38566791875063814132008-08-01T12:46:00.000-07:002008-08-01T12:46:00.000-07:00HiI just discovered your blog and I will be tunin'...Hi<BR/><BR/>I just discovered your blog and I will be tunin' in (love Sarah's blog also)! I have been a runner for the last 20 years and am a newbie raw foodist. Haven't quite gone 100% but am working on it so you will definitely be an inspiration. I've run one marathon and am now training for a 1/2 marathon to get mileage up for another marathon.<BR/><BR/>Re: your post about the 16 mile run - a rule of thumb is not to push your mileage up over 10% on your long run per week. Probably on the raw diet you could surpass that but experience tells me that you have to respect running and listen to your body. Your muscles, tendons and ligaments need some time to adapt. I have run injury free (excepting the occasional splat on my face) and I have been faithful to a slow warmup, consistency and a respectful increase in mileage- it's worked for me.<BR/><BR/>Good luck and I'll be following your journey- online and on the road!<BR/>MelanieA California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01806699841370285167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835525038334305726.post-16171863697158000912008-07-31T19:16:00.000-07:002008-07-31T19:16:00.000-07:00I liked this post, Andrew.If only I found trees li...I liked this post, Andrew.<BR/><BR/>If only I found trees like that in my neighborhood. :-)<BR/><BR/>I think the reason certain types of fruit are so expensive is because of transport problems.<BR/><BR/>Some fruit is more easily transportable than others, and some spoil more quickly than others.<BR/><BR/>Take figs, for example - they grow really well in my area but you can only find them in a couple of tiny farmer's markets, at $4 a PINT! <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I enjoyed your explanation of the economics of fruit. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827411471672985594noreply@blogger.com
