What I eat

You could say I am a very picky eater. I try to eat healthy. No artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, high frutose corn syrp or gmo's. I limit soy and proceed foods (but sometimes you need an Amy's meal night). And I buy organic when ever I can.

For as long as I can remember I have stomach issues. And I have taken medication on and off for the past 20 years to try and help. But the meds didn't fix the problem, it help it from hurting as much. But I was taking a muscle relaxer 4 times a day. And if I didn't take it right on time, I would still end up sick. So knowing that there are some foods that I just can't eat. I thought I would play with my diet and see what happens.

My diet had very little red meat and some chicken. So I thought that would be a good place to start. And so I cut meat out and I could tell a difference. Then eggs came out, until finally dairy. Ice cream was the hardest to give up, but I have found some good replacements.

So I have gone from a flexitarian (a vegetarian that will eat meat) to a vegan over the last six months. And it has made a huge difference in the way I feel. I no long feel sick to my stomach all the time. I have been able to stop taken medication for my stomach, which has help increase my energy level. I just feel better over all.

Training

I am once again in full training mode. I will be doing the See Jane Run Half-Marathon in Seattle on July 17th.  I would like to run/walk this race but because of leg issues I think it's going to be more like walk/jog. I will be doing the race with my sister, so it will be fun no matter the speed.(My sister walks as fast as me and she runs faster. So if anything I am going to be the slower one.) Right now I get my run* in after I drop off my youngest at school. So with only week and a half before school gets out for the summer,  I will have to find a new time. And with this being Texas the low temp not is below 70 now. Running earlier is the day works much better for me. I have already gotten to the point were I have to carry water with me and it well only get warmer.  I will most likely switch to a sunrise run time. I think that the sunrise has to be the coolest time of day when it is light out. I don't run in the dark. I street run it's just not safe, to many haz...
