Anyone into running at all?

I love trail running. I try to trail run a few times a week.

I’ve done half marathons, full marathons, and recently ran a 50K. My goal is 100 miles eventually.

It sounds like such a silly saying, but it somewhat is ironically true - eating an apple a day is a healthy habit that provides good fiber and vitamin C that can give your body that small boost with natural sugar to keep you going in a pinch.

How often do you have takeaways? What is your favorite one?
