Rachel ran to Pittsford in the 75° June sunshine, her quickest half-marathon ever. I traded in our latest compost for our annual share of super dirt at Cobb’s Hill Park, then drove out to meet her. We ate warm falafel pockets at Aladdin’s Natural Eatery by the canal, and then took a ramble through “Shoen Place.”
