I’m running my first half marathon this spring, really excited and scared at the same time. But I just keep telling myself that the magic happens outside my comfort zone. Good luck on your marathon, you can do it!!

Prepare to learn a lot about yourself!! I was sidelined with two shin tears only a few weeks before my race and it was so scary. It’s so hard to know if you’ve trained enough but you body is capable of much more than you realize.
Good luck!

I am a long-time vegan (but not a militant or proselytizing one) and recently happened upon your Breaking Vegan book at a Barnes & Noble…I looked through it and was dismayed that you received the reaction you did from other vegans, etc…I’m embarrassed that such venom and intolerance was directed at you…we all make choices–good, bad and some of no consequence, but your choice should be respected as much as anyone else’s…

It is a cliche, but indeed, life is short and even if we were to live 200 years, we are still a blip in time, so I hope that any angst over some of the reaction you were the target of is in the rear view mirror for you…

Best wishes in your future endeavors…

Jim Leach

I’m with you…Jimmy Dean is one persistent dude. He’s awesome! You are going to rock it at the LA Marathon. I work with an organization called Students Run LA. They have 3,000 middle and high school students running the marathon this Sunday. Be on the lookout for them in the yellow tank tops. I’ll be in the press area at the finish line and will keep my eye out for you and Mike A. 🙂

If I were in your position, I would feel so scared and insecure because I wouldn’t compare with the more advanced trainers! (Trust me, have you seen me run???) Congratulations on getting into the program and stepping out of your comfort zone! I know you can do it!
