The flavour (and appearance) of real strawberries compared to supermarket ones is unbelievable. I usually buy organic strawberries as well and that also ups the flavour considerably. You settled it, I am gonna grab me some berries at a fruit stand today and eat pounds of them for supper, maybe with some creme fraiche. Yum.
Wow, now I'm really hungry! These strawberries look beautiful!
Don't feel bad about your 5K time! My runs this week have been abyssmal, too-- I feel like I'm dehydrated five minutes into the run! Yuck!
