Truffle Shuffle

Right when we decided to start running, we registered for a short, manageable local race in February. It's called the Truffle Shuffle, it's a nice flat 2 miles along the river, and it's sponsored by a beloved local chocolate company, so everyone gets a truffle at the finish line. Talk about dangling a carrot in front of me!

I was looking for the race site today to see what time it started to put it on my calendar. When I googled Truffle Shuffle, I learned that the term is from the movie Goonies (which, incidentally, was filmed here in Oregon)! Of course I've seen the movie, but I'm awful at pop culture quotes and references, so I never would have gotten the connection.

For your amusement, may I present you with the original truffle shuffle:
