Last year I stumbled across Finding Ultra somehow. I was truly considering going vegan. I had always been a meat eater (grew up in the south/midwest) but live out here in Seattle now. Eventually, I started to question my eating habits. Your book gave me a.. I don't even know what to say, man. It changed my perspective on a lot of things and has been nothing but a positive force in my life. I listen to your podcast and love what you and Julie bring to the table _^
You've both helped me immensely on my journey toward healing. I've lost weight and inches I didn't think was possible in 6 weeks (at least, not possible for me but I was wrong!) and I have more energy than ever AND I'm HAPPY.. a lot.
This weekend, I'm signing up for my first half-marathon. I've only ever run 7 miles (as of last week) but it's the farthest I've ever gone . I was so happy it felt "easy"? I don't know a better word for it. It was fun :) But I'm nervous about the half. I've never ever run a race or done anything competitive in sports. I was the least likely to be an athlete out of everyone in my family. I'm just about as nervous as I used to get before going on stage. I know I could read books and articles.. but you're sort of a long distance mentor and it would be cool to get some insight or feedback from you. _^ Plus, I'm doing it to celebrate my 31st birthday next Monday (which is when I should get the Plant Power Way).
What should I remember/think about when I step up to the start of the race? :)
