Eight Miles Forward, Two Miles Back

by Katy on November 25, 2009

Vegan Day 5 39

WHINE ALERT! Don’t worry — it will be short-lived because I have a lot to be thankful for. Remember that amazing 8-mile run I had on Friday? I felt great all day Friday, all day Saturday, all day Sunday. And on Monday, I wanted to run, but I thought — give it one more day [...]

#VeganWeek The Husband's Perspective

by Katy on November 23, 2009

#VeganWeek Day 2: BEST.MEALS.EVER.

by Katy on November 17, 2009

Vegan Day 2 1

I think Lucas is taking this whole “vegan cleanse” a little too far, don’t you? This is how he started his day: Don’t worry — lifeguards are always on duty. Ahhh, the life of the unemployed. After I left this sweet family scene, I powered up for Day 2 of #VeganWeek with some yerba maté: [...]
