Today is 6th Anniversary of being vegan! When I first decided to transition from vegetarian to vegan in December 2013, one of the motivators was my health. I cooked a lot at home, meal prepped, and ate mostly whole foods with the occasional processed faux meat alternative. I also went gluten free around the same … More I was a Junk Food Vegan
Although I went to bed exhilarated by the Olympic Trials and the WeRunSocial meet up, I woke up on race day with mixed feelings. While I was excited to be running my first full marathon, there was a battle going on inside my head. Although I was confident that I could cover the distance and … More LA Marathon Weekend Part 2
I never entertained the thought of finishing a marathon a few years ago. But on Valentine’s Day, I did just that. Here is part 1 of a long overdue race recap.
