So...

Been doing some research on how to optimize my eating...energy levels, yada yada. Came across this other blog, you can see it on the right hand side or here (www.charskitchen.blogspot.com) Lots and lots of interesting recipes. Also, Going to make a stop at Whole Foods tomorrow with the kids and most likely pick up the book Thrive by Brendan Brazier. Seems interesting. Will I become a vegan? No, which is a quick answer especially since I would hunt down a cow myself if I had to when I'm craving a cheeseburger BUT I definitely want to try and lean more about the healthier way of eating, especially on some of my long run days. We'll see what it does and if what this Brazier guys says is true... (rocky is probably grinning from ear to ear with this vegan talk...but you can't fool me...I see you eating those sausage and meatballs from time to time lol)....

P.S...If you go onto that blog there are recipe groupings on the side...stews, smoothies etc.!

Some convincing footage...

Awesome!!! Rocky and I are grinning, and yes, we had sausage and beans last night. :)

That guy Brazier is good. He used to have a website with free training advice, too. I remember looking at his stuff when I was training for the 10K. Of course that wasn't really that far or that hard to train for... it was more figuring out how to eat bc I was hungrier while training, but with the distance stuff you are doing you really want to make sure you are fueling your body right. Good luck!!

Sounds great! By the way, I don't think everyone needs to be a vegan. I just think you have to be really choosy about the kind of meat you buy. Check out omnivore's dilemma; that's a good book, too.
