Happy Birthday Lady Liberty! and other news....

I know I need to write a race report post, but I've been feeling a bit under the weather the past couple of days. I'll get it up soon, promise!

In the meantime, It's Lady Liberty's 125th birthday today! Check out this article from the Detroit News:

Lady Liberty Turns 125

and also check out the webcams from the statue of Liberty brought to you by Earthcam.com . There are Statue of Liberty cams on the main page, or you can also go here to find a few more:

The webcam that they placed in the Torch is particularly interesting to me...did you know that no one has been allowed up in the Torch since 1916? And now anyone from any part of the world is able "visit". I think that's pretty neat!

I'd love to run along New York's waterfront with the Statue of Liberty as the backdrop...I'm a sucker for a good, scenic run!

In other news, it's both National Chocolate Day and National American Beer Day! I know what you're thinking...if it were any better it'd be Christmas! :) Looking for a great way to celebrate? Check out this article  from asweetlife.org that goes into detail about how dark chocolate can be a healthy addition to your diet:

Dark Chocolate Health Benefts

And also check out this site on the healthy benefits of beer (I haven't been through the whole website, but what I did read looked very informative):

I don't know about you, but I'm going to find me a square of dark chocolate and a bottle of one of my favorite Michigan brews, brought to us by Bell's Brewery: Oberon (the last of the season, I'm sure). All I need is a slice of orange and I'm good to go...Cheers!
