and-events/2018/new-balance- 5th-avenue-mile - Check out this article by Elizabeth Laseter. From Elizabeth: “I thought the Whippets might be interested in reading this article for Cooking Light I wrote recently. It’s an interview with Elyse Kopecky (co-author of Run Fast Eat Slow with Shalane Flanagan). They have a new cookbook coming out in a few weeks. It’s kinda long but there’s some good tips in there for runners! Here’s the link, in case you want to include in this week’s Wag: https://www.cookinglight.com/
