Blogging is like a journal and even though it's public for others to see, it's wonderfully refreshing to write how you really feel sometimes. I can so relate to so many things in this post.<br /><br />I'd like to know more about what you and Zach do when you're out with friends on the weekend and eating-wise. Since you guys are social, has it changed in that aspect b/c some friends probably won't go to a vegan restaurant. Just curious because I feel like we need to make some changes in my household. <br /><br />Lastly, GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND. You are going to kick ass, no doubt about it. And, for the record, a BQ is still HARD! <br /><br />And instead of writing a super long comment I realize I just should have e-mailed you.

I'm still working on this.<br /><br />I'm excited about our yoga'ing tonight. I forgot my mat at home, think they will have extras???<br /><br />I think not putting all the pressure on yourself for a PR or whatever is KEY to successful races, at least for me it is.<br /><br />I can't wait to be Emily's guinea pig.Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468073781328699944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-34899466519551873102010-04-27T10:28:44.962-07:002010-04-27T10:28:44.962-07:00Hey Jen!

All of my vegetables, pork, chicken, and eggs come from two farms which are no farther than 7 miles from my house, farms I have been to many times, and are owned by people I know by name (and who know me). My third season of my CSA farm share starts at the end of May and I am SUPER excited! <br /><br />If you haven't ever tried quinoa I highly recommend it. It's a whole grain which is packed with protein.<br /><br />GOOD LUCK ON THE RACE!!!Sun Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971351872301112088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-51544523935509245542010-04-27T09:43:54.176-07:002010-04-27T09:43:54.176-07:00I'm in full agreement with the rest of the pos...I'm in full agreement with the rest of the posts - I love this one!! :) Tears are welling up...

I'm...great post. lots of stuff going on here. <br /><br />I'm really trying to get into the yoga. I don't have a connection with it like you do. I look at it more as a recovery or a compliment to my other training....mabye that will change some day.<br /><br />It's funny that I've been eating that kind of stuff for years and I've always been the weird one. It's annoying that people are being pushy about it now, although I do appreciate how much easier it is to find good quality local foods. <br /><br />I love your mindset right now.

I'm sure you're gonna kick butt!<br /><br />J and I have also changed our eating habits over the last few months. We even went Veggie for Lent, which was amazing! I never thought I could do that before! I definitely don't crave the crap I used to, and I feel SO good! (I've lost a fair amount of weight, too! :)<br /><br />I know what you mean about the price tag on "good food". It doesn't sting too much when you think about how much healthier it is for us, and how we're helping the local economy! :) Hippie's unite!Maryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01031976735913280551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-91095555255525870432010-04-27T07:55:05.636-07:002010-04-27T07:55:05.636-07:00You are ready for Eugene!
