Time flies when you're having fun or at the very least ignoring your blog. So in the time since my last post, Glenda and I went on a cruise on the Slipstream with an amazing bunch from Lone Star Texas Grill for the trip of a life time.
I have run a couple thousand kilometres which included two 10km races, a 15km race, three 1/2 marathons, two 30km races and two marathons. I have also taught a 10km running clinic and am currently co-teaching a 1/2 marathon clinic with Glenda at the Running Room in Port Credit.
In the way of life changing events, I have adopted a plant based diet after reading a book by Scott Jurek called Eat to Run (Scott is winner of many ultra distance races including the Badwater 135) and Rich Roll's Finding Ultra (Rich is an Ultra Distance Triathlete -think like double Ironman distance race) - both had found that when they became plant based in their eating, they were able to train harder and recover faster for their races. I met Rich in September 2012 at the Toronto Vegetarian Festival - a highlight for sure!
At the time I was training for a fall marathon and felt it worth a shot. Not only did I have a solid time, I also found along the way that I felt better in general and I am wearing clothes sizes I didn't wear in high school! Pretty Cool!!
I hope all are well, gonna work on blogging more consistently. Hopefully with stuff that will be of interest.
Be well.
