Happy New Year



Happy New Year

I completed 4 marathons in 2011 raising money for the TeamHope4Warriors and TNT. This year I will continue with TeamHope4Warriors. I am sign up for a halves in St Pete and Sarasota and full marathons in Napa and the Marine Corps so far. I have also committed to St Anthony's Olympic distance triathlon and the Vineman half iron distance triathlon. My goals are still the ever illusive BQ and a shot at a full Ironman in the next two years. Happy to report my Mom is doing well. We have all adopted the Vegan life and are loving it. I loved Forks over Knives and have become a promoter of sorts. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau 's food for thought has also become an inspiration. I hope to show more people what great benefits can be reaped from being Vegan. For starts my marathon recovery and training recovery has markedly improved. I have dropped a few pounds without trying as an extra benefit. I have not had the dreaded "GI " issues while running since becoming Vegan.
I have been training with my two German Shepherds. They take turns pacing me and are great companions.
