So I guess this whole vegetarian thing really ISN'T so bad.

Check this out: an entire SCHOOL goes vegetarian! The article quotes Dennis Walcott, New York City schools chancellor: "Whoever thought they would hear a third-grader saying that they liked tofu and Chinese noodles?"

Speaking of tofu, used some recently to make my FAVORITE salad ever. Corn, chickpeas, spinach and tofu, with a little bit of lemon juice and olive oil. I'm seriously in Heaven. Good food, helps me feel great, protein / iron / other great things :) Paired with a veggie burger and some juice, or soup, or even on it's own, I love it!

Run a marathon... at age 91.

Mike Fremont credits his ability to run a marathon at age 91 to his diet! Read more here: http://www.runnersworld.com/races/mike-fremont-91-finishes-knoxville-half-marathon-304. I really have felt better since not eating meat (and thanks to some great veggie-burger, veggie-chick'n, veggie-sausage, etc. options, I haven't even craved it).

Many of my family, friends and co-workers are running a 5K this weekend -- the Race for Stace, https://sites.google.com/site/raceforstace/, to benefit a classmate of mine. I've had a blast training for it, and cannot wait to keep running afterwards! Thanks to all who have been great supporters during this new adventure in my life.

Have a great day!
