The reason for this post is to talk about food swapping not running.

I know, it’s strange.  Me talking about healthy food not running injuries!

The Foodie Pen Pal program is organized by Lindsey over at The Lean Green Bean.  In case you’ve never heard of this program,  here’s what it’s all about:

• On the 5th of every month, you will receive your penpal pairing via email. It will be your responsibility to contact your penpal and get their mailing address and any other information you might need like allergies or dietary restrictions.
• You will have until the 15th of the month to put your box of goodies in the mail.
• On the last day of the month, you will post about the goodies you received from your penpal! 
• The boxes are to be filled with fun foodie things, local food items or even homemade treats! The spending limit is $15. The box must also include something written. This can be anything from a note explaining what’s in the box, to a fun recipe…use your imagination!
• You are responsible for figuring out the best way to ship your items depending on their size and how fragile they are. (Don’t forget about flat rate boxes!)
• Foodie Penpals is open to blog readers as well as bloggers. If you’re a reader and you get paired with a blogger, you are to write a short guest post for your penpal to post on their blog about what you received. If two readers are paired together, neither needs to worry about writing a post for that month. 
• Foodie Penplas is open to US & Canadian residents.  Please note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only.

If you’re interested in participating for November, please CLICK HERE to fill out the participation form and read the terms and conditions.You must submit your information by November 4th as pairings will be emailed on November 5th!

It seemed like fun and maybe another way to meet new bloggers and to focus on healthy eating.

I was assigned to Sara at Run Around Sara. Head over to her blog to check out what I sent her!

cinnamon apple pancake mix and syrup

Apple pie is my favorite dessert so I knew that I would love these.

pancakes for dinner – YUM!

A big thanks to Jennifer for the goodies.  It was great to try  something that I wouldn’t have otherwise eaten!

I have already signed up for the Foodie Pen Pal project for November and I can’t wait to go shopping again for my new foodie pal!

Happy Running!  Happy Eating!
